It’s the first weekend of the new year and that means its time for the Golden Globes, the first awards show of the year. Ricky Gervais hosts for the fifth time and delivers as always. Of course, he doesn’t care about the celebrities he is insulting. But comedy aside, the awards show delivered some surprises and some winners we all saw coming.
The biggest surprise is that Eddie Murphy did not win for “Dolemite Is My Name”. Considering he was snubbed at the SAG Awards for a nomination, the chances of Murphy of getting the Oscar nomination, but I can only hope. Also, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” did better than I expected with three wins. In addition, “Rocketman” came out with two wins, something I did not expect as well. Finally, “1917” won the top prize with two awards. This has certainly divided the internet as no one saw it coming. I will see “1917” soon and we shall see if it was worthy of Best Motion Picture-Drama. But here are the winners of the 2020 Golden Globes Awards:
