Coco wins 2018 Golden Globe for Best Animated Motion Picture

“Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri” dominated the show by picking up leading four awards at the 75th Golden Globes which has kicked off Hollywood’s awards season.

Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri, Big Little Lies, Lady Bird and Oprah dominated the 2018 Golden Globe Awards during a lengthy, politically outspoken ceremony.

Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri won the night’s biggest award for Best Motion Picture, Drama, as well as Best Screenplay, while its star Frances McDormand picked up Best Actress and Sam Rockwell won Best Supporting Actor. In the Musical/Comedy category, Greta Gerwig’s Lady Bird won Motion Picture, Comedy, while its star, Saoirse Ronan, took home Best Actress.

Golden Globe Awards are accolades bestowed by the 93 members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association beginning in January 1944, recognizing excellence in film and television, both domestic and foreign.

In the 2018 Golden Globe Awards, in a year that has seen the entertainment industry upended by a wave of sexual harassment scandals, the 75th Golden Globes flipped the script.

At the last Sunday evening’s ceremony, everything — from the black dresses women wore on the red carpet in solidarity to the jokes and speeches to the winners themselves — seemed freighted with meaning.

In the television categories of the Golden Globe Awards, The Handmaid’s Tale continued its awards show domination, winning Best TV Series, Drama, while its star, Elisabeth Moss, won Best Actress.

In the miniseries category, Big Little Lies continued its remarkable run, winning Best Miniseries, Best Actress (Nicole Kidman) and Best Supporting Actor (Alexander Skarsgård).

The activist at the Golden Globes began on the red carpet. Many actresses and actors arrived in black outfits or wearing pins in support of Time’s Up, a new coalition and legal defence fund aimed at combatting workplace sexual harassment and misconduct.

But despite the hope and inspiration, moments later the Golden Globes offered a perhaps inadvertent reminder of how much work remains to be done.
