The glitz and glam of Hollywood’s awards season commenced with a bang as the 81st Golden Globes took centre stage Sunday night. After a tumultuous period, the show was back in prime time, boasting a fresh energy and an array of A-listers gracing the red carpet.
Last year’s controversy, which saw the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (H.F.P.A.) dissolved due to a lack of diversity among its voters, was a distant memory. With more than 300 entertainment journalists comprising the new voting body, the winners were crowned amidst an air of anticipation.
