ANKARA (AA) - World War I drama 1917 took home the best drama crown from the 77th Golden Globe Awards late Sunday night, and its director Sam Mendes won best director.
At a ceremony in Los Angeles, Joaquin Phoenix grabbed best actor honors for his lead role in Joker, a decade after the late Heath Ledger won best supporting actor for playing a version of the same character in The Dark Knight.
Once Upon a Time…In Hollywood got Best Musical or Comedy, and its director/screenwriter Quentin Tarantino won for best screenplay.
Brad Pitt got best supporting actor nods for his role in Tarantino’s latest.
The Golden Globes, handed out each year by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, are seen as a bellwether for the main event, the Oscars, set for Feb. 10.
To win best picture, 1917 beat out The Two Popes, The Irishman, Joker, and Marriage Story.
Awkwafina got a best actress nod for her role in The Farewell, making her the first Asian to win the award in Golden Globes history.
But while enjoying acclaim for being among the best in movies and television, at least one award winner was not about to let the turmoil in the larger world be forgotten.
Accepting the award for best supporting actress in a limited series on TV, Patricia Arquette said: “I'm so grateful to be here and celebrate this but also I know tonight, January 5, 2020, we're not going to look back on this night. In the history books, we will see a country on the brink of war, the United States of America.”
