Sam Mendes’ single-take war film “1917” took home the top-tier prizes at the 77th annual Golden Globe Awards, picking up trophies for Best Director and Best Motion Picture Drama.
Hollywood’s booziest, most unpredictable and downright frustrating awards show kicked off Sunday night at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, where Ricky Gervais returned to host for the fifth time at the ceremony honoring the best in film and television over the past year.
Despite Netflix making history with a towering 34 nominations, the streaming service failed to gain much traction at the ceremony. Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman,” the Eddie Murphy comeback vehicle “Dolemite Is My Name,” the Vatican-set “The Two Popes” and Noah Baumbach’s gripping “Marriage Story” were almost completely shut out ― save for Laura Dern’s Best Supporting Actress win for “Marriage.”
Instead, Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” nearly dominated the comedy categories, scoring awards for Best Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy, Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor for Brad Pitt.
“Joker” also had a relatively strong showing, setting the record for most wins by a comic book movie with Joaquin Phoenix nabbing the Best Actor in a Drama trophy.
And despite some underwhelming snubs ― most notably the absence of any female directors ― the show broke down some barriers, with Awkwafina becoming the first actor of Asian descent to win the Globe for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and Bong Joon Ho’s “Parasite” making history as the first Korean film winner in the Best Foreign Film category.
In the television arena, HBO’s “Succession” took home multiple awards with wins for drama series and lead actor Brian Cox, while Amazon’s “Fleabag” dominated in the comedy categories.
