What was once Hollywood’s glitziest awards show is now a glorified Twitter thread ― and a chaotic one, at that. Even if you planned on watching this year’s Golden Globes ― the precipitous drop in ratings over the past decade might suggest otherwise ― you couldn’t. After a scandal and COVID-plagued year, the 79th annual ceremony wasn’t televised or livestreamed on Sunday night. There was no red carpet, host, A-list presenter or even a single celebrity in sight. Instead, winners were announced on social media throughout the evening, as the event thrown by the beleaguered Hollywood Foreign Press Association dispensed with the trappings of a traditional awards show altogether. Organizers said the recent COVID-19 surge was behind the significantly scaled-down ceremony, which was held as a private, press-free event at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles with only HFPA members in attendance.
The nominees were at least slightly more representative than usual with three Black actors ― Will Smith (“King Richard”), Denzel Washington (“The Tragedy of Macbeth”) and Mahershala Ali (“Swan Song”) ― dominating the Best Actor category. Meanwhile, Jane Campion (“The Power of the Dog”) and Maggie Gyllenhaal (“The Lost Daughter”) provided strong competition in the typically male-dominated Best Director field. Ultimately, Campion’s “The Power of the Dog” prevailed, collecting major wins, including Best Drama, Best Director and Best Supporting Actor for Kodi Smit-McPhee. Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story” also proved to be popular among Globes voters, taking home the trophy for Best Musical or Comedy; Best Actress went to breakout star Rachel Zegler and Best Supporting Actress went to Ariana DeBose. On the television side, “Succession” led the pack. The show was honored with the Best Drama award, in addition to scoring wins for Jeremy Strong and Sarah Snook. HBO’s “Hacks” also fared well, making a winner once again out of Jean Smart and picking up the prize for Best Comedy Series. But only a few of the night’s biggest stars, including Nicole Kidman, Mj Rodriguez and DeBose, even acknowledged their wins on social media. Other high-profile winners, including Will Smith and Andrew Garfield, have yet to comment on the awards, perhaps as a way to insulate themselves from further controversy.
