73rd Golden Globes Winners Include Veterans of Stage
The 2016 award film and television award season kicked off last night with the 73rd Golden Globes, hosted with a sharp-tongued Ricky Gervais.
Samuel French is particularly proud of several of our playwrights, whose shows and films were nominated. “Casual” (playwright Shelia Callaghan), “Orange is the New Black” (playwrights Nick Jones and Jordan Harrison), and “Carol” (playwright Phyllis Nagy) were nominated for Best Television Series and Best Motion Picture — Drama, respectively. “Mozart in the Jungle” (playwright Rachel Axler) took home the Globe for Best Television Series, while Aaron Sorkin nabbed the Globe for Best Screenplay — Motion Picture for “Steve Jobs.”
These films and television series, as well as “Spotlight,” were packed with Broadway actors. Stage stars who garnered Golden Globe nods include Al Pacino, Viola Davis, Mark Rylance, Lily Tomlin, Alan Cumming, Maggie Smith, Eddie Redmayne, Uzo Aduba, Patrick Stewart, Bryan Cranston, Patrick Wilson, Helen Mirren, Saoirse Ronan, Jeffrey Tambor and more.
Tom Hanks also presented actor Denzel Washington with the Cecil B. Demille Award, given annually to a talented individual who has made an incredible impact on the world of entertainment. Washington’s achievements as a performer and a filmmaker have earned him seven Golden Globe Award nominations in two categories, resulting in two wins. He’s also the recipient of two Academy Awards, two Emmy nominations, one Tony Award (for Fences in 2010), one BAFTA Award, one NAACP Image Award, and a Grammy Award for his narration of the legend of “John Henry.”
