The 77th Golden Globe Awards by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association was recently held at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California last January 5, 2020 is the first of the many others in this awards season leading to the Oscars night on February 9th. Upcoming are Critic’s Choice Awards and Screen Actor’s Guild and so on.
As expected Joaquin Phoenix won as Best Actor in a Movie Drama for his remarkable portrayal in “Joker”, while Sam Mendes took home Best Director for war movie “1917” and we are glad Renee Zellweger’s efforts were hailed as Best Actress in the film “Judy”. Best Picture for Drama was bagged by “1917” which won over heavy favorites “The Irishman”, “Joker” and “The Marriage Story”.
Awkwafina made history as the first Asian to win Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her remarkable portrayal in “The Farewell”. And as a back-2-back Asian win, South Korea’s “Parasite” bagged the Best Motion Picture in a Foreign Language category with film maker Bong Joon-ho accepting his first Golden Globe trophy.
Ellen DeGeneres was cited for her Excellence in Television through the Carol Burnett Award and hailed the power of television in order to motivate and inspire others to be good and kind.
Tom Hanks is finally given a Lifetime Achievement citation courtesy of the prestigious Cecil B DeMille Award which recognized his years of award-winning acting and all out passion for the film industry being a director and producer on top of being an ace actor. His warm acceptance speech was genuinely moving and delivered despite a bad cold. True PRO!
Congratulations to all nominees and winners. You all ROCK!
