New Delhi:
The Golden Globes,
the first award show of the post-Weinstein season, handed out early trophies, rather aptly, to Nicole Kidman and Elisabeth Moss for their performances in the TV shows
Big Little Lies and
The Handmaid's Tale. Both play survivors of assault - Nicole is a battered wife in
Big Little Lies (her TV husband Alexander Skarsgard also won a Globe) and Elisabeth's character suffers sexual abuse in a dystopian world. Also fittingly, Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell won Best Actress - Drama and Best Supporting Actor for
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri - a film predicated on the aftermath of rape. It also won Best Film - Drama.
Sterling K Brown made history as the first African-American to win Best Actor (TV) - Drama for
This Is Us.
Guillermo Del Toro won Best Director for
The Shape Of Water, beating out stiff competition from Christopher Nolan (
Dunkirk), Ridley Scott (
All The Money In The World) and Steven Spielberg (
The Post). Saoirse Ronan and James Franco took the top acting honours for Musical/Comedy. Gary Oldman finally won a Globe - Best Actor -Drama for Darkest Hour - after years of criticising the awards as not credible. Allison Janney won Best Supporting Actress for
I, Tonya.Television's
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and
Big Little Lies and were the big winners of the night - both
Big Little Lies and
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri won in four categories each.
