The ‘Three Billboards’ love was strong.
The 75th Annual Golden Globes happened last night, and so kicked off televised awards season good and proper. We had our own favorites, although it seems like in typical Globes fashion, nothing went quite as we hoped.
The ceremony itself was largely preempted by the #MeToo movement, and a ton of celebrities turned up in black in support of the cause. But more important than wardrobe choice is the actual tone set by the list of Globes winners. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri won big in the film category, much to the chagrin of many. Sam Rockwell‘s win over Willem Dafoe for Best Supporting Actor caused a fair bit of an uproar online. Three Billboards winning Best Drama over The Shape of Water was another less-than-stellar surprise, especially after Guillermo del Toro‘s Best Director win.
Furthermore, on the subject of Best Director, one of the Globes’ more paradoxical moments — considering how many people ostensibly turned up in support of women this year — was not actually nominating Greta Gerwig for Best Director yet awarding her movie, Lady Bird, with Best Comedy/Musical. We were rooting for Three Billboards‘ Frances McDormand for Best Actress (Drama) and at least that came to fruition, although Timothée Chalamet did lose out to expected favorite Gary Oldman, for Darkest Hour. In fact, Call Me By Your Name was deeply snubbed in general, taking home no awards. Get Out, including Daniel Kaluuya’s fantastic performance, was not at all honored either. The Globes were off to a very white start when nominations were announced, but now it’s absolutely confirmed with these wins.
The TV category was predictably Big Little Lies central, with Nicole Kidman, Laura Dern, and Alexander Skarsgård receiving acting accolades and the show itself winning Best Miniseries. The Handmaid’s Tale and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel proved the power of women-led shows. Sterling K. Brown felt like a shoo-in for Best Actor in a Drama, while Aziz Ansari‘s Best Actor in a Comedy win was more of a surprise, generally because Master of None has won minimally at awards shows in the past (Ansari did not even win Best Actor at the Emmys last year).
Finally, while this is neither a snub nor surprise, as Oprah Winfrey‘s Cecile B. DeMille Award was announced ahead of the ceremony as always, the following tweet certainly sums up the right feelings about the entire situation:
