Check Out Who Won This Year’s Golden Globes

Another year, another Golden Globes. This time, things were not only physically distanced, but a little awkward.

According to co-host Amy Poehler, “a lot of flashy garbage got nominated” at this year’s Golden Globes.

Poehler and Tina Fey opened up the “78th annual Hunger Games Golden Globes” and weren’t kind in their critique.

This followed on from reports addressing the lack of inclusivity in film and television award shows. For example, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has no Black voting members.

Another example, Emily in Paris, which would have been just as successful on a Disney kids’ channel as it was on Netflix (popular for reasons that will forever remain a mystery), was nominated for two awards. 

Why?

Anyway, you’re here to find out who won, but let’s kick things off with Poehler and Fey’s no-holds-barred opening monologue before we go through that list:

Sacha Baron Cohen was nominated a few times, not only for Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, which took home two Globes, but also The Trial of the Chicago 7.

He gave two excellent and hilarious acceptance speeches, but the one going after Rudi Guiliani is by far the most entertaining.

I’ll leave you to have a chuckle at that:
