Another Golden Globe ceremony is behind us, with Nomadland and Borat Subsequent Moviefilm taking the top awards and The Crown reigning supreme in the TV categories. After a night full of surprises, these five big wins are set to change the course of the current award season.

Chloé Zhao’s Historic Win

Chloé Zhao made history as the second woman to ever win the best director Golden Globe with Nomadland, and it’s highly likely she’ll repeat the same success at the Oscars.

Andra Day’s Upset

Andra Day managed to beat the likes of Viola Davis and Frances McDormand thanks to her glorious performance in The United States vs. Billie Holiday and her Oscar chances are stronger than ever.

Chadwick Boseman’s Triumph

By this point in time, Chadwick Boseman is pretty much a lock to win a posthumous Oscar for his brilliant portrayal in the final movie of his career, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.

Supporting Actor Shakeup

In a pretty competitive supporting actor and actress lineup, latecomers are leading the way. Daniel Kaluuya managed to pull an upset with his supporting turn in Judas and the Black Messiah, and so did Jodie Foster with her performance in The Mauritanian.

“The Crown” Supreme

Not all of the big moments of the night were that surprising, and that’s the case with the triumph of The Crown. Its big wins cemented its status as the top contender at the upcoming SAG Awards and Emmys.
