<em>Three Billboards</em> and <em>Lady Bird</em> Win the Golden Globes on a Charged Night
Plus, a speech from Oprah Winfrey set the tone for a ceremony that grappled with sexual abuse and misogyny in Hollywood.
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri emerged as a surprising Oscar frontrunner after winning four Golden Globes—Best Picture: Drama, Actress: Drama, Supporting Actor, and Screenplay—at a charged ceremony dominated by discussion of Hollywood’s power imbalances and the #MeToo movement. Though films like Lady Bird and The Shape of Water also won big, and shows like Big Little Lies, The Handmaid’s Tale, and The Marvelous Mrs.did well in the TV categories, the ceremony’s most memorable moment came in an honorary award for Oprah Winfrey, who spoke out on the industry’s issues with misogyny, sexual abuse, and the ongoing lack of diversity in Hollywood’s corridors of power.
