The 78th Golden Globe Awards took place nearly two months later than normal, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cinema and television.
This was the first bi-coastal ceremony, with Tina Fey hosting from the Rainbow Room in New York City, and Amy Poehler hosting from The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California.
Netflix’s period drama series ‘The Crown’ claimed the most honours at the ceremony with bagging the Golden Globe for best TV drama, in addition to giving leads Emma Corrin and Josh O’Connor, who play Princess Diana and Prince Charles respectively, their first Globes. ‘The Crown’s’ Gillian Anderson also won for supporting actor in a TV series.
Meanwhile, ‘Schitt’s Creek’ nabbed two Globes, for best comedy and for actor Catherine O’Hara and Netflix’s ‘The Queen’s Gambit’ won for limited series and for actor Anya Taylor-Joy, reported Variety.
Several films nabbed two honours: Chloe Zhao’s ‘Nomadland’ claimed wins for best drama and for the director, Amazon’s ‘Borat Subsequent Moviefilm’ won the best comedy and for actor Sacha Baron Cohen, while Pixar’s ‘Soul’ won animated movie and original score.
Other big winners include Andra Day for actor in a movie drama for ‘The United States vs. Billie Holiday’ and late star Chadwick Boseman for the actor in the same category for ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’. Daniel Kaluuya, John Boyega, Jodie Foster, Rosamund Pike, Jason Sudeikis, and Mark Ruffalo also took home acting trophies.
