The 78th annual Golden Globe Awards were over the weekend on Sunday, February 28th. The award ceremony featured many renowned actors, actresses, and films.

Despite the plight of the global pandemic, some films were still able to be produced and premiered in 2020. Here is a recap of the most notable award winners and nominees.

The Crown led the way, nominated for 6 awards: best drama TV series, best actress in a drama TV series (2 nominees from for this award), best actor in a drama TV series, and best supporting actress in a series (2 nominees as well). The Crown was able to pick up 4 awards from those nominations: best actress in a drama TV series – Emma Corrin, best actor in a drama TV series – Josh O’Connor, best supporting actress in a series – Gillian Anderson, and best drama TV series.

Best drama motion picture featured nominations from Nomadland, Mank, Promising Young Woman, The Father, and The Trial of the Chicago 7. The indie film Nomadland took top prize for this award – the first ever film to do so that was directed by a female.  Nomadland also won for best director as Chloe Zhao made history as only the second female to ever win the award.   Besides gaining critical acclaim, the movie has also accumulated a 95% rotten tomato score.

Another notable award is the best animated feature film award. This award featured nominations from Soul, Wolfwalkers, Onward, The Croods: A New Age, and Over the Moon. Pixar’s Soul took the award for best animated feature film.

The annual Golden Globe Awards were hosted again by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler – despite being on opposite coasts. Fey was in New York City while Poehler was in L.A. – making for a very unusual but memorable evening.
