Los Angeles (US): Monday started on a great note for actors Will Smith and Nicole Kidman who bagged top honours at the 79th Golden Globes. Kidman won a Golden Globe for her powerful portrayal of Lucille Ball in Being the Ricardos while Will took home his maiden Golden Globe for his role of Richard Williams in the 2021 movie King Richard.
The nominations for the 79th Golden Globes were announced on December 13, 2021. Various media organizations including US broadcaster NBC, and streaming giants like Netflix, Amazon, and Warner Media are boycotting the ceremony over the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's (HFPA) lack of action to increase the membership diversity of the organization.
The HFPA is holding the ceremony in private and the winners are being announced online.
