An early happy and contemplative MLK Day, when I have examined diversity in visual media since 2015! I'm continuing that tradition today by looking at the diverse winners of the movie and TV categories at the 81st Golden Globe Awards.* The Hollywood Reporter has the highlights.
Plenty of white people roles (nine among the 14 acting races) continued to win awards at the 2024 Golden Globes, but there were a handful of exceptions, including two firsts in the ceremony’s 81-year history.Congratulations to all the winners! Follow over the jump for their acceptance speeches and a postmortem on Gold Derby predicts a good night for 'Barbie,' 'Oppenheimer,' 'Succession,' 'The Bear,' and 'Beef' at the Golden Globes.
Lily Gladstone became the first Indigenous person to receive a Golden Globe, portraying the real-life Osage woman married to a murderer in Killers of the Flower Moon. “This is for every little res kid, every little urban kid, every little Native kid out there who has a dream, who is seeing themselves represented and our stories told by ourselves, in our own words,” said the best actress in a motion picture, drama winner, who opened her acceptance speech introducing herself in the Blackfeet language.
Meanwhile, Ali Wong added “best actress in a limited series” to the list of categories that have had at least one winner of Asian descent. Her win was part of a sweep for limited series winner Beef, with lead actor Steven Yeun and creator Lee Sung Jin adding to the tally of Asian winners, which also included legendary Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki, who won best animated feature for his final film, The Boy and the Heron. The Studio Ghibli movie is the first non-English language film to win in the category.
The other two nonwhite Globe winners in 2024 are both Black women: Da’Vine Joy Randolph won best supporting actress in a motion picture for The Holdovers, while Ayo Edebiri won best actress in a television musical or comedy for The Bear. “The beauty is that all the time I poured into my crafts and all the sleepless nights I had to think about how I contribute to this industry as a woman of color has been worth it,” Randolph said backstage after her win.
I begin the acceptance speeches with Lily Gladstone Wins Best Female Actor – Motion Picture – Drama I 81st Annual Golden Globes.
Lily Gladstone wins the Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama award for Killers of the Flower Moon at the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards.Gladstone should take home another trophy tonight at the Critics Choice Awards, as nine of eleven editors and eight of twelve experts are picking her to win over Emma Stone.
Next, the other movie actress of color to win a Golden Globe and the first award recipient at last Sunday's ceremony.
Watch as Da'Vine Joy Randolph Wins Best Supporting Female Actor – Motion Picture 81st Annual Golden Globes.
Da'Vine Joy Randolph accepts the Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture award for "The Holdovers" at the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards.Hey, it's Angela Bassett among the presenters! I voted for you!
Like Gladstone, Randolph is favored to win the equivalent award at the Critics Choice Awards tonight with eleven of twelve experts and ten of eleven editors picking her.
The Golden Globes don't have a clip of Miyazaki accepting the award, so here's a Twitter image celebrating The Boy and the Heron that includes his picture.
I covered Animated Film in 'Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3' leads Best Superhero Film nominees at the Saturn Awards.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse also leads the nominations at the Critics Choice awards and Golden Globes with three, while Elemental and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem are only nominated for Animated Film at the Critics Choice Awards and The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Suzume joining Elemental and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse at the Golden Globes. That makes Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse the clear professional choice. Gold Derby's editors cement it as the leader, with seven of eight picking it to win the Critics Choice Award and eight of ten choosing it to win the Golden Globe. The dissenting editor in both groups is Gold Derby's animation expert, Charles Bright, who thinks The Boy and the Heron will win instead.Eight of eleven editors, including Charles Bright, are now picking Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse to three predicting The Boy and the Heron to win tonight. The sentiment is shifting, but not by much.
Moving on to television, here's a Twitter image celebrating all three of Beef's Golden Globes.
Now the acceptance speeches for Beef, beginning with "Beef" Wins Best Limited Series, Anthology Series or Television Motion Picture I 81st Golden Globes.
"Beef" wins Best Television Limited Series, Anthology Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television at the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards.Next, Ali Wong Wins Best Female Actor Limited/Anthology Series or TV Movie I 81st Annual Golden Globes.

I conclude the acceptance speeches with Ayo Edebiri Wins Best Television Female Actor – Musical/Comedy Series I 81st Annual Golden Globes.
Ayo Edebiri wins the Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy award for "The Bear" at the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards.That was fun to watch, but I hope she's a little calmer tonight and tomorrow at the Emmy Awards while maintaining her enthusiasm.
I'm sharing one of the Twitter images celebrating her Golden Globe before the postmortem.
Now to review the predictions in Gold Derby predicts a good night for 'Barbie,' 'Oppenheimer,' 'Succession,' 'The Bear,' and 'Beef' at the Golden Globes beginning with the television categories.
Best Television Series, Drama: Succession. Yes.
Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Series, Drama: Kieran Culkin (Succession) or Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us). Kieran Culkin.
Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series, Drama: Sarah Snook (Succession). Yes.

The first part of my forecast came true.
We viewers could watch a triple sweep of Succession, The Bear, and Beef Sunday night with only the winner of Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role on Television breaking the triple streak. We should get used to that, because it could happen twice more at the Critics Choice Awards and Primetime Emmy Awards on the 14th and 15th.Yay! Let's see if those predictions work for part two tonight and part three on Monday.
Now the movie predictions.

Eight TV predictions were completely correct, three counted as half correct, and one complete miss, so 9.5 out of 12 for 79.2% accuracy. Seven movie predictions completely correct, seven counted as half correct, and one complete miss, so 10.5 out of 15 for 70%. Overall, the total is 20 out of 27 for 74.1%. Not bad and comparable to the 18 of 23 or 78.3% for the 2023 Academy Awards. Not bad, so I'll keep using Gold Derby for predicting award winners.
I'm going to try to put together a post featuring diversity among Creative Arts Emmy Award winners in front of the camera or microphone next. Stay tuned.
*I'm observing the holiday early because the Iowa Caucuses are tomorrow. Besides, it makes for a good Sunday entertainment feature.
