The 78th Golden Globe Awards kicked off February 28, 2021 night after being delayed for nearly two months by the coronavirus pandemic. Amy Poehler and Tina Fey hosted the bicoastal virtual ceremony, with Fey presenting from the Rainbow Room in New York City and Poehler hosting from The Beverly Hilton in California, where the awards ceremony is traditionally held. Streaming services dominated the Golden Globe Awards ceremony. Four categories were taken by Netflix’s “The Crown.” The top film categories were taken by Hulu’s “Nomadland” who won the award for best drama film and “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” on Amazon Prime won best comedy film.
Andra Day won best actress in a drama for “The United States vs. Billie Holiday” and Chadwick Boseman posthumously received the award for best actor in a drama for what became his final movie role in “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. Chloé Zhao, who helmed “Nomadland,” became only the second woman ever to win best director. Jane Fonda received the Cecil B. DeMille Award and Norman Lear became the third ever recipient of the Carol Burnett Award.
