The 79th annual Golden Globe Awards kicked off with a strange bang. Having not been a televised event this year, there was no red carpet, no awkward celebrity interviews, and no sparkly gowns or tuxes. But, thankfully, there were still plenty of shiny golden awards that went out to all the expected favourites. The Power of the Dog, Steven Spielberg’s musical West Side Story, and the TV series Hacks proved to be the true stars of the evening and dominated the list of acclaimed winners.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) had announced that in 2022 the Golden Globes would be a private event held out of the public eye at Beverly Hilton Hotel on Sunday, January 9, 2022. As such, cinephiles and TV enthusiasts have had to wait for the list of award winners. However, it seems like there weren’t any big surprises once the public finally saw who walked away with the trophies.
Most of the winners across both TV and film were already in the spotlight thanks to critics’ predictions and best of 2021 lists, and there were no wildcards in sight. The drama movie The Power of the Dog starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Kirsten Dunst, and West Side Story, managed to bag three awards, including Best motion picture in the drama and musical or comedy categories.
