The 76th Golden Globe Awards witnessed all the diverse men and women take home trophies in a proud evening which turned slightly surprising when Bohemian Rhapsody and its lead star Rami Malek were declared as the Best Motion Picture (Drama) and the Best Actor, respectively. The biographical film about the British rock band Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody, beat out Black Panther, BlacKkKlansman, If Beale Street Could Talk and the hot favourite A Star Is Born.
Glenn Close picked up the Best Actress award in a motion picture for The Wife. While Alfonso Cuaron claimed a well-deserved win for his critically-acclaimed film Roma. Based on Cuaron’s own upbringing in 1970s Mexico City, Roma stars Yalitza Aparicio as a domestic worker named Cleo who lives with her employer’s family. Christian Bale was named the Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy– for his brilliant portrayal of Dick Cheney in Vice. Rachel Brosnahan accepted the award for best performance by an actress in a television series, comedy or musical, for Amazon’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Lady Gaga, who was also nominated in the Best Actress (Drama) category, Mark Ronson and the other songwriters of Shallow from A Star Is Born collected the Golden Globe for Best Song. Jeff Bridges was honoured with the prestigious Cecil B deMille award.
