Golden Globes 2021: The Crown and Nomadland Triumph Amid Controversy
The 2021 Golden Globes ceremony, held virtually due to the pandemic, saw major wins for Netflix's The Crown and Chloé Zhao's Nomadland. The event was co-hosted by Tina Fey from Los Angeles and Amy Poehler from New York. However, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association faced accusations of corruption and lack of diversity, sparking the #timesupglobes hashtag. Despite the controversy, the ceremony highlighted female achievements, with three women nominated for Best Director. Key winners included Chadwick Boseman (Best Actor in a Drama), Rosamund Pike (Best Actress in a Comedy), and Soul (Best Animated Film). In television, The Crown won Best Drama Series, and Schitt's Creek took Best Comedy Series. The awards are seen as a bellwether for the upcoming Oscars.
