BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - World War One movie “1917” and “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” set in 1960s Tinseltown, won the top movie prizes at the Golden Globes on Sunday on a night packed with upsets and hot-button issues at the start of Hollywood’s awards season.
Netflix took home just one Golden Globe in the movie race, for Laura Dern’s supporting role as a ruthless divorce lawyer in “Marriage Story.” Joaquin Phoenix, who played a terrifying “Joker,” and Renee Zellweger, who portrayed Judy Garland in “Judy,” took the drama movie actor honors. Taron Egerton and Awkwafina were first-time winners in the comedy/musical field.
British comedian and actor Ricky Gervais, hosting the awards ceremony for a fifth time, threw caution to the wind with expletives and jabs about the dominance of streaming platforms, diversity and Hollywood’s sexual misconduct scandal, which drew mostly nervous laughter in the room of A-list celebrities.
rickygervais is the realDonaldTrump of Hollywood.
Give Gervais an award please. Breath of fresh air the truth ........ GoldenGlobes
