By Toronto Life

Last night’s Golden Globes ceremony was, as always, all about Hollywood, but anyone paying careful attention would have noticed a good deal more Canadian content than usual.

Before the ceremony even got started, there was Fiji Water Girl—a model, apparently hired to promote the bottled water brand, who somehow managed to sidle into a bunch of red carpet standups as celebrities were arriving. She quickly became a meme. It turns out her name is Kelleth Cuthbert and she’s from Canada.

The evening kicked off with a sketch featuring Toronto’s own Jim Carrey, who was nominated for his performance in the TV series Kidding. The premise of the bit was that Carrey, who was seated with the movie stars, had to be forcibly relocated to the back of the room to sit with his new TV brethren. Here he is peering at co-hosts Sandra Oh (who grew up near Ottawa!) and Andy Samberg through faux binoculars:
