The 77th Golden Globes were meant to be a coronation for Netflix. Instead, a pair of big-screen epics took top honours Sunday, as Sam MendesB次元官网网址� technically dazzling World War I tale B次元官网网址�1917B次元官网网址� won best picture, drama, and Quentin TarantinoB次元官网网址檚 radiant Los Angeles fable B次元官网网址淥nce Upon a TimeB次元官网网址� in HollywoodB次元官网网址� won best film, comedy or musical.
The wins for B次元官网网址�1917B次元官网网址� were a surprise, besting such favourites as Noah BaumbachB次元官网网址檚 B次元官网网址淢arriage Story,B次元官网网址� the leading nominee with six nods, and Martin ScorseseB次元官网网址檚 B次元官网网址淭he Irishman.B次元官网网址� Both are acclaimed Netflix releases but collectively took home just one award, for Laura DernB次元官网网址檚 supporting performance as a divorce attorney in B次元官网网址淢arriage Story.B次元官网网址� B次元官网网址淭he IrishmanB次元官网网址� was shut out.
B次元官网网址�1917B次元官网网址� also won best director for Mendes. The film was made in sinuous long takes, giving the impression that the movie unfolds in one lengthy shot.
B次元官网网址淚 hope this means that people will turn up and see this on the big screen, the way it was intended,B次元官网网址� said Mendes, whose film expands nationwide Friday.
Though set around the 1969 Manson murders B次元官网网址淥nce Upon a TimeB次元官网网址� in HollywoodB次元官网网址� was classified a comedy and had an easier path to victory than the more competitive drama category. Brad Pitt won for best supporting actor, his first acting Globe since winning in 1996 for B次元官网网址�12 Monkeys,B次元官网网址� padding his front-runner status for the Oscars. Tarantino also won best screenplay.

Ricky Gervais, hosting the NBC-telecast ceremony for the fifth time, began the evening with an expletive-laden plea against hypocrisy, telling winners to stick to thanking their agent and their god. But throughout the night, winners seized their moment to speak about current events including the wildfires in Australia, rising tensions with Iran, womenB次元官网网址檚 rights and the importance of LGBT trailblazers.
Patricia Arquette, a winner for her performance in HuluB次元官网网址檚 B次元官网网址淭he Act,B次元官网网址� referenced the United StatesB次元官网网址� targeted killing of Iranian Gen.

Gervais opened the show by stating that Netflix had taken over Hollywood. given its commanding 34 nominations coming into the Globes. B次元官网网址淭his show should just be me coming out going: B次元官网网址榃ell done, Netflix. You win everything tonight,B次元官网网址� he said.
As it turned out, he was wrong. Netflix won only two awards: DernB次元官网网址檚 win plus one for Olivia ColmanB次元官网网址檚 performance in B次元官网网址淭he Crown.B次元官网网址� It was a definite hiccup for the streaming service, which is aiming for its first best-picture win at the Academy Awards next month.
Instead, the awards were widely spread out among traditional Hollywood studios, indie labels like A24, cable heavyweights like HBO and relative newcomers like Hulu.
