Jessie Buckley Wins Best Actress (Drama) at the Golden Globes For Her Work in Hamnet

Jessie Buckley Takes Best Actress (Drama) At the Globes

Jessie Buckley (Hamnet) has taken the Best Actress (Drama) Golden Globe which puts her in a two-way race with Rose Byrne (If I Had Legs I’d Kick You) to win the competitive award at the Oscars.

Rose Byrne and Jessie Buckley look like they’ll be going head-to-head with each other at the Academy Awards this year. While Byrne (If I Had Legs I’d Kick You) won the Best Actress Globe honors in the Comedy/Musical category, Buckley (Hamnet) took the Best Actress Golden Globe in the dramatic category. This opens up one of the most heated awards seasons in recent years as these two fine female performers will give Oscar voters a very difficult choice to make. Buckley was certainly amazing, but can she stand a chance at topping the brilliant Rose Byrne? Two very unique performances and, sadly, only one can secure an Academy Award win. This category is truly going to keep Oscar viewers on the edge of their seats all awards season long.

Best Actor (Drama) went to Wagner Moura for his absolutely stellar work in The Secret Agent. This win may help Moura’s shot at an Oscar nomination for Best Actor (which was predicted for a while now, anyway), but it will be tough for Moura to have a fighting chance against Timothée Chalamet (Marty Supreme) at the Academy Awards for a win in the category of Best Actor. Diane Lane and Colman Domingo announced the Best Actor (Drama) award tonight with Lane looking great and coming off a stellar year with her role in the wonderful and intense drama, Anniversary.

Overall, the Golden Globes offered some pleasant surprises as Sinners took the awards for Best Original Score and Cinematic and Box-Office Achievement. Michael B. Jordan (Sinners) did lose Best Actor which makes him a long-shot to have a real chance at the Academy Awards to win in his category although playing two roles should help make him almost guaranteed to garner a Best Actor Oscar nomination for himself.

One Battle After Another won the Best Picture Golden Globe in the category of Best Comedy/Musical. Hamnet took the Best Picture (Drama) Globe home and, for the most part, deservedly so. Unfortunately, for Ryan Coogler and Sinners, it doesn’t seem like the Coogler-helmed vampire movie with plenty of bite has a real shot at beating One Battle After Another in the best directing category. Where filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson is concerned (and the Best Director category at the Oscars), it looks like that top prize will, indeed, go to the renowned Anderson. It’s still anyone’s guess whether Sinners or One Battle After Another will take home the gold for Best Picture come Academy Award time. Hamnet now throws a wrench into the mix in that particular regard, now making it a three-way race for the coveted Best Picture Oscar.
