Sunday’s 78th Golden Globe Awards were broadcast in a bicoastal event, with Amy Poehler hosting from the ceremonies usual location at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, with Tina Fey hosting from Rockefeller Center’s Rainbow Room in New York City. The small audience was made up of essential workers while the nominees were all in their homes.
The presentation over all played out like an awkward Zoom call, with nominees in a group chat together, even after the winner was announced, meaning the losers had to fake being happy for the duration of the winner’s speech. Occasionally they would embrace the set up, such as Don Cheadle motioning to Jason Sudeikis to wrap up his speech after winning Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy for Ted Lasso.
Some highlights included Nomadland director and producer Chloé Zhao’s historic win as both Best Director and Best Motion Picture- Drama, becoming only the second woman and first woman of color to win best director, and an emotional acceptance speech from Taylor Simone Ledward, who accepted the award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama on behalf of her late husband Chadwick Boseman, who won for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.
