The curtains are drawn and the winners for the 78th Golden Globes are finally in. For the first time in the history of the prestigious ward, the ceremony was presented virtually in a livestream with the nominees dialling in from the safety of their own premises (though the red carpet and attending-ceremony-at-home looks remain equally fabulous—WFH or not).
Hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler from the Rainbow Room in Rockefeller Center (New York) and the Beverly Hilton (Los Angeles), respectively, the ceremony saw Chloé Zhao’s Nomadland and Sacha Baron Cohen’s Borat Subsequent Moviefilm reigning in top honours awards of Best Motion Picture.
