Can't get enough of the Golden Globes diversity? Besides some of the cast of Crazy Rich Asians, there were plenty of other Asians and Asian Americans making their presence felt.
Here's a few posts from Instagram and Twitter taken at the after parties, the Red Carpet and onstage:
Netflix executive Lisa Nishimura celebrated Roma's success.

Jameela Jamil of The Good Place was in a good mood.

Sandra Oh's genuine reaction when she was announced a Golden Globe winner.
Sandra Oh acknowledges Emma Stone's shouted out apology when Oh made a joke about whitewashing joke about Aloha, which starred Stone as an Asian American.
CHARMING AUDIENCES with his sarcastic wit and outrageous sensibility, Nico Santos has that rare ability to be crass and snarky while at the same time remaining completely likable. That sort of describes the character he plays as Mateo, and undocumented, queer, Filipino American, in NBC's hit comedy Superstore. Santos will play Oliver in Crazy Rich Asians "The fact that I get to play a queer Filipino on television and another queer character in Crazy Rich Asians is huge. I never thought I’d have a career being myself," quipped Santos in an interview with Huffington Post.
The Filipino American comedian was asked if he felt there was any extra pressure for Crazy Rich Asians to be successful.
"I do hope that Crazy Rich Asians leads to more work because I do want to expand what I’m doing out there. I mean, I try not to think, like, “Ugh, if Crazy Rich Asians doesn’t do well, then they’ll never make another Asian movie ever again.” I really hope that’s not the case. I hope the industry doesn’t see this as the one shot we get. We should be making these kinds of movies and telling these kinds of stories. There should be five more movies coming out this year that are just like Crazy Rich Asians and five more movies just like Black Panther.”
Listen to this interview about his role in Superstore, and what it was like working with an all-Asian cast and largely Asan crew in the upcoming movie Crazy Rich Asians.
Some of the 'Crazy Rich Asians' cast were on hand for the special preview, including, from left, Nico Santos, Gemma Chan, Henry Golding, Constance Wu, Jimmy O. Yang and Awkafina.
A SPECIAL PREVIEW of the upcoming movie, Crazy Rich Asians, was held in L.A. last night. In the audience were a whole bunch of AAPI influencers (Hey, why wasn't Views From the Edge invited?). The initial response: overwhelming, tears, joy, pride, emotional. My two favorite tweets: From director John M. Chu, "It's not a movie, it's a movement."
And we get this from from Andre J. Daughtry. He said what, I've been thinking : Crazy Rich Asians is to AAPI as Black Panther is for African/Americans. That's putting a lot of pressure on the film adaptation of Kevin Kwan's best-selling novel.
Take a look at the sampling of the responses below for yourself. For more critiques, go to Next Shark.
I swear, we're not in the PR business, much less promoting a particular movie, but if you're not getting revved up about Crazy Rich Asians, which will premiere Aug. 17, then ...
