2018 was a year packed with countless interesting, moving and hilarious movies. Many were celebrated at the Golden Globe Awards on Jan. 6, 2019. This year’s Golden Globes were hosted by only the best: Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg. Starting with Best Motion Picture-Drama, Bohemian Rhapsody was victorious over a few other wildly popular movies this year such as A Star is Born and Black Panther. For Best Motion Picture- Musical or Comedy, Green Book took home the award.
As for those starring in last year’s most popular movies, there was some stiff competition. One unique aspect of the 2019 Golden Globes was that many seasoned actresses were competing against a celebrity better known for their music. Although Lady Gaga did not claim Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture-Drama, she did accept the award for Best Original Song.
The cast of Bohemian Rhapsody took home another award with Rami Malek winning Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture-Drama. The others who were nominated included Bradley Cooper, Willem Dafoe, Lucas Hedges and John David Washington.
In Musical or Comedy, Olivia Coleman and Christian Bale took home the awards for Best Actress and Actor in a Motion Picture.
As for Best Motion picture animated, Spider-Man: into the Spider Verse took the win. The other nominees included Incredibles 2, Isle of Dogs, Mirai, and Ralph Breaks the Internet.
Lastly, one of the most exciting aspects of the Golden Globes is the stars appearances. Gemma Chan, Emmy Rossum and Lady Gaga opted for romantic puffball-style gowns, whilst Janelle Monae and Charlize Theron went down the classic route.
