The Nomadland director, Chloe Zhao, born in China made history at the Golden Globe Awards, becoming the first Asian woman to ever win the prize for best director, and only the second woman to win the award the first being Barbra Streisand in 1984, and created a huge inspiration for young Asian girls and a win for women everywhere. Chole Zhao pipped Regina King and Emerald Fennell for the award.

The Best Actress with singer and first-time actress Andra Day beating hotly tipped Brit favourites like Vanessa Kirby ( Pieces of a Woman) and Carey Mulligan ( Promising Young Woman) in Drama category for her compelling role in The United States vs. Billie Holiday, Lee Daniels’ biopic of the jazz legend.

I Care A Lot’s Rosamund Pike was another surprise winner in the comedy category, beating Borat breakout star and clear favourite Maria Bakalova, and Supporting Actress win for The Mauritanian’s Jodie Foster though Foster has been widely praised for her performance.

Chadwick Boseman, The Black Panther star, who died of colon cancer aged 43 last summer, was posthumously honoured with the Best Actor in Drama award for his role in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, with his wife Taylor Simmone Leward accepting the trophy in an emotional speech.

Daniel Kaluuya won the Best Supporting Actor in a film for his turn as Black Panther leader Fred Hampton in Judas and the Black Messiah and was the first Golden Globe win for the Londoner.

In TV awards The Crown made a clean sweep victorious in every category it was nominated in, including newcomer Emma Corrin beat her co-star ( and last year’s winner) Olivia Colman to the Best Actress in TV Drama title for her scene-stealing portrayal of Princess Diana, while Gillian Anderson won the Supporting Actress for her uncanny Iron Lady Transformation.

The Netflix show was crowned Best Drama for the second time and Josh O’Connor beat to win Best Actor in a TV drama for his turn as Prince Charles. Two big wins for The Queen’s Gambit, one in the Best Limited Series category and a first Globe for lead actress Anya Taylor-Joy,
