Golden Globes 2021: Nomadland announced Best Drama; Chadwick Boseman wins posthumous Best Actor award

With homebound nominees appearing by remote video and hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler on different sides of the country, a very socially distanced 78th Golden Globe Awards trudged on in the midst of the pandemic and a storm of criticism.

Fey took the stage at New York’s Rainbow Room while Poehler remained at the Globes’ usual home at the Beverly Hilton. In their opening remarks, they managed their typically well-timed back-and-forth despite being almost 3,000 miles from each other. “I always knew my career would end with me wandering around the Rainbow Room pretending to talk to Amy,” said Fey. “I just thought it would be later.” They appeared before masked attendees but no stars. Instead, the sparse tables — where Hollywood royalty are usually crammed together and plied with alcohol during the show — were occupied by “smoking-hot first responders and essential workers,” as Fey said. Schitt’s Creek, which had gone unnominated in the top category every previous season at the Globes, won best comedy series for its final season. The show’s Catherine O’Hara also took best actress in a comedy series. They were among many of the evening’s awards to go to streaming services, which — facing scant traditional studio competition — dominated the Globes like never before. Here is the winner’s list: Best TV Series – Musical/Comedy Schitt’s Creek Best Actress in a Limited Series Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen’s Gambit) Best Actor in a Drama Chadwick Boseman (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom) Best Actress in a TV Drama Emma Corrin (The Crown) Best Actor in a TV Drama Josh O’Connor (The Crown) Best Director Chloé Zhao, Nomadland Best Drama Nomadland Best Limited Series or TV Film The Queen’s Gambit Best Musical or Comedy Borat Subsequent Moviefilm Actress in a Drama Andra Day (The United States vs Billie Holiday) Actress in a Musical or Comedy Rosamund Pike (I Care a Lot) Actor in a TV Musical or Comedy Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat Subsequent Moviefilm) Actor in a Limited Series or TV Film Mark Ruffalo (I Know This Much Is True) Actress in a TV Musical or Comedy Catherine O’Hara (Schitt’s Creek) Supporting Film Actor Daniel Kaluuya (Judas and the Black Messiah) Supporting Film Actress Jodie Foster (The Mauritanian) Supporting TV Actor John Boyega (Small Axe) Best TV Drama The Crown Best Foreign Language Film Minari Actor in TV Musical or Comedy Jason Sudeikis (Ted Lasso) Original Score Soul Original Song Io Si’ from The Life Ahead Supporting TV Actress Gillian Anderson (The Crown) Best Animated Film Soul Best Screenplay The Trial of the Chicago 7 (With inputs from The Associated Press)
