The 76th annual Golden Globes took place on Sunday evening and it was the Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody and the fact-based comedy Green Book which scored the top accolades at the prestigious ceremony.
The Golden Globes is always the big one that really kicks off the award season, which was held at the Beverly Hilton and hosted by Andy Samberg and Sandra Oh.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s honoured BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY Best Film Drama and best drama actor for its star Rami Malek, who played the late frontman, Freddie Mercury.
GREEN BOOK was the night’s other big film winner, bagging three awards for Best Musical or Comedy Film, Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor for Mahershala Ali.
It was Glenn Close who won the Best Drama Actress for her role in The Wife after beating tough competition from the likes of Lady Gaga who had been hotly tipped to win for her role in A STAR IS BORN. However, she did walk away with a gong for the song ‘Shallow’ from the movie.
Alfonso Cuarón’s ROMA was awarded best foreign language film, which is a big win for the streaming service, Netflix.
It was a fantastic evening for British talent, with the stars of THE FAVOURITE, VICE, THE BODYGUARD, and A VERY ENGLISH SCANDAL also winning in their respective categories.
Olivia Colman, who won Best Actress (comedy or musical) for her portrayal of Queen Anne in The Favourite and Christian Bale was celebrated for his performance as former vice president Dick Cheney – which scooped him Best Actor (comedy or musical).
