Borat Subsequent Moviefilm and Nomadland were the big winners of the 78th Golden Globe Awards. 


The ceremony was held virtually, and the live audience consisted of frontline workers and first responders of the Covid-19 pandemic. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler returned to hosting duties this year, but they were in New York and Los Angeles respectively, marking the first time the Golden Globes have been bicoastal.


Nomadland director Chloé Zha is only the second female winner in the Best Director category.

The Best Drama Film went to Nomadland, starring Frances McDormand as a homeless woman travelling through the American West. Schitt’s Creek was named Best Comedy series. Catherine O’Hara, who plays the role of Moira Rose in the show, was feted with Best Comedy — Actress honour.

The Best Director award went to Nomadland maker Chloe Zhao, who became the second female winner of the category in Globes history, after Barbara Streisand in 1983, as per reports. “I fell in love with making movies and telling stories because it gave us a chance to laugh and cry together, to learn from each other, and to have more compassion for each other,” she said.

The Crown won four honours including Best Drama Series. Josh O’Connor and Emma Corrin both won for their performances as Prince Charles and Princess Diana respectively. Corrin said: “Most of all, thank you so much to [Princess] Diana, you have taught me compassion and empathy beyond any measure I could ever imagine.”

Late star Chadwick Boseman was posthumously named Best Actor In A Drama Film for his performance in Ma Rainy’s Black Bottom. His wife, Taylor Simone Ledward, accepted the award on his behalf. Boseman passed away last summer after quietly battling colon cancer.

Other winners included Mark Ruffalo for Best Actor In A Limited Series, and Pixar’s Soul, which won best animated film.

Aaron Sorkin paid tribute to the three women who were nominated for Best Director as he accepted Best Screenplay for The Trial of the Chicago 7. “You are the reason my college-age daughter wants to be a filmmaker, and I’m never going to forgive you for that,” he said. Veteran actor and activist Jane Fonda was feted with the Cecil B DeMille Award for lifetime achievement and used her acceptance speech to call for greater diversity in the industry.

The winners were voted for by 87 members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), a group of international journalists based in California. According to an investigation, the HFPA had no black members. Representatives said that they planned to address the issue.

The Winners are

. Best Screenplay, Motion Picture: Aaron Sorkin, The Trial of the Chicago 7
. Best Original Score, Motion Picture: Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and Jon Batiste, Soul
. Best Original Song, Motion Picture: Io Sì (Seen), The Life Ahead
. Best Motion Picture, Animated: Soul
