The 75th Golden Globes was about more than just awards tonight. We saw a near-perfect microcosm of the current social and political landscape, with new victories in progress fighting against the old order that has stuck to the industry like gum on the bottom of a producer’s Bruno Magli.

The victories: Some of the biggest names in Hollywood wearing black to bring awareness to sexual harassment in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal.


The gum: Female and minority directors, including Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman), Dee Rees (Mudbound), Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird), and Jordan Peele (Get Out), being shut out for Best Director. (Also, Get Out is most certainly not a comedy or a musical.)

However, the Golden Globes is an awards show and there were definitely some noteworthy wins and surprises tonight. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and Lady Bird walked away with Best Motion Picture in their respective categories, with the former receiving four wins, including Best Actress (Frances McDormand) and Best Supporting Actor (Sam Rockwell), as well as Best Screenplay (Martin McDonagh).

Despite being up against directorial titans like Christopher Nolan and Steven Spielberg, Guillermo del Toro took home Best Director. When he was being played off during his speech, he said, “Lower the music, guys. It’s taken 25 years, give me a minute.” Surprisingly, Get Out walked away without winning either of the awards for which it was nominated, including Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy and Best Performance.

The Handmaid’s Tale had another great year, picking up awards for Best Drama and Best Actress. Big Little Lies didn’t do too shabby with a Best Limited Series win and Nicole Kidman, Alexander Skarsgaard, and Laura Dern nabbing awards for Best Performance.
