Great Movies
The Golden Globes were handed out on Sunday night, January 5th, 2020, in a ceremony hosted by Ricky Gervais. While most of the awards went as planned, a few surprises snuck in, including a nice push for Universal’s “1917,” which won Best Picture – Drama and Best Director for Sam Mendes. Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood” kept the momentum that makes it the presumptive Oscar favorite by winning Best Screenplay, Best Picture – Comedy, and Best Supporting Actor for Brad Pitt. On the TV side, HBO’s “Succession” & “Chernobyl,” and Amazon’s “Fleabag” were the big winners. Stay tuned for a detailed report on the evening and see the full list of winners below:
