Winners of the 2021 Golden Globes

On a night that had everything to be one of the least memorable in Hollywood awards history, in which the lack of a full audience to laugh at the jokes was deeply felt, one theme dominated the game. Golden Globe 2021: diversity – or lack of it.

Discussions began even before the awards, on Friday (26), when countless stars joined the Time’s Up movement to point out the fact that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) has no black members among 87 associate journalists, ago 20 years. Names like Jennifer Aniston, Ava DuVernay, Judd Apatow, Kerry Washington, JJ Abrams, Damon Lindelof and Shonda Rhimes pointed out this fact in their networks and also the absence of black stories among the nominees for best film, in a year that featured films like Detachment Blood, Judas and the Black Messiah, A Voz Suprema do Blues me One night in miami.

The elephant in the room was immediately addressed in the keynote speech by the presenters. Amy poehler me Tina fey (who led the party in Los Angeles and New York, respectively, in an adaptation to times of pandemic).

“Look, a lot of flashy garbage has been indicated. It happens, that’s what they do. But many black actors and projects focused on black stories have been ignored, ”Poehler said. Fey added, saying that the awards are “stupid,” but that “even with stupid things, inclusion matters, and there are no black members in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.” I understand, you may not have received the memo because your office is in the back of a French McDonald’s, but you have to change that. “

This lack of diversity was recalled at numerous moments during the awards, in which he made an effort to make it clear that he recognized the problem, but perhaps the most striking of them was the speech of Jane fonda, awarded the Cecil B. De Mille trophy for his lifetime. Recalling the important role of storytellers in times of crisis like the one we have been through, he said: “There is a story about us that we have been afraid to hear in this industry. Let’s all make an effort, including the groups that decide who deserves recognition, to expand this space so that everyone can stand up, so that everyone’s stories have the opportunity to be heard. Let’s be leaders ”.

Recalling how much cinema helps us empathize with others, Fonda quoted several nominees of the night: Judas and the Black Messiah, One night in miami, Threatening – in addition to I can destroy you, series created by Michaela Coel considered an unjustified absence among the contestants for the Golden Globe for the best drama series.
