The 78th annual Golden Globe Awards took place on a later date than usual on Sunday night and as a virtual ceremony due to the pandemic. But it was worth the wait, with plenty of laughs, surprises, glitz and glamour on display.
Ever-popular comedians Tina Fey, 50, and Amy Poehler, 49, hosted the event together for the fourth time, albeit from New York City’s Rockefeller Center and Los Angeles’ Beverly Hilton Hotel respectively this time around.
Notable award winners on the night included actress and activist Jane Fonda, 83, who received the Cecil B. DeMille Award for her lifetime of achievement. In her acceptance speech, Fonda called for more inclusion in Hollywood’s storytelling ranks.
The iconic star also recycled her outfit – a tailored white pantsuit with silver heels – after pledging in 2019 to not buy any more new clothes as part of her commitment to raising awareness of climate change. In a recent interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Fonda said, “We spend too much money, we buy too many things, and then we get rid of them. We try to develop our identity by shopping, right? We gotta stop that – stop all this consumerism.”
