‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ wins big at the 76th Golden Globe Awards

The 76th Golden Globe Awards just ended (that’s Sunday night in Los Angeles) and with that heralded the start of the coveted Hollywood award season. However, while it was a night full of stars, it was the number of shock-winners which grabbed the most attention.

Starting off the night with predictable wins such as Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse for the Best Motion Picture – Animated and Darren Criss for The Assassination of Gianni Versace in the Best Performance by an Actor in a Limited Series category, the night went on to see Queen biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody walk away with the marquee prize of Best Motion Picture – Drama. Its star Rami Malek took the Best Actor trophy for playing the band’s late singer Freddie Mercury.

Coming as a shock for most critics who loathed the film on its release globally, it was a major night for the film and its crew as they counted their first win at a major award show this year.

On the other hand, the night was also puzzling for Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper starrer A Star is Born, which ended up winning fewer awards than expected with only the Best Original Song – Motion Picture category in its support.

Apart from the major winners, the night’s biggest win had to be for Mexican filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón, who won Best Director – Motion Picture for his critically-acclaimed film, Roma.
