The winners of the 79th annual Golden Globes Awards were revealed Sunday night during a non-televised ceremony at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. Will Smith and Steven Spielberg’s remake of “West Side Story” won the biggest awards on Sunday, at a diminished Golden Globes ceremony held privately without the Glamour and fanfare from Hollywood’s biggest stars.
Actors, directors and film studios largely ignored the Golden Globes this year after criticism in 2021 that its organizers, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), operated with questionable ethics policies and no Black members. Longtime broadcaster NBC opted not to air this year’s awards.
Critics had objected to the HFPA not having any Black members and raised questions over whether close relationships with Hollywood studios influenced the selection of nominees and winners. In May 2021, Tom Cruise returned the three Golden Globe statuettes he had won.
Global sensation Squid Game was among the night’s first-time winners, while Pose‘s Michaela Jaé Rodriguez made history as the first trans actress to be named Best Actress in a Drama Series.
Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story,” a tale of young love set among rival street gangs, was named best musical or comedy film. Released by Walt Disney Co (DIS.N), the film earned three trophies overall, including best actress for Rachel Zegler.
