Golden Globes 2021 Winners List: Chadwick Boseman, Jane Fonda, Emma Corrin, Catherine O’Hara, Mark Ruffalo, Chloe Zhao, and Andra Day among others swept the major trophies at the 78th Golden Globes Awards. The Golden Globe Awards 2021 took place nearly two months later than normal, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cinema and television. This was the first bi-coastal ceremony, with Tina Fey hosting from the Rainbow Room in New York City, and Amy Poehler hosting from The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. The nominees for Golden Globes were announced on February 3.
Jane Fonda winning the Cecil B DeMille Award
At the awards ceremony this year, American actor Jane Fonda received the prestigious Cecil B. DeMille Award. According to Variety, the honour recognises Fonda’s illustrious career in film, one that saw her top the box office and cement her name in movie history by starring in classics such as Klute, The China Syndrome, and 9 to 5.
More recently, Fonda appeared in the Netflix series Grace and Frankie as well as in Book Club and Youth. The 83-year-old star’s other films include The Electric Horseman, Barefoot in the Park, Coming Home, and Julia. One of her biggest commercial successes was the 1982 release of her first exercise video, Jane Fonda’s Workout, which went on to sell 17 million copies and spawned several follow-ups.
Fonda has been equally well known for her political stances – protesting the Vietnam War, campaigning for civil rights, and advocating for feminist causes. Currently, Fonda is leading Fire Drill Fridays as part of a national movement to raise awareness about the climate crisis.
The Cecil B. DeMille Award is the highest honour given out by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the organisation behind the Globes. Past recipients include Robert De Niro, Sophia Loren, Sean Connery, Oprah Winfrey, Martin Scorsese, Jodie Foster, Steven Spielberg, and Meryl Streep. Last year’s honouree was Tom Hanks. A 15-time nominee, Fonda has been awarded Golden Globes for seven-times.
The Queen’s Gambit bags two awards at Golden Globes 2021
The Popular Netflix series The Queen’s Gambit took home two awards at this year’s Golden Globes. The show was named the best television limited series and its lead actor Anya Taylor-Joy won a Golden Globe for her powerful performance as an orphan-turned-chess prodigy. Taylor-Joy played the role of Beth Harmon in the seven-part series which follows her meteoric rise through the chess world in the 1950s and ’60s America as she becomes one of the fiercest players in the game.
Taylor-Joy was up against fellow nominees Cate Blanchett for Mrs. America, Daisy Edgar-Jones for Normal People, Shira Haas for Unorthodox and Nicole Kidman for The Undoing. Accepting the award, Taylor-Joy said, “I would love to thank Netflix and the HFPA [Hollywood Foreign Press Association] of course. Thank you for letting us make this show that we wanted to make. Our beautiful cast, our beautiful crew thank you so much. It’s wonderful that everyone’s seen the show but I would do this project again and again and again, I learnt so much, I’m so grateful. Thank you to the audiences that have watched it.”
Minari wins Best Motion Picture- Foreign Language
American drama film Minari bagged the Golden Globe 2021 award in the Best Motion Picture- Foreign Language category. Minari has been directed by Lee Isaac Chung and it stars Steven Yeun, Han Ye-ri, Alan Kim, Noel Kate Cho, Youn Yuh-Jung, and Will Patton.
The film is a semi-autobiographical take on Chung’s upbringing and the plot follows a family of South Korean immigrants who try to make it in rural America during the 1980s. Minari had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 26, 2020, winning both the US Dramatic Grand Jury Prize and the US Dramatic Audience Award. It also received 3 Screen Actors Guild Award nominations and 10 Critics’ Choice Movie Awards nominations. The film also received six Independent Spirit Award nominations.
Norman Lear receives Carol Burnett Award
American television writer-producer Norman Lear was awarded the Carol Burnett Award during the Golden Globes 2021 ceremony. Lear has developed many 1970s sitcoms such as All in the Family, Sanford and Son, One Day at a Time and its 2017 remake, The Jeffersons, Good Times, and Maude.
Lear is also a political activist and he was a silent partner of The Nation magazine and founded the advocacy organization People for the American Way in 1980 to counter the Christian right in politics. He has also supported First Amendment rights. In 2019, Lear had made history by becoming the oldest Emmy winner at the age of 97. He broke Sir David Attenborough’s record who received the prestigious award at the age of 93, reported The Hollywood Reporter.
The Carol Burnett Award is given away every year at the Golden Globes by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) for “outstanding contributions to television on or off the screen.”
