Chloé Zhao’s drama and TV’s The Crown repeated
Golden Globes wins, though Frances McDormand lost out as best
Actress to Carey Mulligan
Nomadland boosted its position as
Oscars frontrunner and The Crown confirmed its dominance of the TV awards cycle after the pair repeated their Golden Globes success in the Critics’ Choice awards, handed out by the group for TV, radio and online critics in the US and
Canada in a largely virtual event hosted by
Actor Taye Diggs.
Nomadland, the drama about retirees roaming the US in search of work after the 2008 financial crash, won four awards, including best picture and best director for Chloé Zhao; however, Frances McDormand, long considered an Oscar favourite, lost out in the best actress category to Carey Mulligan for Promising Young Woman.
