The Golden Globe 2021 was a special edition. The prizes were awarded in hybrid mode, between stages and virtual connections, on the night of February 28th. Chloe Zhao made history by earning the Best Director Award for Nomadland (which also won Best Drama). She is only the second woman to get such an award after Barbra Streisand’s 1984 victory for Yentl. “Sometimes, it seems like it takes a lifetime. I am sure that many before me would have deserved this award “, commented the director. However, on the comedy front, the sequel to Borat has obtained two victories: best comic film and the other to its creator Sasha Baron Cohen for best actor.
A call for diversity also came from Jane Fonda, who was awarded the Golden Globe for her career. The actress invited “everyone, even the groups that decide who is hired and what is produced and who wins the prizes” to “give more space” to the most diverse voices. As for the series, many wins for The Crown. He takes home four statuettes, including the best drama series; Schitt’s Creek is confirmed as the best comedy series; The chess queen, Best Miniseries and Best Actress starring Anya Tayor-Joy. All-Italian satisfaction for Laura Pausini, who won the best song with Io Sì (Seen) from the film with Sophia Loren Life in front of her: “I dedicate this award to all those who want and deserve to be ‘seen“, said the singer.
But not everything went well. In the run-up to the evening, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association that organizes the Globes was targeted. Reason? There are no African-American journalists to choose nominations and awards. Although it must be said, Globe 2021’s Palmares seem heavily influenced by Hollywood’s new course of gender, racial, and ethnic equality.
