Live: 76th Golden Globes
A key indicator for the Academy Awards, Film and TV Editor Lillian Crawford stays up late and gives her thoughts on the show
Live Text
(Refreshes automatically)Going live from midnight, Film and TV Editor Lillian Crawford will be bringing you coverage of the 76th Golden Globes. The awards celebrate the best cinema and television of the last twelve months, and will set the tone the rest of 2019's awards season. So grab settle down and tune in to the first big film and TV event of the year!
04:30 – Oh, that really was it. A generally dull affair, as expected, somehow even more depressing than the predictions indicated. No one would have guessed Green Book and Bohemian Rhapsody would seize the night, marking one of the most forgettable set of awards of all time. For a ceremony apparently dedicated to inclusion, ending with a film directed by Bryan Singer, notably unmentioned in the speeches, is hideously ironic. Hopefully Roma's two gongs will set a more promising precedent for the Oscars. If either of the best pictures selected here takes the top prize in February, I'll re-watch Norbit. Good night, folks.
04:22 – BEST MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA
Goes to Bohemian Rhapsody. "Wow, that was unexpected." I couldn't put it better myself. If they were going to go with the popular choice, it was bound to be A Star Is Born. Apparently not. The notion that this could even be compared to Roma is laughable, confirming that the foreign picture category was the most important of the night. Quite a dud note to end on.

04:18 – BEST ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA
Goes to Rami Malek in Bohemian Rhapsody. Another divisive film, although Malek gave a fine turn as Freddie Mercury. Awards love a biopic, but at least it didn't go to Bradley Cooper's silly routine in A Star Is Born.
04:12 – Close's face is priceless. What a lovely moment.

04:08 – BEST ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA
Goes to Glenn Close in The Wife. It's a great performance, made in subtle glances and movements. This will almost certainly set her up to take on Olivia Colman at the Oscars. She's delighted, graciously congratulating Lady Gaga who I had feared would win, one of her "category sisters". It has clearly come as a surprise to her, and indeed to me, but a pleasing one. Her speech is rousing, a celebration of personal achievement and aspiration in the face of adversity. Quite rightfully, she receives an uproarious standing ovation.

04:00 – BEST MOTION PICTURE – MUSICAL OR COMEDY
Goes to Green Book. Well, that's quite a shock. It's a controversial choice for so many reasons that we are bound to go into when the film gets a UK release later this month. There are going to be some very angry people. Considering how magical Crazy Rich Asians and Mary Poppins Returns are, I can't help but despair. Farrelly shouts over the orchestra to "go away" – the rest of us wish he would.
03:55 – WHY IS THIS CEREMONY SO LONG?! Apparently there's only a few more to go. If you're still with me, or ever were, you have my eternal gratitude (and sympathy).
03:50 – See, sandwiches! Although not vegan so much shame on her. I would rather starve.

03:48 – BEST ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE – MUSICAL OR COMEDY
Goes to Olivia Colman for The Favourite. She was bound to win out here and it's most deserved. I have often said that, while an impressive dramatic actress, Colman is an expert at comedy. Starting with a thanks to Melissa McCarthy who has been handing out sandwiches, she continues her charm into her speech. Addressing Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz as "my bitches", there is such joy in her voice. Certainly the most delightful speech of the night.

03:42 – BEST TELEVISION LIMITED SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION
Goes to The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story. That was a lot of words to type out. It's a surprise win, given the nomination of Sharp Objects which has topped many of the year's round-ups. Still, my vote would have gone to A Very English Scandal. Important speech about LGBT+ representation and the continuing battle we have to fight.

03:36 – Just a reminder of how much better Judy Garland was than Lady Gaga in A Star Is Born. It's that time of night, and we haven't even got to the part when she wins yet.

03:30 – BEST TELEVISION SERIES – COMEDY
Goes to The Kominsky Method. Chuck Lorre picks up the award for that series Michael Douglas got a gong for at the start of the night. Good for him.
03:28 – BEST ACTRESS IN A TELEVISION SERIES – MUSICAL OR COMEDY
Goes to Rachel Brosnahan in The Marvellous Mrs Maisel. Utterly unsurprising win for the remarkably talented star of Amazon Prime's hit series. She's also wearing a gorgeous yellow dress that I'm rather envious of.

03:18 – BEST DIRECTOR
Goes to Alfonso Cuarón for Roma. Twice hoorah! This is a wonderful moment, and a most deserving win. Normally this award is an indicator of best picture, but bizarrely the film isn't nominated in the drama category. Cuarón dedicates Roma to his family, the true directors of the work and of him as a person. The film is available on Netflix, so be sure to watch it.

03:15 – CECIL B DEMILLE AWARD
Goes to Jeff Bridges. The next wave of praise is bestowed upon an enduring cinematic legend, The Dude himself. This year he was the standout performer in Bad Times at the El Royale, and has continuously brought excellence to the Western genre. Yes, it's safe to say Bridges is a deserving winner.
Someone apparently thought it was flattering to conclude his reel with a clip from Surf's Up, which might have been the first film I saw him in. Taking to the stage, he thanks his wife and various other people he addresses as "man". Amongst the thanked people are Peter Bogdanovich, who was instrumental in piecing together Orson Welles's unfinished masterpiece, The Other Side of the Wind, and the Coens, of course. He then tells us that we're all "alive, man" and "can turn this ship in the way we want to go, man". Gotta love him.

03:05 – Probably the greatest scene of the year. What a film.

03:00 – BEST ACTOR IN A LIMITED SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION
Goes to Darren Criss in The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story. It was the first series, about O.J. Simpson, that rocked the awards a couple of years back, and here Criss has ensured the concept will continue. It was a strong category, with Antonio Banderas nominated, along with two Brits - Benedict Cumberbatch and Hugh Grant. The latter gets my pick, but at least Whishaw was awarded earlier tonight.

02:54 – BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM
Goes to Roma. Thank God. It was a tough category this year, with Palme d'Or-winner Shoplifters also nominated. But the Mexican drama by Alfonso Cuarón is by some way the best film up for a prize tonight. Unfortunately Yalitza Aparicio was snubbed in the actress category, but the director is quick to draw attention to her lead performance. A reminder, as ever, that this is the most important category, and that awards ceremonies need to integrate the foreign language and best picture categories. It could well happen at the Oscars.

02:45 – BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA
Goes to Christian Bale in Vice. As the most-nominated film of the night, it was bound to pick up something. And as always, it goes to a man who wore a fat suit (shame it wasn't John C Reilly). It's amusing that he seems to be doing a slightly poor Gary Oldman impression, given that he swept the awards last year for doing a similar caricature routine in Darkest Hour. No one nominated really deserved it anyway.

02:44 – BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN A SERIES, LIMITED SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION
Goes to Patricia Clarkson for Sharp Objects. Why do the categories have such long names? Anyway, this was entirely expected. She makes a slightly strange joke about not being asked for sex by her director, but there you go.

02:40 – I hope this is actually going to happen. They would be great Oscars hosts, although my current choice would be Sandra Oh's parents.

02:38 – BEST SCREENPLAY
Goes to Green Book. Another surprising win for Peter Farrelly's film, and a slightly worrying indicator that it could take the top prize in the comedy or musical category. Considering that it was up amongst the best film of the year, Roma, and the more obvious choice of The Favourite, it might be a hoard of awards for Green Book.

02:34 – BEST PERFORMANCE IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA
Goes to Mahershala Ali in Green Book. Intriguing, and slightly unexpected given that rising star Timothée Chalamet was up for Beautiful Boy, an incredibly moving film. Issue has been taken with Green Book's racial politics, but there's no denying that Ali is a great actor.

02:25 – BEST ACTRESS IN A TELEVISION SERIES – DRAMA
Goes to Sandra Oh for Killing Eve. Oh, she so deserved it. And no one could possibly sound more excited and grateful. Her parents receive the spotlight, as do her co-stars and producer Phoebe Waller-Bridge. While I would have like to have seen Florence Pugh be nominated for Park Chan-Wook's The Little Drummer Girl, it's a more than deserving win.

02:20 – BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A MOTION PICTURE
Goes to Regina King in If Beale Street Could Talk. A deserved win, I'm sure, but sadly the film won't make its way to the UK for some time yet. A competitive category, with both Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz nominated for The Favourite and Claire Foy's incredibly powerful turn in First Man. She applauds director Barry Jenkins, whose last film, Moonlight, was a devastating emotional drama. Here's hoping his latest picture has the same impact. Her speech takes a turn toward female solidarity, calling on people in positions of power to hire more women. Hear, hear.

02:10 – BEST ORIGINAL SONG
Goes to Mark Ronson and Lady Gaga for 'Shallow' from A Star Is Born. How shocking. It probably won't be the final award for the film tonight, and Ronson gives Gaga a rather gushing dedication. Sorry, I'm bitter and tired. The category was weak this year.

02:07 – BEST ORIGINAL SCORE
Goes to Justin Hurwitz for First Man. I can breathe a sigh of relief and rejoice. Hurwitz is soon becoming one the greatest composers of our time, having won all three awards he has been nominated for. His theremin score is incredibly moving, balancing heartache and tension perfectly. It is a true work of art. Shame the film itself isn't up for best picture.

02:05 – CAROL BURNETT AWARD
A new award introduced this year as a counterpart to the Cecil B. DeMille Award for recognition of achievements in television. It goes, shockingly, to Carol Burnett, the most decorated Golden Globe-winner in the television categories with five gongs.
A charming and, obviously, hilarious reel plays to welcome her to the stage as Steve Carell hands over the trophy. Her speech celebrates movies and television, of how it has the power to move us to laughter and tears. She acknowledges the fortunes of her career, and thanks re-runs and YouTube for her continued fame. It's quite refreshing to hear a speech about the media itself and the power it has.
🤞🤞 for Carol Burnett #GoldenGlobes pic.twitter.com/XaB3zERbSl

01:50 – There's now a surreal moment in which a team of people in lab coats come out to give actors in the audience flu shots. Well I certainly didn't see that coming.
01:46 – BEST ACTRESS IN A LIMITED SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION
Goes to Patricia Arquette in Escape at Dannemora. It was expected to go to Amy Adams for Sharp Objects, but Arquette is a tremendous actress. She starts by thanking director Ben Stiller who presented the award to her.

01:42 – BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR IN A SERIES, LIMITED SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION
Goes to Ben Whishaw for A Very English Scandal. Hoorah! Finally got one right, and a most deserving win it is. He thanks everyone involved, including director Stephen Frears and writer Russell T Davies, before celebrating the "true queer icon and hero" Norman Scott, who he portrayed in the series.

01:40 – Meher Tatna, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, has taken to the stage to declare that their industry is "under siege". This is followed by an announcement that two non-profit non-partisan organisations will receive funding from the association to preserve the freedom of speech.
01:34 – BEST TELEVISION SERIES – DRAMA
Goes to The Americans. A surprise disappointment for the Killing Eve team, although the series is a big hit in the States. With the FX show's final series airing this year, it would seem that voters have decided to see it off in a shower of glory.

01:30 – BEST ACTOR IN A TELEVISION SERIES – DRAMA
Goes to Richard Madden in Bodyguard. A surprising win for a British actor, but nonetheless a welcome one proving that the series was as bit a hit in the US as it is in Britain. It's a shame they got the cast of The Big Bang Theory to present it to him, marking quite a contrast in tone (and quality). He rightly starts by thanking co-star Keeley Hawes, who was snubbed of a nomination in the actress category.
01:22 – BEST ANIMATED FILM
Goes to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Well, it was always going to, hailed by many as a revolution in both animation and the superhero genre. Considering that it was up against Wes Anderson's incredible Isle of Dogs and Pixar's Incredibles 2, this seems quite a safe choice. Already the Globes are following popular trends. You can read my review here.
01:18 – BEST ACTOR IN A TELEVISION SERIES - MUSICAL OR COMEDY
Goes to Michael Douglas for his performance in The Kominsky Method. Presented by A Star Is Born duo Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga, Douglas gives the usual spiel of thanks to the show creators and co-stars. Cue the orchestra...

01:15 – Sandra Oh and Adam Sandberg have taken to the stage to make some 'jokes' about Oscar hosts and the usual picking on audience members. Nothing groundbreaking, nothing particularly amusing – although Oh's impression of male directors saying, "FIRST MAN - THEN MAYBE, WOMAN?" does draw a smirk.
She's also taking a tearful moment to celebrate the diversity of the audience tonight which brings the sincerity it deserves. I should imagine we shall hear similarly moving speeches throughout the evening.
01:00 – At last, the show is about to begin and we might get to see some people win something. Settle down, get comfortable, and let the ceremony begin...
00:50 – Tipped for best actor tonight is Rami Malek who portrayed Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody. Another one that defied the critics and stormed the box office, the Globes do seem to be awarding popular choices this year. If that's the direction to go, Love Simon has been snubbed.
Following in this trend is Mary Poppins Returns, which I adored (although plenty of people didn't). Dick Van Dyke is on the red carpet right now, and he would be my choice for best cameo hands down. Whether or not Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda will get some trophies remains to be seen.

00:40 – Lady Gaga has been tipped for two awards for her performance in A Star Is Born, both as an actress and a singer. While it is hard deny that she can perform onstage, there is a clumsiness to her acting style that didn't work wonders for her character.

00:30 – There's been a lot of controversy over the possibility of a new Best Popular Film award at the Oscars this year, but that hasn't stopped Black Panther from being nominated for a best picture award at the Globes. I thought Avengers: Infinity War was probably a better film, although you can't understate the cultural significance of this movie.

00:20 – I was delighted to see Crazy Rich Asians up for two awards tonight, a film which left me quite unexpectedly in a flood of tears. The wedding scene is achingly tender and the ensemble cast shines. Constance Wu is up for one of the best actress awards, while Michelle Yeoh appears to have shown up in a dress based on the green ring she wears in the movie. Now that's commitment!

00:10 – Some more people are shimmying their way down toward the auditorium in an array of fabulous frocks. Amongst them is Rosamund Pike who is up for best actress in a drama for portraying Marie Colvin in A Private War. While I have not yet seen the film, her story was well told in the documentary Under the Wire, and if anyone can bring her to life onscreen it's Pike.

00:00 – Stars are taking to the red carpet in their droves, and while I am no fashion expert, there are some stunning (and not always in a good way) looks. Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh seem to be mirroring their Killing Eve onscreen rivalry with a pair of striking black-and-white garments. The series, orchestrated by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, is up for two awards, with Comer snubbed in the supporting actor category. It's available on BBC iPlayer for over a year so be sure to give it watch.

23:45 - While I wait for the red carpet pre-show to stop buffering, here's some facts about this evening's ceremony. It will be hosted by Adam Sandberg and Sandra Oh, herself tipped to pick up an award for her tremendous performance in Killing Eve. While last year saw the red carpet painted black in light of the MeToo movement, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association are inviting guests to celebrate inclusion in 2019. This has been reflected in the nominations. Although no there are no women out of the directors in the best picture categories, four out of ten are people of colour.
The film with the most nominations is Adam McKay's biopic of Dick Chaney, Vice, taking six nods, and it may well sweep the board. Let's hope not, although it would be great if Amy Adams could get the recognition she seems too often cheated out of. Close behind the much-lauded, hugely overrated A Star Is Born with five nods, the debut feature of Bradley Cooper. I have a feeling my grumbles about that film will feature heavily tonight. It ties with Green Book and The Favourite, the latter of which is likely to see a win for Olivia Colman, the front runner for a stream of British nominees. Nothing that really stands out, to be quite honest.
