USA-CINEMA-GOLDEN-GLOBES: “The Power of the Dog” and “West Side Story” awarded at the Golden Globes
LOS ANGELES (Archyde.com) – The western “The Power of the Dog” and the remake of “West Side Story” were honored Sunday at a Golden Globes ceremony held behind closed doors.
Actors, directors and studios have largely shunned the Golden Globes this year, following criticism in 2021 that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which hosts the event, was enforcing policies. questionable and had no black members. Longtime Golden Globes broadcaster NBC has chosen not to televise the ceremony this year.
The HFPA, which has diversified its membership roster and revised its practices, announced the awards at a closed-door ceremony in Beverly Hills. The winners were announced on social media and on the Golden Globes website.
The remake of “West Side Story” directed by Steven Spielberg won three trophies in total, including Best Musical or Comedy and Best Actress for Rachel Zegler.
The western “The Power of the Dog” also won three awards, including Best Director for Jane Campion, who becomes the third woman to receive the award for best director.
In the past, winning a Golden Globes gave Oscar nominations a boost. Their impact is uncertain this year, however, as few celebrities have given notice of their nomination.
