Golden Globes Winners and Highlights

The 2021 Golden Globes Awards have come to an end, giving us our first major list of award honored films from the hectic year of 2020. This ceremony was notably different from past years due to the now very familiar streamed-from-home format from which all nominees were seen. However, this did not prevent some memorable moments from being made nor from being able to recognize the best works in film over the past year.

The biggest awards of the night went to Chloe Zhao’s Nomadland, which took home Best Director and Best Drama for motion pictures. Borat Subsequent Moviefilm also took home major awards in the Best Actor and Best Picture in the Musical or Comedy categories.

Ryan Pineda: When it comes to film, animation, video games and other mediums, I can discuss for hours about how much on why certain films and animated media made me the person I am today. I adore the artistic merit that comes from a lot of pop-culture media and will definitely love to have a conversation about favorite movies any day! I have graduated in 2017 with a BA in Film and Television at the University of Arizona. Been passionate about writing about films due to always having an interesting outlook on the medium. Will always see a film and will definitely be sure to recommend it to someone that I know for a fact would love that movie. Not only that but will also give reasons for why I think that film did or did not work as a movie, and the same can go for other pieces of media like television, video games and especially animated projects.
