Where to find Golden Globe winners
This year’s nominations were quirky and the broadcast rocky. But the winners themselves were solid across the board, and every winning film and series is worth a watch, if you haven’t caught them yet. Here’s where to stream all the Golden Globe-winning films and series, by streaming service.
Hulu
Oscar front-runner Chloe Zhao made history as only the second woman to win the Best Director prize (the first was Barbra Streisand, in 1983), with her sensitively realized road film “Nomadland,” starring Frances Mcdormand. “Nomadland” also took home the Best Picture, Drama statue as well.
Also on Hulu, the just-released “The United States vs. Billie Holiday,” the film for which Andra Day won the Best Actress, Drama Film Golden Globe, shocking many viewers.
Amazon Prime
In the Musical or Comedy movie category, the outre mockumentary sequel “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” took the top prize for Best Picture, while star Sacha Baron Cohen won best Best Actor. Co-star Maria Bakalova was nominated for her daring performance, but unfortunately did not win.
Also on Amazon Prime, John Boyega won the Best Supporting Actor, Television award, for his role in “Red, White and Blue,” the third installment of Steve Mcqueen’s “Small Axe” film anthology.
Netflix
Of all the streamers, Netflix took home the most gold. Scott Frank’s stylish ’60s-set chess series “The Queen’s Gambit” won both best Limited Series and Best Actress, Limited Series for star Anya Taylor-joy. Season four of the English Royals drama series
“The Crown” swept the TV Drama category, with Josh O’connor and Emma Corrin winning Best Actor and Actress respectively, for their portrayals of Prince Charles and Princess Diana. Gillian Anderson won Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Margaret Thatcher, while the series won the overall Best TV Drama Series prize. The CBC original series “Schitt’s Creek” (which swept the Emmys last year) is currently streaming on Netflix, and took home Best Series, Musical or Comedy and Best Actress for Catherine O’hara.
On the film side at Netflix, the late Chadwick Boseman won Best Actor, Drama for his electric performance in George C. Wolfe’s adaptation of August Wilson’s play, “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.” Rosamund Pike surprised with her win for Best Actress, Musical or Comedy for her stark, sociopathic turn in the dark satire “I Care A Lot.”
HBO Max
Daniel Kaluuya won the Best Supporting Actor in a
Film Golden Globe for his magnetic performance as Black Panther Party leader Fred Hampton in Shaka King’s “Judas and the Black Messiah.” Best Actor in a Limited Series went to the always reliable Mark Ruffalo for his performance in the Wally Lamb adaptation “I Know This Much is True.”
Disney+
The new streaming behemoth won Best Animated Feature and Best Original Score (by Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and Jon Batiste) for the Pixar film “Soul.”
Apple TV+
The incredibly funny and deeply warm-hearted “Ted Lasso” has been a balm to the soul in these times, and star/creator Jason Sudeikis appropriately won Best Actor for this delightful comedy series.
Premium Video on Demand
Lee Isaac Chung’s moving, and very American, film “Minari” was confusingly slotted into the Foreign Language category, because the film, which follows a Korean family establishing a farm in rural Arkansas, is largely in Korean. Regardless of the category fraud, it took the top prize, and is worth every penny of the $19.99 rental on itunes, Amazon, Youtube and anywhere else to rent films online.
This March may find us in a similar state as the last one — socially distanced, together but alone, virtually wandering among the blossoms — but it does feel comparably more charged with hope. (Remember? The thing with feathers? That perches in the soul? And sings the tune without the words? And never stops at all?)
In that spirit, and in hopes of a thaw that extends to every frozen end of our culture, here’s a spring bunch of streams to get you through to warmer weather.
Washington Performing Arts
Washington Performing Arts forges forth with two compelling new programs in its strong and steady Home Delivery Plus series. Today, Steven Banks — a saxophonist and evangelist for the horn’s deserved place in the pit — is joined by pianist Xak Bjerken and Zorá Quartet for a concert recorded Feb. 25 at Merkin Concert Hall in New York City, featuring Mozart’s Oboe Quartet in F, K.370/368b, Schumann’s Fantasiestücke, Op. 73, new works by Banks and premieres of works by Carlos Simon and Saad Haddad (co-commissioned by co-presenter Young Concert Artists). That stream is free and will be available until March 11.
And March 26, mezzo-soprano J’nai Bridges will perform “Rising, Together,” a program taping this weekend at Sixth & I, including works by Simon, Richard Danielpour, Damien Sneed, Margaret Bonds, Patrice Michaels, Xavier Montsalvatge, Florence Price and a piece composed for Bridges by Shawn Okpebholo. That stream is ticketed ($20) and available through April 1. washingtonperformingarts.org.
Celebrating RBG’S 88th Birthday
Would that Supreme Court justice and lifelong opera lover Ruth Bader Ginsburg were still with us, we’d be celebrating her 88th birthday this month.
On March 15 at 8 p.m., Opera Philadelphia (in partnership with the National Museum of American Jewish History and the Lowell Milken Center for Music of American Jewish Experience at the University of California at Los Angeles’s Herb Alpert School of Music) will present “For the Love of Opera: Celebrating RBG’S 88th Birthday,” a streaming (and on-demand) celebration of Ginsburg’s favorite music. Tenor Joshua Blue, baritone Norman Garrett, sopranos Michelle Rice and Ashley Marie Robillard will perform arias by Verdi, Mozart, Puccini, Donizetti and more, accompanied by pianists Stephen Karr and Grant Loehnig. The program will also feature UCLA Director of Opera Peter Kazaras, WNO Artistic Director Francesca Zambello and tenor Lawrence Brownlee — who shared the stage with Ginsburg in WNO’S 2016 production of Donizetti’s “La Fille du Régiment.” nmajh.org.
National Symphony Orchestra
And as our minds hover around the Kennedy Center, if you listen closely, you can hear the sweet sound of maestro Gianandrea Noseda having at long last reunited with members of the National Symphony Orchestra — and it feels so good. Rehearsals and tapings are underway for a four-program series of streaming concerts to be released starting this month. kennedy-center.org/nso/ home.
