After a tumultuous 2020 to say the least, the 2021 film awards season has finally kicked off with this year’s Golden Globes presentation, hosted by comedians Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Winning the first big award of the season is Chloe Zhao’s Nomadland, which walked away with Best Picture Drama, courtesy of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. The five nominees for the award this year included The Father, Mank, Nomadland, Promising Young Woman, and The Trial of the Chicago 7.

Moments prior to the Best Picture announcement, Zhao also won Best Director for the movie, which features Frances McDormand as a 60-something woman who loses everything in the Great Recession, forcing to live throughout America as a nomad.
