The Golden Globe Awards' opening with Jimmy Fallon poking fun at "La La Land," the night's biggest movie, made a big splash on social media with nearly a half-million views on YouTube in less than a day.

"The Tonight Show" host's song-and-dance number, also making fun of movies such as "Arrival" and television shows like "Stranger Things," included cameos from Nicole Kidman, Amy Adams, John Travolta, Rami Malek, Tina Fey, and Justin Timberlake.

"Of course, Fallon also enlisted Justin Timberlake to close out the number with a dance among the stars," noted the Huffington Post's Cole Delbyck. "By that we mean actual stars, as the duo parodied the famous scene from 'La La Land' and two-stepped in the sky."
