75th Annual Golden Globe Awards: Complete List of Nominees and Winners
The 75th Annual Golden Globe Awards was an inspirational and long overdue ode to female creators — though work remains to rectify the historical inequities suffered in Hollywood by women and people of color.
An unprecedented proliferation of black dresses (wear-black protest is against sexual misconduct and gender inequality in the entertainment industry), actresses bringing activists as their dates, and Time’s Up pins signified the industry’s unity: women will not tolerate a culture of injustice and discrimination. After a year of women speaking out against a culture of sexual harassment, the 2018 Golden Globes further signified a dramatic shift in culture, in Hollywood and beyond.
It also was a night of big wins for films from and about the female perspective, with “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “Big Little Lies,” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” all taking home multiples wins, and two films about powerhouse women — Lady Bird and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri — taking home best Motion Picture in their respective genre categories.
The indisputable highlight of the night was a galvanizing speech by an entertainment icon, Oprah Winfrey, accepting the Cecil B. DeMille award for her contributions to the entertainment industry. “Speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we all have,” said Winfrey, who inspired a tearful and moved crowd their feet more than once. “For too long, women have not been heard or believed if they dared to speak their truth to power men hold. But their TIME IS UP!”

Immediately after Winfrey’s incredible speech, Natalie Portman pointed out the irony of then presenting a category in which only male directors had been nominated. In fact, Barbra Streisand who later presented is the only woman to have ever won a Golden Globe for Best Director. “That was 34 years ago,” a frustrated and perplexed Streisand commented, “Time’s Up!” On a night that the industry so clearly wanted to celebrate women’s voices, incongruities like this stood in stark contrast. Despite wearing plenty of “Time’s Up” pins, no award-winning men mentioned standing up to sexual misconduct in their acceptance speeches. Nominations for The Greatest Showman, a film about a straight white man that erases the truth about P.T. Barnum’s history of abusing marginalized groups, also felt inappropriate in the cultural moment. Similarly tone deaf was the HFPA’s choice to ask Seth Meyers, a straight, white man, to host the ceremony.
Seth Meyers’ cutting commentary kicked off the night admitting “it’s been years since a white man was this nervous in Hollywood.” Meyers set a tone of deference by giving female, queer, and nonwhite actors the punchlines in a series of jokes, and calling out ousted sexual offenders like Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey by name. It was a tricky feat, but Meyers managed to steer the evening with grace. “People in this room worked really hard to get here,” Meyers said, “but it’s clear now more than ever before that the women had to work even harder…I look forward to you leading us into whatever comes next.”
