The Golden Globes not only celebrated Hollywood’s finest performances of the past year, but also served as proof that no star is cool enough to not thank mom while accepting their award. And it’s pretty freakin’ adorable.

But it wasn’t just parents that were celebrated during acceptance speeches. “God” was said six times, variations of “thank you” were spoken 152 times, “love” was uttered 15 times and “oh my God” was said once (by our forever heartthrob Christian Slater).

So, how did last night’s winners do? PEOPLE investigates (cue the Law & Order theme song).
