The star-studded event also saw presenters including Cate Blanchett, Claire Danes, Jake Gyllenhaal, Neil Patrick Harris, Oprah Winfrey and many more take to the stage.
It was announced on Sunday via the award show's Twitter account that the ceremony would be dedicated to the victims of the Pulse nightclub terrorism attack.
At least 50 people were killed and 53 were injured when a gunman opened fire early Sunday morning at the venue in Orlando, Florida.
