The Winners of the 78th Annual Golden Globe Awards

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has just finished announcing their annual Golden Globe Awards, and while the final result sadly wasn't particularly surprising, there were a few shockers elsewhere. As expected, "Nomadland" was the big winner of the night, taking Best Motion Picture (Drama) and Best Director (Chloe Zhao). Meanwhile, over on the Comedy/Musical side, they decided to embarrass themselves by giving Best Motion Picture to "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm" (and Sacha Baron Cohen Best Actor), marking what could easily be called the worst winner the category has ever had.

While it was assumed that Best Actress (Drama) was between Frances McDormand ("Nomadland") and Carey Mulligan ("Promising Young Woman"), it was Andra Day who garnered the award for the much-maligned "The United States vs. Billie Holliday". Another surprise came in Supporting Actress where Jodie Foster came out of nowhere to win for "The Mauritanian".

In television, the marvelous fourth season of "The Crown" was the big winner of the evening, sweeping all four Drama categories it was up for: Best TV Series, Best Actress (Emma Corrin), Best Actor (Josh O'Connor), and Best Supporting Actress (Gillian Anderson). Meanwhile, "Schitt's Creek" took Best TV Series (Comedy/Musical) and Best Actress (Comedy/Musical) for Catherine O'Hara, and "The Queen's Gambit" won Best TV Limited Series and Best Actress (Limited Series) for Taylor Anya-Joy.

The next major event on the calendar are the Critics' Choice Awards on March 7th (Gee, I wonder what will happen there...), so be sure to check back for a list of winners.
