Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, Nomadland, The Crown, and The Queen’s Gambit were among the big winners of the 78th Golden Globe Awards ceremony that was held virtually on March 1.
Late star Chadwick Boseman too was awarded posthumously for his role in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom while veteran Jane Fonda was given the lifetime achievement award: the Cecil B. DeMille Award for her contribution to arts and cinema.
The event was conducted virtually and the live audience consisted of frontline workers who helped during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Golden Globe Award ceremony was hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, who were in New York and Los Angeles respectively. This is the first time the Golden Globe Awards was hosted in a bicoastal manner.
The best drama film went to Nomadland starring Frances McDormand as a homeless woman travelling through the American West.
Schitt's Creek was named the Best Comedy series. Actress Catherine O’Hara, who plays the role of Moira Rose in the show, was given the honour of Best Actress - Musical or Comedy.
The best director award went to Chloe Zhao, who became the second female winner of the category in Globes history, after Barbara Streisand in 1983, according to media reports.
Zhao said, “Thank you everyone who made it possible to do what I love. 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.”
