Golden Globe Recap & Where to Watch Winning Shows & Movies

By San Diego Entertainer | March 1, 2021

The Golden Globes aired last night, nearly two months later than usual, with programming that was quite different than the typical fanfare. Roles were reversed for the stars of the popular films who watched (and accepted awards) from the comfort of their own homes. The in-person audience was made of first responders. Amy Poehler and Tina Fe returned as hosts, but led the program from different cities.

Big winners for the night were “Nomadland” which won the award for best drama and best director (Chloé Zhao) and “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” won best comedy. San Diego actor Andra Day won best actress in a drama for “The United States vs. Billie Holiday” and Chadwick Boseman received the award for best actor in a drama for “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.”

Jane Fonda received the Cecil B. DeMille Award and proved, once again, that the woman doesn’t age.

Norman Lear  received the Carol Burnett Award.  

Netflix’s “Mank” received six nominations, the most of any film. Netflix’s “The Crown” received six nominations, the most for any television series. “The Crown” also won for best drama, best actress, best actor and best supporting actress.
