The 80th Golden Globe Awards, which took place this morning in Beverly Hills, handed out the top awards to Steven Spielberg’s “The Fabelmans,” “The Spirits of Inisherin” and the HBO series “The House of The Dragon.”
After ethical scandals and controversies due to the lack of diversity, this edition marked a new era for the ceremony, with a more diverse list of winners than the previous one and a commitment to progress in the future.
Steven Spielberg won the Golden Globe for Best Director for the semi-autobiographical title “The Fabelmans” and the film took home the Globe for Best Motion Picture Drama.

Spielberg said that everyone sees it as a success but no one knows who we really are until “we have the courage to tell our story.”
In the Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy category, the win went to “The Spirits of Inisherin,” which also took home the Globe for Best Screenplay and gave Colin Farrell the statuette for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical.

Angela Bassett, 64, also won the Best Supporting Actress award for her role in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever After” and spoke of “courage, patience and a true sense of self” in the pursuit of dreams. .

The controversy was pointed out by several winners and by the host, Jerrod Carmichael, whose opening monologue tackled the association’s problems bluntly.
