Ryan Gosling Dedicates Globe to Eva Mendes' Brother

After beginning the year with a long and ambitious list of priorities, the GOP is lagging far behind its expectations for its policy agenda, NBC News reported. Republicans are pushing to get the American Health Care Act passed in the Senate, which they say is what will allow them to switch focus to tax reform. They also need to address infrastructure, which was a top agenda item for the president. What has dragged on the party’s momentum was the slower-than-anticipated confirmations of President Donald Trump’s nominees, as well as the ongoing controversy over investigations into Russia meddling in last year’s election. Congress has just seven weeks left before the beginning of August, when lawmakers take five weeks off. Then the fall agenda will be filled wth funding the government before the new fiscal year on Oct. 1.

In an emotional acceptance speech, actor Ryan Gosling dedicated his Golden Globes win for best actor in a musical or comedy to his partner Eva Mendes’ brother, who died in the past year after a battle with cancer. 

Gosling, after making a crack about getting confused with fellow nominee Ryan Reynolds (nominated for "Deadpool"), thanked his "La La Land" costar Emma Stone and the film’s director Damien Chazelle.
