Nomadland and The Crown were among the top winners of the 78th Golden Globes. The winners were announced by members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association on Sunday. The virtual event was hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler at parallel venues in New York City and Los Angeles on account of the coronavirus pandemic.
Chloe Zhao’s Nomadland topped the Best Motion Picture – Drama category. Zhao was also named Best Director for Nomadland. She is only the second woman to win in this category at the Globes after Barbra Streisand for Yentl in 1984 and the second Asian after Ang Lee.
Zhao’s third feature stars Frances McDormand as a part-time worker who travels around the United States in her van and joins a community of transients like her. McDormand was also nominated in the Best Performance By An Actress in A Motion Picture – Drama category. This award went to Andra Day for The United States Vs. Billie Holiday.
