The Winners of the 77th Annual Golden Globe Awards
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has just finished handing out the annual Golden Globes, and as usual, there were plenty of surprises to be found, starting with the big winner of the evening being Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" with three awards: Best Motion Picture (Musical/Comedy), Best Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor (Brad Pitt).
On the drama side, the big shocker was seeing Sam Mendes' tremendous war film "1917" win both Best Motion Picture and Best Director, beating out favorites "Marriage Story" and "The Irishman," as well as Bong Joon Ho, respectively.
There were several unfortunate choices made throughout the evening, including having to watch Quentin Tarantino win Best Screenplay for his meandering opus over Noah Baumbach's brilliant script for "Marriage Story," while it was also unfortunate to see Adam Driver get robbed for his outstanding performance in the same film. However, these mistakes will no doubt be corrected later on by the guilds and the Academy.
Overall, it was a very mixed evening, as it often is, but a lot of great things happened, so as always, it's best to look on the bright side and hope everything works out in the end. Coming up tomorrow, we have the Writers Guild of America nominations, followed by the BAFTA, Producers Guild, and Director Guild nominations on Tuesday, so be sure to check back to see if your favorites get nominated.
