The Golden Globes are finally here, and with them a new batch of winners. 2021 brought a wide variety of controversy with the Globes, as expected. From a pre-recorded musical being nominated to an ableist film stealing the spotlight, with Jared Leto also somehow swooping in, this year’s ceremony is certainly one for the books. This is also the first major awards show to take place “virtually”, with hosts Amy Poehler and Tina Fey leading the night from two separate locations in Los Angeles and New York. The event will surely set a basis for other industry bodies (like SAG, Critics Choice, and finally, the Academy) and how they choose to celebrate this year’s films under the ongoing pandemic.
Unlike other award shows, the Globes divide their nominations for both Television and Film into Drama and Comedy. To make things easier, the winners below are listed by the greater category: Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, etc. – that way you can find them easier when scrolling. Television awards are separated below. Did your favorites win big at the 78th annual Golden Globes?
