Golden Globes 2021 Complete Winners List

The 2021 Golden Globes went ahead even as its hosting body, The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, faced backlash for having no Black members and the fallout of a scathing Los Angeles Times investigation that revealed the special treatment and pampering HFPA members received enticing them to cover certain shows. Amy Poehler and Tina Fey co-hosted the controversial awards ceremony from Los Angeles and New York respectively, wasting no time in addressing the drama surrounding the HFPA during their opening monologue and doing their best to keep the show going amidst technical difficulties and awkward Zoom moments. 

Whether you watched the ceremony or not, you may still be interested in watching the films and TV shows that were honored during this year's Golden Globes. Netflix had a great night, winning the best drama and best limited series categories for The Crown and The Queen's Gambit. Schitt's Creek continued its award run, nabbing Catherine O'Hara her first Golden Globe win and taking home the prize for best comedy. 

On the film side, Chloe Zhao became the first woman of Asian descent to win the award for best director, taking home the trophy for her critically acclaimed film Nomadland, which also won the prize for Best Motion Picture Drama, while Amazon's Borat Subsequent Moviefilm was awarded Best Motion Picture Comedy.
