Chadwick Boseman, Andra Day, Daniel Kaluuya & John Boyega Among Big Winners at 2021 Golden Globe Awards

In a year where there’s been heavy criticism with the fact that there are NO Black voting members/ journalists in its group, the 78th Golden Globe Awards was a good night for Black talent. While "Nomadland" won the award for best drama film and "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm" won best comedy film, Andra Day surprisingly won best actress in a drama for "The United States vs. Billie Holiday" and Chadwick Boseman posthumously received the award for best actor in a drama for what became his final movie role in "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom."

Day’s win makes her the 2nd Black woman to win in that category since Whoopi Goldberg (1985 The Color Purple) and Boseman’s win puts him as the 4th Black male in that category behind Forest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland), Denzel Washington (The Hurricane) and Sidney Poitier (Lilies in the Field). Both Boseman and Day’s wins for Best Actor and Best Actress in a Motion Picture (Drama) marks the 1st time it went to a Black man and Black woman in the SAME year.

Chloé Zhao, who helmed "Nomadland," became only the second woman ever to win best director. Jane Fonda received the Cecil B. DeMille Award and Norman Lear became the third ever recipient of the Carol Burnett Award.  

The winners of the 78th Golden Globes are: (BOLDED)
