Golden Globes 2019: Roma, Green Book, and Sandra Oh’s parents win big

The 76th Annual Golden Globe Awards took place on January 6th, and they were…strange. Hosted by Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg, the show offered plenty of surprises and cringe-worthy moments — after all, these are the Globes — but the evening was marked by a string of curious moments from Jeff Bridges’ (um, interesting?) speech to Timothee Chalamet’s sparkly harness.

Unsurprisingly, Dick Cheney biopic Vice only walked away with one award for Christian Bale’s leading role despite six nominations — more than any other film. On the more shocking side of things, dark comedy The Favourite missed out on the night’s biggest awards and only won a single trophy for Olivia Colman’s work in the film. Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody baffled (and terrified) everybody, winning Best Actor for Rami Malek and Best Motion Picture – Drama. The ceremony’s other big award — Best Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical — went to Green Book, which emerged as the night’s big winner with three awards.

Fan favourites A Star is Born and Black Panther suffered, only the former winning for Best Song for “Shallow”. While Lady Gaga was thought to be a lock for Best Actress, it was Glenn Close who came from left field to deservedly claim the title for her towering performance in The Wife. Many will attribute this to seniority, but make no mistake: Close earned her win.

As the Academy Awards draw nearer, all eyes are on Netflix’s Roma, which snagged two of its three nominations including Best Director for Alfonso Cuarón. This only gives Mexico’s Foreign Language Film entry more momentum going into the Oscars, but could it go all the way and make history as the first foreign Best Picture winner? Time will tell, but it has a good shot.

Of course, we cannot forget the night’s biggest winners. The Ohs not only watched their daughter make history as the first Asian woman to host the Golden Globes, but the Killing Eve Actress also won the globe for Best Actress in a Drama, making her the first Asian to win multiple awards (her first win being for Grey’s Anatomy 13 years ago). They were visibly proud. We were in tears.
