The Golden Globes: 8 of the best nominated films to watch

‘When it comes down to it, I’d rather have an action figure than a Golden Globe.’ – Chadwick Boseman

The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has delayed the annual Hollywood Press Association Awards by two months; for the first time the show will be a bi-coastal affair, broadcast from the usual venue of The Beverly Hills Hilton on the West Coast and from The Rainbow Room in New York City.

In their fourth crack at the gig,  the Golden Globe hosts will be Tina Fey (East Coast) and Amy Poehler (West), taking over from Ricky Gervais, who took his fifth turn at presenting the awards last year, where his trademark snark was felt by some to be fast approaching its sell-by-date.

This year’s Golden Globes will be unique in a number of ways; with nominations for three female directors, a record number of nods for Netflix and the appearance of the late Chadwick Boseman up for Best Actor in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and Sacha Baron Cohen up for Best Actor in Borat Subsequent Moviefilm and as Supporting Actor in The Trial of the Chicago 7.
