The awards season started.

In keeping with the pandemic times, the 78th edition of the

Golden Globe Awards

was extraordinary in its atypical nature.

To begin with, they were strange in both time and space.

It is that the date was strange: they always take place at the beginning of January.

And it was the first time in history that they were broadcast from more than one place.

In the lounge of the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles was one of the two hosts, Amy Poehler, while the other host,

Tina Fey

, broadcast live from the East Coast, from The Rainbow Room, on top of Rockefeller Center , In New York.

The comedians were once again responsible for the presentation and animation after they did so in 2013, 2014 and 2015, in three interventions much remembered for the high doses of acidity they put in each of their opening speeches.

Tina Fey, from New York, and Amy Poehler, from Beverly Hills, were the presenters.

And they began as a duo, very synchronized despite the fact that thousands of kilometers separated them.

Screen split through, they seemed to be in the same place.

And they did the expected gag: Fey reached out to caress Poehler, and an arm appeared from the other side touching the blonde.

In their affiliate duo monologue, they included a stick for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), organizing the awards: they said it consisted of "about 90 white members."

It should be remembered that the entity came to the gala involved in a controversy.

The Los Angeles Times newspaper published a detailed investigation into the sectarian logic of the 87 members of the Association, who have practically life positions, and receive perks of all kinds in exchange for nominations and awards.

Daniel Kaluuya, the first winner of the night.

Laura Dern was in charge of presenting the first prize.

Daniel Kaluuya fulfilled the predictions and was voted best supporting actor by Judas and the Black Messiah.

Soon the first blooper of the night arrived: the connection was cut and Dern had to apologize.

But immediately the situation was reversed and the actor was able to thank.

Angela Basset presented the award for best supporting actor in a series, which was another nod to the black community and another sung award.

This time the chosen one was John Boyega for his work on Small Ax.

Thus, the Golden Globes tried to settle the accusations of racism that plagued them in the past.

Christian Slater announced the award for best actress in a comedy series.

And again the favorite was the favored: it was Catherine O'Hara, by Schitt's Creek.

The actress and the series had already been awarded at the Emmys.

Pixar / Disney hit Soul took home the award for best animated film.

And immediately three members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association appeared to promise that the entity, in the future, will be diverse and include all minorities.
