Jessie Buckley <\/a>has, as expected, won best actress in a drama at the Golden Globe Awards<\/a> for her acclaimed performance as Agnes Shakespeare in Chlo\u00e9 Zhao\u2019s searing Hamnet. <\/a><\/p>\n

In a modest upset, Zhao\u2019s film snuck past Ryan Coogler\u2019s much-fancied Sinners to take the prize for best drama film. <\/a><\/p>\n

Paul Mescal,<\/a> who stars opposite Buckley as William Shakespeare in the adaptation of Maggie O\u2019Farrell\u2019s novel, failed to convert his best supporting actor nomination into a win, losing out to veteran Stellan Skarsg\u00e5rd for Joachim Trier\u2019s Sentimental Value.<\/p>\n

Buckley was her usual unpretentious self at the podium.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a normal feeling or situation to be in, but thank you, Golden Globes,\u201d the Kerrywoman told the celeb-stacked audience at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles. \u201cIt was such an extraordinary set to be part of because we were telling the story of probably the most famous Brit that ever lived. And we had a Chinese director, a lot of Irish and a mostly Polish crew.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event confirmed the unstoppable advance of Paul Thomas Anderson\u2019s One Battle After Another. The epic political comedy, inspired by Thomas Pynchon\u2019s Vineland, headed the charts with four wins: best comedy or musical, best director, best screenplay and, for Teyana Taylor, best supporting actress. <\/p>\n

\u201cMy babies are upstairs watching. Y\u2019all better be off them damn phones and watching me,\u201d Taylor joked through tears. <\/p>\n

The increasingly international colour of the Globes was demonstrated by a win in best drama actor for the Brazilian actor Wagner Moura from Kleber Mendon\u00e7a Filho\u2019s tense, complex political drama The Secret Agent. Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet won best comedy actor for playing an insufferable table tennis prodigy in Josh Safdie\u2019s Marty Supreme.<\/p>\n

Buckley\u2019s win confirms her as strong favourite for best actress at the upcoming Academy Awards, but she will face competition from the rising Rose Byrne. That Australian actor, who has triumphed with many critics groups, won best actress in a comedy or musical for her turn as a stressed mother in Mary Bronstein\u2019s If I had Legs I\u2019d Kick You. <\/p>\n

\u201cI want to thank my husband, Bobby,\u201d Byrne said. \u201cHe couldn\u2019t be here because we\u2019re getting a bearded dragon, and he went to a reptile expo In New Jersey.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nominations for the Oscars emerge on January 22nd. Buckley and Byrne seem certain to be up against one another in the lead actress race. Mescal is also likely to be nominated in best supporting actor. <\/p>\n

The raw British series Adolescence, a sensation early last year, scored big in the television section, with four wins including one for best limited series. Young Owen Cooper took the prize for best TV actor and, confirming himself as a Liverpool supporter, ended his speech with You\u2019ll Never Walk Alone. <\/p>\n

The Globes enjoys describing itself as \u201cparty of the year\u201d and, for the second year running, Nikki Glaser, sharp-witted host, struck a pleasing balance between mild bitchiness and showbizzy gloss. <\/p>\n

After listing Leonardo DiCaprio\u2019s achievements, she noted \u201cthe most impressive thing is that you were able to accomplish all of that before your girlfriend turned 30.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jessie Buckley has, as expected, won best actress in a drama at the Golden Globe Awards for her…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":280505,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[75],"tags":[15770,18,117,119462,19,17,24510,73038,23432],"class_list":{"0":"post-280504","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-chloe-zhao","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-golden-globes","12":"tag-ie","13":"tag-ireland","14":"tag-jessie-buckley","15":"tag-maggie-o-farrell","16":"tag-paul-mescal"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115880932410751126","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280504","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=280504"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280504\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/280505"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=280504"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=280504"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=280504"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
