As I promised yesterday, I'm switching from evergreen to holiday entries with this year's edition of Celebrating diversity in acting winners at the Golden Globes for MLK Day weekend. I begin with WISH-TV reporting Multicultural Spotlight Latin America represented at 2025 Golden Globe Awards.
The 82nd Golden Globe Awards, held earlier this month at The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, saw a notable but contentious moment for Latina talent. While only two Latina stars took home trophies, their success on Jan. 6 marked an important step forward for representation in Hollywood.Now for the winners, starting with Viola Davis Presents Best Female Actor – Motion Picture – Drama | 82nd Annual Golden Globes.
Viola Davis presents the Best Female Actor – Motion Picture – Drama award at the 82nd Annual Golden Globes.As Davis herself mentioned, she earned an award as well. I'll return to it at the end of the post. In the meantime, watch Fernanda Torres Wins Best Female Actor – Motion Picture – Drama | 82nd Annual Golden Globes.
Fernanda Torres wins the Best Female Actor – Motion Picture – Drama award for I'm Still Here at the 82nd Annual Golden Globes.Apparently, Torres is the first Latin American actress to win this category. Congratulations!

Torres has a chance to be nominated at the Oscars later this week and I'm Still Here made the shortlist for International Feature Film (it's among every Gold Derby editor's picks to be nominated), so she may have more honors coming. While The Critics Choice Association didn't nominate her for next month's ceremony, she has already won their Actress Award for International Film at the Critics Choice Awards Celebration of Cinema & Television. That's quite the celebration of diversity itself!
Speaking of celebrating diversity, watch Dwayne Johnson & Auli'i Cravalho Present Supporting Female Actor–Motion Picture|82nd Golden Globes.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Auli'I Cravalho present the Best Supporting Female Actor – Motion Picture award at the 82nd Annual Golden Globes.I'm sure Disney was thrilled with this pair of presenters from Moana 2.
Now watch Zoe Saldaña Wins Best Supporting Female Actor – Motion Picture | 82nd Annual Golden Globes.
Zoe Saldaña accepts the Best Supporting Female Actor – Motion Picture award for Emilia Pérez at the 82nd Annual Golden Globes.That was a moving acceptance speech and probably the longest I'll embed today other than Davis's, which was meant to be long. It was worth every second. Congratulations!

Saldaña earned nominations at the Critics Choice Awards, SAG Awards, and BAFTA Awards and is the number one pick of every Gold Derby editor for an Oscar nomination, so she'll have plenty of opportunities to accept more awards. I hope the last of those will be another Saturn Award in 2026, should she be nominated. I'm one of their voters, and I never know with them.
Those were the movie awards recognizing diverse performers. Follow over the jump for the television winners, which celebrated Shogun.
I open this part of the post with Hiroyuki Sanada Wins Best Television Male Actor – Drama Series | 82nd Annual Golden Globes.
Hiroyuki Sanada wins the Best Television Male Actor – Drama Series award for Shogun at the 82nd Annual Golden Globes.Congratulations to Sanada on winning this award, along belated kudos for winning two Emmy Awards, not only Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series but also a share of Outstanding Drama Series, as he was credited as one of the producers. He's also the number one choice of all the Gold Derby editors for the Critics Choice Award for Drama Series Actor and is nominated in two categories at the SAG Awards, so he has one more award for this role, at least for the current season.
Next, another diverse pair, Colman Domingo & Salma Hayek Pinault Present Best TV Female Actor –Drama Series | 82nd Golden Globes.
Colman Domingo and Salma Hayek Pinault present the Best Television Female Actor – Drama Series award at the 82nd Annual Golden Globes.Now watch the winner, Anna Sawai Wins Best Television Female Actor – Drama Series | 82nd Annual Golden Globes.
Anna Sawai wins the Best Television Female Actor – Drama Series award for Shogun at the 82nd Annual Golden Globes.That was as brief as Saldaña's was long. That's O.K. Like Sanada, she's almost certain to earn another trophy at the Critics Choice Award, as she's the number one pick of nine of ten Gold Derby editors for this role in addition to being nominated for a supporting role in Pachinko. She'll probably win at least one statuette at the SAG Awards, where she's nominated in two categories. I'm not as confident that she'll win a Saturn Award, even though I would have voted for her. Right actress, wrong role. Just the same, congratulations both for the Golden Globe and Emmy!
Now for the final winning actor from Shogun, Tadanobu Asano Wins Best Supporting Male Actor – Television | 82nd Annual Golden Globes.
Tadanobu Asano accepts the Best Supporting Male Actor – Television award for Shogun at the 82nd Annual Golden Globes.What enthusiasm! Congratulations on winning the Golden Globe! This partially makes up for missing the Emmy, but Asano can expect to win the Critics Choice Award, as eight of ten Gold Derby editors have picked him to pick up the statuette in February. Like his co-stars, he's also nominated for two SAG Awards. Good luck (or break a leg, as the case may be).

Asian and Asian-American representation on television at the Golden Globes didn't stop at Shogun. Watch as Ali Wong Wins Best Stand-Up Comedian on Television | 82nd Annual Golden Globes.
Ali Wong accepts the Best Stand-Up Comedian on Television award for "Ali Wong: Single Lady" at the 82nd Annual Golden Globes.Congratulations to Wong for her second Golden Globe in as many years, as she won last year for Beef.

As I promised near the top of the post, I'm concluding the awards portion by sharing Viola Davis Accepts the Cecil B. DeMille Award | 82nd Annual Golden Globes.
Viola Davis receives the prestigious Cecil B. DeMille Award at the 82nd Annual Golden Globes.I'd say congratulations on the EGGOT, except that Davis already has a Golden Globe for Fences. Still, well deserved!
Stay tuned as I follow through with my promise in Some of my favorite bands at the 2025 Rose Parade for New Year's Day.
I will be showcasing JSU on MLK Day for The Norfolk State University Spartan Legion at the Rose Parade for MLK Day two years ago. There is something else happening that day that I'm pointedly ignoring, much as I did in 2017.That's my plan and I'm sticking to it.
