The 2021 Golden Globes happened on 2-28-2021; and the two hosts were Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Tina Fey was presenting awards in NYC at the Rainbow Room; while Amy Poehler did her hosting from the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, CA. There were some recognizable cameos by Kenan Thompson and Maya Rudolph, among other ones. Some of the big Golden Globe winners were Rosamund Pike for 'I Care A Lot' movie; Aaron Sorkin for Best Screenplay for 'The Trial of the Chicago 7' movie; Sacha Baron Cohen for Actor in 'Borat Subsequent Moviefilm' comedy movie; and Chadwick Boseman for Actor in 'Ma Rainey's Black Bottom' movie. Other big winners were Daniel Kaluuya for Best Supporting Actor in 'Judas and the Black Messiah' movie; Jodie Foster for Best Supporting Actress in 'The Mauritanian' movie; and Chloe Zhao for Best Director of 'Nomadland.' Nomadland won the Best Picture award, and the best actress award went to Andra Day for 'The United States vs. Billie Holiday' movie. In addition, the Golden Globes awards were a mostly virtual show. The actors and actresses gave acceptance speeches via Zoom, or another Video communications software (like Microsoft Teams; Skype; or Cisco WebEx). There was an audience of less than 50 total people, in NYC and Beverly Hills, CA venues. On March 15, the Academy Awards announcement will happen courtesy of Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra. Nick and Priyanka got married in December 2018. Nick has a new song called 'This is Heaven'; from his newly released 'Superman' album. Next, the awards season continues with the DGA (directors guild of america awards on 4-10-2021); SAG (screen actors guild awards on 4-4-2021); and bafta awards (on 4-11-2021). Producers Guild of America (PGA) awards will happen virtually on 3-24-2021. The WGA (writers guild of america) awards will happen virtually on 3-21-2021. The frontrunners for DGA awards are Chloe Zhao for Nomadland; David Fincher for Mank; and Aaron Sorkin for The Trial of the Chicago 7. Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Women) and Lee Isaac Chung (Minari) were nominated for best director also. Regina King (One Night in Miami) and Florian Zeller (The Father) were nominated surprisingly, for First-Time Feature Film. In terms of the SAG awards, this awards show will be held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, CA. The DGA awards will be held at 7920 Sunset Blvd in Los Angeles, CA. The BAFTA awards are held at Royal Albert Hall in London, UK. The PGA has offices in Los Angeles, and NYC. The WGA has offices in Los Angeles, and Hollywood. In this fifth paragraph, the Oscars will be on April 25, 2021. Once again, Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, CA will be the venue. Yet, there will be no in-person attendance at this time. There will not be a specific host for the 2021 Oscars, on ABC. In terms of after parties, the Governors Ball is the big one in which all the big winners attend. In closing, this awards season is like no other due to the Covid-19 global pandemic. The amount of crowd attendance will drop tremendously. But, the different awards shows will be on NBC; ABC; TBS; etc. Finally, the low attendance will lead to dismal TV ratings. Hopefully, 2021 is the last year of the covid-19 global pandemic for the entertainment and movie industries. Arrivederci from Hollywood, CA.
