The Golden Globes have ushered in the beginning of a new awards-show season, with feature films including Bohemian Rhapsody, Green Book, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and Roma winning top prizes.
This year’s award show felt a little off pacing-wise, but there weren’t too many surprising wins or losses. Bohemian Rhapsody won top prizes, including Best Picture — Drama and Best Actor — Motion Picture, Drama for star Rami Malex. Alfonso Cuaron took home Best Director — Motion Picture for his work on Netflix’s Roma, Christian Bale won for Best Actor — Motion Picture, Drama, for his work in Vice. One of the few surprising awards for the evening went to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which won for Best Animated Feature. The other surprise was Glenn Close winning the award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama for her work in The Wife instead of the favored Lady Gaga for A Star is Born.
Winners and losses aside, the 2019 Golden Globes were a big moment for superhero movies and Hollywood celebrating diversity. Black Panther, Marvel’s first cinematic installment with a black actor in the lead role, earned a nomination for Best Picture, reigniting a conversation about superhero films as potential awards-show contenders in major categories. Crazy Rich Asians, the comedy that drew praise for its Asian-centric cast, also earned a nomination for Best Picture in the musical and comedy category. Although both lost, co-host Sandra Oh started off the evening by calling attention to the level of diversity at this year’s awards.
The Golden Globes doesn’t just honor films, though. Television series like The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Bodyguard, Killing Eve, and The Assassination of Gianni Versace all received nominations. Darren Criss won Best Actor in a Limited Series or TV Movie for his celebrated work in The Assassination of Gianni Versace, and The Americans won Best TV Drama for its final season.
