Golden Globes ’21 shine in lockdown style stakes
THE 78th version of the 2021 Golden Globes for televised series and movies was unusual, the ceremony delayed for two months due to the pandemic and resulting in the first ever bi-coastal event in California and New York City.
Tina Fey hosted live from New York’s Rainbow Room while co-host Amy Poehler was in the awards’ traditional home at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills California in front of socially distanced audiences. Instead of a room filled with celebrities, however, there were first responders, essential workers and members from Feeding America, the change in attending guests made to include the people who are normally on the front lines of the pandemic.
“Normally this room is filled with celebrities but tonight our audience on both coasts is made up of smoking hot First Responders and essential workers,” explained Tina Fey. “We are so grateful for the work (they) do and that (they were) here.”
Meanwhile celebrities at home, nominated for this year’s awards ran the gamut of style from couture to definitely dressed down with Emma Corrin in an extravagant look that would have been just as stunning as the actress’s Princess Diana-inspired costumes from ‘The Crown’. There was Elle Fanning from ‘The Great’ tuning in from London in a custom Gucci gown that cast her voluptuous corset dresses into deep shadow, and ‘One Night In Miami’ director Regina King in a one-shoulder St John maxi dress. January Jones and Laverne Cox wore red while Sarah Hyland, who also wore red managing to find a red carpet.
‘The Crown’, Chadwick Boseman, ‘Borat’ and ‘Schitt’s Creek’ all took home awards while Jane Fonda received the Cecil B deMille award for outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment. The late great Sean Connery was acknowledged In Memoriam for his role as the iconic James Bond as well as his extensive body of work that began with the London West End production of ‘South Pacific’ while Norman Lear was presented with the Carol Burnett Award for outstanding contributions to television on or off the screen.
