Nomadland, Mank, The Father, Promising Young Woman and The Trial of the Chicago 7 were up for Best Motion Picture Drama. The winner was the Frances McDormand starrer, Nomadland, and its director Chloé Zhao became only the second woman to ever win for Best Director of a Motion Picture, making it likely we’ll see some nominations for her film at the Oscars, too.
Chadwick Boseman posthumously earned the award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, and it’s probable the Academy will recognize the late Black Panther star at their ceremony as well.
Last month, his wife Taylor Simone Ledward accepted the Golden Globe on his behalf, saying, “He would say something beautiful, something inspiring, something that would amplify that little voice inside us that tells you you can, that tells you to keep going, that calls you back to what you are meant to be doing at this moment in history.”
