After the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has been roundly (and rightly) criticized for snubbing women filmmakers for year after year in the Best Director category, Chinese helmer Chloé Zhao won the Director prize for her riveting and raw Nomadland, a film which blends documentary filmmaking with narrative; Daniel Kaluuya was able to (eventually) speak about the glories of Fred Hampton to a global audience after winning Best Supporting Actor with his role in Judas and the Black Messiah; Borat 2 is now a “Best Picture” winner (read that sentence back and let it sink in); and while The Crown again dominated the television Drama categories, audience favorite The Queen’s Gambit picked up the Globes for Best Limited Series or Made for Television Film and Anya Taylor-Joy won for playing Beth Harmon. Perhaps the most memorable element of the night though is the incredibly moving speech by Taylor Simone Ledward, who accepted on behalf of her late husband Chadwick Boseman. The Black Panther star won a posthumous Best Actor – Drama prize for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, and his wife’s comments celebrate a remarkable talent, and man, who was lost too soon.
