Various LGBTQIA+ stories and queer talent were honoured at last night’s Golden Globe Awards.
For this year’s festivities, comedian Nikki Glaser led the memorable night, which featured appearances by Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Andrew Garfield, and Kate Winslet.
Alongside the show’s star-studded roster, the evening was also filled with an array of LGBTQIA+ winners.
Netflix’s hit black comedy slash thriller Baby Reindeer won the award for Best Television Limited Series, Anthology Series or Motion Picture Made for Television.
Jessica Gunning also nabbed the Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Television Series award for her critically acclaimed portrayal of Martha in the series.
“This is an absolute honour, honestly. There’s a video of me when I was little, I was about eight-years-old, and my mom and dad got me a hamster for Christmas, and they brought it out… and I just kept saying, ‘I can’t believe this is happening to me, I can’t believe this is happening to me,'” Gunning said during her acceptance speech.
“And I realized this morning that it has been a kind of soundtrack for my life for this year since Baby Reindeer came out. I cannot believe any of this is happening to me. So I just want to say thank you to everyone who let me come on this journey.”
Max’s critically acclaimed comedy Hacks won the Golden Globe for Best Television Series—Musical or Comedy, and Jean Smart also won for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series—Musical or Comedy.
Wicked secured the trophy for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement.
The Jon M Chu-directed film deserved the award, considering it recently became the highest-grossing Broadway adaptation globally, earning over $700 million.
The film that previously held the record was 2008’s Mamma Mia!, which earned $610 million worldwide.
Jodie Foster took home her fourth Golden Golden Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Limited Series, Anthology Series or Motion Picture Made for Television for her work in HBO’s True Detective: Night Country.
However, the biggest LGBTQIA+ winner of the night was the musical slash thriller Emilia Pérez, which won the awards for Best Motion Picture—Musical or Comedy, Best Motion Picture—Non-English Language, and Best Original Song.
While accepting the Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy award, the film’s star, trans actress Karla Sofía Gascón, delivered a powerful speech about perseverance and identity.
“I chose these colours tonight, the Buddhist colours, because I have a message for you. The light always wins over darkness,” she exclaimed.
“You can maybe put us in jail, you can beat us up, but you never can take away our soul, our existence, our identity. I want to say to you: Raise your voice for freedom. I am who I am, not who you want. Thank you so much.”
