On Sunday, Jan. 6, 2019, the curtain rose for the 76th Golden Globe Awards. The competition was tough, as 2018 had many mind-blowing movies and TV shows that were nominated.

Every year, the major categories people look out for include Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Best Performance in a Motion Picture – Drama and Best Performance in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for both actors and actresses.

Rami Malek won Best Performance in a Motion Picture – Drama for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury in “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Glenn Close also won the same award in the actress category for her performance as Joan Castleman in “The Wife.”
 
As for Best Performance in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Christian Bale claimed the award  for his role in “Vice” as Dick Cheney, while Olivia Coleman snagged the award for her role as Queen Anne in “The Favourite.”
