2018 - Awards Season: Golden Globes - Winners

January 7, 2019

The Golden Globes were the first major Awards Season ceremony this year handing out the hardware on Sunday night. Are last night’s events a strong indicator for the Oscars? I hope not! Certainly not in all categories, as there were some puzzling results last night.

The categories and winners are...

BEST MOTION PICTURE - DRAMA

• Bohemian Rhapsody

• Green Book

• Alfonso Cuarón for Roma

• Brian Currie, Peter Farrelly, and Nick Vallelonga, for Green Book

• Glenn Close for The Wife

• Rami Malek for Bohemian Rhapsody

• Christian Bale for Vice

• Olivia Colman for The Favourite

• Regina King for If Beale Street Could Talk

• Mahershala Ali for Green Book

• Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

• Roma (Mexico)

• Justin Hurwitz for First Man

• “Shallow” from A Star Is Born

• Bohemian Rhapsody was easily the weakest of the ten Best Drama / Best Comedy or Musical nominees, but it won the most prestigious award of the night.
• Green Book was the most obvious choice for Best Comedy / Musical, but not the right choice. Also, winning Best Screenplay is even worse, due to the changes to the real life events depicted in the movie.
• I can’t complain about Alfonso Cuarón winning Best Director for Roma, but I was rooting for Spike Lee. Roma also won for Best Foreign-Language Film, which is no surprise.
• I disagree with every Actor award and agree with every Actress award. I’m most excited about Glenn Close winning for The Wife and I hope this is a sign she will finally win an Oscar.
• Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse won Best Animated Feature. Some are calling it the best Super Hero movie of all time, so this is a deserved win.
