It may be an honor to be nominated, but people usually come to Hollywood awards shows to win.
Sunday's semi-virtual and very messy Golden Globes ceremony kicked off a strange pandemic awards season in Hollywood. There were Zoom winners, masked first responders in the audience and hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler cracking jokes from stages on different coasts. And there were also a few winners celebrated for their work in film and television in 2020.
Kicking off the strangest awards season of all time, road drama "Nomadland" and mockumentary sequel "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm" took home big honors at Sunday night's glitchy Golden Globes.
In a hybrid virtual/in-person ceremony hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, "Nomadland" won best drama and director (Chloe Zhao), while the "Borat" sequel nabbed best comedy and top actor in a comedy or musical (Sacha Baron Cohen). In the other drama categories, Andra Day ("The United States vs. Billie Holiday") was named best actress and the late Chadwick Boseman ("Ma Rainey's Black Bottom") received best actor honors, while "I Care A Lot" star Rosamund Pike won best actress in a comedy or musical.
ALBANY, N.Y. – Gov. Andrew Cuomo apologized Sunday for any comments that have made female aides feel uncomfortable after accusations of sexual harassment have upended his administration, fueling an investigation and calls that he resign.
The embattled Democratic governor issued a statement Sunday saying he intended his interactions with co-workers as playful and not aimed at being insensitive or flirtatious.
ORLANDO, Fla. – Donald Trump reentered political life Sunday by attacking President Joe Biden, condemning Republican opponents and proclaiming himself the leader of a GOP riven by election defeats and the pro-Trump insurrection at the U.S. Capitol in January.
"Do you miss me yet?" Trump asked the Conservative Political Action Conference after taking the stage more than an hour after his scheduled start time. "A lot of things going on."
The United States ended an historically deadly month for avalanches with an apparent near-miss in Alaska's capital city.
Officials in Juneau braced for "historic avalanches" this weekend as the city's urban avalanche forecast reached "extreme" danger, leading to evacuations of some residents in a particularly danger-prone area on Saturday night.
Bu Sunday, however, City Emergency Programs Manager Tom Mattice offered a measure of reassuring news in the day's advisory report.
Johnson & Johnson began distributing its vaccine Sunday, adding a third weapon to the country's COVID-19 arsenal. An advisory committee to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention voted unanimously to recommend the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine on Sunday. CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky signed off on the recommendation soon afterward. The Johnson & Johnson shot was authorized Friday by the Food and Drug Administration for people 18 and older. It requires only one dose and does not have to be frozen. Johnson & Johnson said it began shipping its COVID-19 vaccine Sunday and expects to deliver enough single-shot vaccines by the end of March.
Well, that was something. Sunday’s Golden Globes were even more unpredictable and chaotic than usual, thanks in large part to the show’s hybrid virtual format. The three-hour ceremony was plagued by frequent sound issues and awkward small talk between nominees over Zoom, with fashion ranging from jaw-dropping gowns (Amanda Seyfried) to tie-dye hoodies (Jason Sudeikis). The telecast felt even more casual than years past, as nominees appeared from their homes with friends, partners, kids and dogs, and some imbibed throughout the event. (“Mank” director David Fincher could be seen taking shots when his film lost.)
WASHINGTON – Eduardo Sainz was standing at the front door of a home in Tucson, Arizona, encouraging the family inside to vote when the young man and his mom asked for a favor that under the state’s current law would make him a felon.
Sainz, state director of the Latino advocacy group Mi Familia Vota, said neither the young man, who was in a wheelchair, nor his mother had a car or the time needed to mail their ballots before Arizona’s gubernatorial election in 2014. They asked Sainz to drop off their ballots on his way home – and he agreed.
