As the ongoing Covid-19 crisis continues to put a stop to things, this year\u2019s Golden Globe Awards continued virtually.<\/p>\n

The 78th annual awards show aired live Feb. 28 on NBC and was hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. This year\u2019s show served as the first bi-coastal ceremony due to Covid-19 restrictions. Fey hosted from The Rainbow Room in New York City and Poehler hosted from The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Cali.<\/p>\n

Highlights and special moments from the show include Daniel Kaluuya winning Best Supporting Actor in a motion picture for his role in \u201cJudas and The Black Messiah.\u201d Kaluuya delivered the first half of his speech muted.<\/p>\n

Chloe Zhao, the director behind the film \u201cNomadland,\u201d became the first woman to win the best director award since Barbara Streisand won an award for \u201cYentl\u201d in 1984.<\/p>\n

Netflix was the biggest winner with the streaming service winning 10 total awards during the telecast. This included awards for \u201cI Care A Lot\u201d, \u201cSchitt\u2019s Creek\u201d, \u201cQueen\u2019s Gambit\u201d and \u201cThe Crown\u201d.<\/p>\n

Disney<\/a> had the second-most awards with five. Disney\u00a0 took home prizes for Pixar\u2019s, \u201cSoul,\u201d Searchlight\u2019s \u201cNomadland\u201d and Hulu\u2019s \u201cThe United States vs. Billie Holliday.\u201d<\/p>\n

The late Chadwick Boseman was also honored with the Best Actor in a Drama award for his work in \u201cMa Rainey\u2019s Black Bottom.\u201d His wife, Taylor Simone Ledward, graciously accepted the award on his behalf.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cHe would thank God,\u201d Ledward said through tears. \u201cHe would thank his parents. He would thank his ancestors for their guidance and their sacrifices.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe would say something beautiful, something inspiring, something that would amplify that little voice inside of all of us that tells you, \u2018you can,\u2019 that tells you to keep going, that calls you back to what you are meant to be doing in this moment in history.\u201d\u201cI don\u2019t have his words. But we have to take all the moments to celebrate those we love.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

There was quite a bit of controversy and backlash this year and the show received mixed reviews. James Corden\u2019s nomination for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for his role in \u201cThe Prom\u201d has been questioned due to the fact that Corden played a gay male when he is not a member of the LGBTQ+ community.<\/p>\n

The nominations acquired for the movie \u201cMusic\u201d also faced criticism because the main actress Maddie Ziegler plays a nonverbal autistic character when she is fully functioning and not autistic at all.<\/p>\n

The recent revelation that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association did not have any Black voters was also a point of controversy during and after the broadcast.<\/p>\n

The HFPA used the show to issue a statement about its plans and intentions to include more Black journalists and other minority reporters in its organization in the future.<\/p>\n

The majority of the winners used their acceptance speeches as a time to call for diversity and inclusivity in the industry and its counterparts.<\/p>\n

As we continue to navigate this virus country, viewers can expect many more award shows to take a virtual approach as well. The Critics\u2019 Choice Awards is the next award show scheduled to air nationally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
