2020 - Awards Season: Golden Globes Winners

January 6, 2020

The Golden Globes winners were announced on Sunday and we have some interesting developments for the rest of Awards Season. 1917 wasn’t considered a front-runner with five films earning more nominations. However, after this result, it might be the front-runner to become the big winner on Oscar night.

The categories and winners are...

• 1917

BEST MOTION PICTURE - COMEDY OR MUSICAL

• Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood

BEST DIRECTOR

• Sam Mendes for 1917

Notes and Reactions...

• Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood earned three wins, which is more than any other movie. However, 1917’s two wins were a lot more prestigious and I would consider it the big winner of the night.
• Joker and Rocketman also both earned two wins, but again, their wins came in less prestigious categories.
• Missing Link won for Best Animated film... Wow. I was not expecting that. I’m not upset with this win, but it was by far the smallest film nominated, so I thought not enough voters would have seen it enough to win.
• Renée Zellweger won for Judy. Give her the damn Oscar already.
