<p id="fOz0s9">Sunday night at the 75th annual Golden Globes, something significant happened. Amazon’s <em>The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel</em> took home the award for Best Television Series, Musical or Comedy, while Hulu’s <em>The Handmaid’s Tale</em> won for Best Series, Drama. It was the first time streaming services won both the top television categories at the show, but the roll didn’t stop there. Stars Rachel Brosnahan and Elisabeth Moss both won for their lead performances in the two shows, and Aziz Ansari<em> </em>won the Golden Globe for Best Performance in a Television Series, Musical or Comedy for his work on Netflix’s <em>Master of None</em><em>.</em></p>

Against all odds, the 2018 Golden Globes ceremony had a little bit of bite

<p id="vdFHvp">In the weeks leading up to last night’s Golden Globes, the organized “protest” planned by the actors and creatives set to attend the ceremony seemed halfhearted at best, and at worst, downright stupid. More than 700,000 female farmworkers instigated a laudable, <a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5a446e1d692ebea0061c7cd9/t/5a5283d60852298a122eb464/1515357144562/TimesUp_Signed.pdf">coordinated campaign called Time’s Up</a> to express their solidarity with the women of Hollywood, following <a href="https://www.theverge.com/entertainment/2017/10/17/16492228/sexual-abuse-harassment-harvey-weinstein-roy-price-women-scandal">scores of revelations</a> of harassment and abuse by some of the industry’s most powerful players. And in response, 300 celebrities who planned to attend the awards said they would wear black, and also, they would wear pins. </p>
<p id="qFxIO9">For the most part, men already wear black to award shows, and unfortunately, none of them took <em>Jezebel</em>’s Hazel Cills up <a href="https://jezebel.com/instead-of-all-black-actors-protesting-sexual-harassme-1821603031">on her suggestion</a> that they should...</p>

<p id="UPklmN">Guillermo del Toro has won the 2018 Golden Globe for Best Director for his dark fantasy film <em>The Shape of Water</em>, a Cold War-era monster movie and remixed fairy tale musical, starring Sally Hawkins and Michael Shannon. </p>
<p id="CbXRnQ">Following Oprah Winfrey’s speech about the plight of women in Hollywood, Natalie Portman announced the category, pointedly saying “Here are the all-male nominees.” Only three women have been nominated for the award in the last 20 years, and <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2017/12/11/16761888/golden-globes-nominations-2018-lady-bird-greta-gerwig-patty-jenkins">this year, there were several especially notable absences</a>: Greta Gerwig, whose debut feature <em>Lady Bird</em> was nominated for Best Musical or Comedy; Sofia Coppola, who recently became the second woman to ever win Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival; and Patty Jenkins, who made one of...</p>

<p id="unLJv3">Aziz Ansari won the 2018 Golden Globe for Best Actor in a TV series, Musical or Comedy, beating out Anthony Anderson in <em>Black-ish</em>, Kevin Bacon in <em>I Love Dick</em>, William H. Macy in <em>Shameless</em>, and Eric McCormack in the recently returned <em>Will & Grace</em>. </p>
<p id="EkmonT">Ansari was previously nominated for the award in 2016, but didn’t win. He joked, “It would have really sucked to lose two of these in a row.” He then thanked the cast and crew of <em>Master of None, </em>which streams on Netflix. The series is a comedy about a 30-year-old actor’s personal and work life in New York.</p>
<p id="gGccW5">Earlier in 2017, Ansari also swept up two Emmys for his work on the show, including co-writing <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/17/16324312/master-of-none-emmys-2017-outstanding-writing-comedy-series-netflix">an especially empathetic and relatable episode</a>, “Thanksgiving,” with fellow actor Lena Waithe.</p>

<p id="JKGxAi"><em>Coco</em><em> </em>will be taking home 2018’s Golden Globe for Best Animation Motion Picture. The Pixar film won out over a field of other animated films, including <em>Loving Vincent</em>, <em>The Boss Baby, Ferdinand, </em>and <em>The Breadwinner</em>. </p>
<p id="s5PqFp"><em>Coco’s </em>victory was a <a href="http://people.com/chica/golden-globes-2018-coco/">major win for the Latinx community</a>, as it’s the first Pixar film to be centered on a Mexican cultural celebration. It tells the story of an aspiring musician who has to face his family’s prejudices against music. On the Day of the Dead, he ventures into the Land of the Dead and encounters his ancestor, a legendary singer.</p>
<p id="goCikj"><em>Coco</em> took six years to produce, as members of the crew <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2017/10/18/16496756/pixar-disney-coco-mexico-city-day-dead-behind-the-scenes-featurette">traveled to Mexico</a> for research in order to gain an authentic sense of the country’s music and culture.

<p id="omCUzT">James Franco won 2018’s Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical. The award is for his portrayal of independent filmmaker and actor Tommy Wiseau in <em>The Disaster Artist</em><em>.</em> It’s a semi-fictional retelling of the production of Wiseau’s 2003 film <em>The Room</em>, popularly known as “the worst movie ever made.”</p>
<p id="8zvhyb">Franco accepted the award alongside Wiseau, while noticably body-blocking him away from taking the microphone onstage. Franco’s brother Dave, who co-starred in the film, also appeared onstage to accept the award. Franco told an anecdote about Wiseau getting stuck in traffic during the Globes 15 years ago, and stating in frustration that he was unwilling to “wait for Hollywood,” and was simply going to make his dream movie on his own. </p>
