Golden Globes 2021: The Complete List Of Winners

It's hardly a secret that the entertainment industry has lately been operating much differently than it has in years past. Movie theaters have shut down; hardly any film studios have dared to send their features exclusively onto the big screen (opting instead for streaming releases in tandem with very limited theatrical runs, if any at all); and awards ceremonies that have taken place after March 2020 have been conducted digitally. The 78th Annual Golden Globe Awards are no different: Hosted by now-four-time hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, the 2021 Golden Globes took place on Sunday, February 28 at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California and in New York City's Rainbow Room, with nominees dialing in virtually from all over the world. 

The 2021 Golden Globes celebrate the very best of television in 2020 and the heaviest-hitting films of last year and early this year, and the nominees are nothing short of dazzling. But what about the winners? Like all TV and movie fans out there, Looper was keen to find out which projects and stars will take home the literal gold. Below, find the full list of nominees and winners at the 2021 Golden Globes.

Everything from Netflix Originals — like the already-well-loved drama Ozark and the fresh miniseries that took the world by storm, The Queen's Gambit — to David Fincher's latest feature to Pixar's heartwarming Soul to a daring feminist revenge thriller that had everyone buzzing received nominations going into the 2021 Golden Globes. Netflix led as both the motion picture distributor and the television distributor with the most nominations, at 22 and 20 nominations total, respectively. At six nominations each, Mank and The Crown were the motion picture and the television series with the most nominations. 

Sacha Baron Cohen had a double win at the Globes, taking home the awards for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for Borat Subsequent Moviefilm and Best Actor – Musical or Comedy for his performance in the film, a sequel to the original Borat movie. Star Wars fans were left heartbroken when The Mandalorian lost out to The Crown for the Golden Globe for Best Television Series – Drama. On the flip side, those who couldn't get enough of Anya Taylor-Joy's performance as Beth Harmon in Netflix's The Queen's Gambit were thrilled that she scored the award for Best Actress in a Miniseries or Television Film, and when the show itself earned the Globe for Best Miniseries or Television Film. 

The late, great Chadwick Boseman won a posthumous award for Best Actor – Drama for his turn as the trumpeter Levee Green in Netflix's Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. Other projects and creatives that won big at the 2021 Golden Globes include Schitt's Creek, Soul, Minari, Nomadland, Daniel Kaluuya, Jodie Foster, Josh O'Connor, John Boyega, Gillian Anderson, Emma Corrin, Jason Sudeikis, and Mark Ruffalo, among others.
