Emma gives her Crowning glory the chop
Star goes blonde as she hopes for Globes glory
IT’S the royal role that landed her a Golden Globe nomination.
And Emma Corrin took a leaf out of Princess Diana’s stylebook as she stepped out with a blonde cropped hairdo ahead of the awards ceremony which took place overnight in the US.
The normally dark-haired 25-year-old is one of several British stars leading the way this awards season. She was pictured with a shorter hairstyle while walking her dog Spencer in London at the weekend.
She will have been hoping to reign victorious with her first ever award nomination when she went head-to-head with her co-star Olivia Colman, who plays the Queen in Netflix show The Crown, for best actress in a drama series.
Also pictured out and about was a relaxed Anya Taylor-Joy, who was spotted pausing to light a cigarette in Los Angeles at the weekend.
The 24-year-old is also a rival in the best actress in a drama series category for her role as chess champion Beth Harmon in Netflix hit The Queen’s Gambit.
She is also nominated in the film category for her role in Emma which will see her pitted against Rosamund Pike for I Care A Lot.
Last night’s Globes ceremony took place virtually because of the pandemic, with American comedians Tina Fey and Amy Poehler

As well as Miss Colman, who won for The Crown last year, Miss Corrin was up against fellow newcomer Daisy Edgar-Jones, nominated for the BBC adaptation of Sally Rooney’s novel Normal People. Other cast members of The Crown up for awards included Josh O’Connor, who plays Prince Charles, Gillian Anderson for her role as Margaret Thatcher, and Helena BonhamCarter, who was Princess Margaret.
Vanessa Kirby and Carey Mulligan were both contenders for best actress in a drama motion picture with Miss Kirby nominated for her turn in Pieces Of A Woman and Miss Mulligan for Emerald Fennell’s Promising Young Woman.
Miss Fennell, American Regina King and Chinese filmmaker Chloe Zhao were all up for best director in a first for the awards, which has never had more than one woman nominated in the category.
Sacha Baron Cohen had a double nomination – for Borat Subsequent Moviefilm and The Trial Of The Chicago Seven. Riz Ahmed was up against Mank’s Gary Oldman and The Father’s Sir Anthony Hopkins for his film Sound Of Metal in the best actor in a motion picture category.
Actor James Corden was nominated for his role in musical The Prom and went up against Dev Patel for his role in The Personal History of David Copperfield.
Lily Collins, whose father is drummer Phil Collins, was nominated for Netflix drama Emily In Paris which came under fire after Michaela Coel was snubbed for her BBC hit I May Destroy You. This year’s crop of British talent were hoping to match the success of last year’s event when Sir Sam Mendes and Sir Elton John received two awards each for First World War epic 1917 and biopic Rocketman, respectively. Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s sitcom Fleabag also took home two prizes.
Amanda Seyfried, Margot Robbie and Ben Stiller were among the glitzy roster of celebrity presenters announcing the winners, as well as Israeli actress and Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot.
