Golden Globes Highlights: From Angela Bassett to “The Fabelmans” to “The White Lotus”

The 80th Golden Globes have come and gone, but we’re here to give you the highlights and the full list of winners.

Steven Spielberg came home with two major awards for his auto-biographical feature The Fabelmans—the globe for Best Picture, Drama, and Best Director. Spielberg’s win for Best Picture bested the likes of James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water and Todd Field’s Tár, while his globe for directing gave him the edge over Cameron, Everything Everywhere All At Once directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, and The Banshees of Inisherin director Martin McDonagh.

Don’t feel too bad for McDonagh—he still had a fantastic night. He also took home two awards, with his richly realized dark comedy The Banshees of Inisherin winning for Best Picture, Musical or Comedy, and McDonagh winning Best Screenplay.

Netflix scored big with Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio winning Best Motion Picture, Animated.

Austin Butler took home the award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture for his soulful work in Elvis, while Michelle Yeoh gave a spirited acceptance speech for her win for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for Everything Everywhere All At Once. 

Angela Bassett gave one of the most moving speeches for the night when she won Best Supporting Actress for Black Panther: Wakanda ForeverSpeaking about losing Chadwick Boseman, the star of Black Panther, in August of 2020, Bassett said, “We mourned, we loved, we healed, and we were surrounded each and every day by the light and the spirit of Chadwick Boseman.”

Meanwhile, on the TV side of the ledger, Abbott Elementary creator and star Quinta Brunson had a big night, winning both Best Television Series, Musical, or Comedy and Best Actress in a TV Musical or Comedy. Mike White, the creator of HBO’s The White Lotusenjoyed a big win for Best Limited Series, while one of his stars, Jennifer Coolidge, took home the Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role, Limited Series.
