Emma Corrin, Daniel Kaluuya, John Boyega and Josh O’Connor were among the British names who were triumphant at the 78th Golden Globe Awards - which took place amid controversy over a lack of diversity among the show’s voters. Last night, the Hollywood awards season officially began with the virtual Golden Globes, hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler on opposite sides of America. The ceremony was delayed by a few weeks due to the on-going.
More like Golden Glitches.
Like everything else, the Golden Globes had to reimagine its proceedings Sunday because of the COVID-19 pandemic. There’s certainly no room for ballrooms and red carpets stuffed with celebrity actors, industry hotshots, and ravenous fashion photographers when an airborne virus is milling about. And like everything else college classes, doctor appointments, first dates, improv shows the resulting “coronavirus compromise” came out more than a little awkward. And we’re not even talking about the stiltedattempts at sketches.
At least hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, live on opposite coasts, poked fun at the circumstances early with a split-screen gag during their opening monologue.

The 78th Golden Globe Awards took place on Sunday (February 28) and saw Daniel Kaluuya pick up Best Supporting Actor for his role as Black Panther Party Chairman Fred Hampton in
Judas and the Black Messiah. During his acceptance speech, the British actor paid tribute to Nipsey Hussle by sharing a quote from the late Crenshaw rapper.
“Man, this took out of me,” he said. “I gave everything. Like the great Nipsey Hussle says, ‘We’re here to give ’til we’re empty,’ and I gave everything. And I couldn’t give it to a more noble man and that’s Chairman Fred Hampton. I hope generations after this can see how brilliant he thought, how brilliantly he spoke, and how brilliantly he loved. He taught me about myself and made me grow as a man, and I appreciate him with all my heart. There’s a lot of information about how he died, but I hope people out there will grow and learn about how incredibly he lived.”
The 2021 Golden Globes honored Chadwick Boseman, Daniel Kaluuya Andra Day, and John Boyega for their acting performances during the virtual awards ceremony.
