'Three Billboards' and 'Lady Bird' crowned Best Picture at the 2018 Golden Globes
The votes are in, and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and Lady Bird are the best films of 2017. Well, according to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, anyway.
The two pictures took home Best Picture prizes at the 2018 Golden Globe awards ceremony tonight.
Lady Bird's win for Best Musical or Comedy was announced first. Earlier in the night, star Saoirse Ronan had picked up a Best Actress statue for her lead role in the movie.
Also nominated from the film were Greta Gerwig for Best Screenplay and Laurie Metcalf for Best Supporting Actress, but they lost out to Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri's Martin McDonagh and I, Tonya's Allison Janney, respectively.
Oddly, Gerwig was not up for Best Director. This year's field in that category turned out to be all male, as presenter Natalie Portman pointed out.
Three Billboards' Best Drama victory was announced at the end of the night, and it was one of several for the film.
Martin McDonagh lost Best Director to The Shape of Water's Guillermo del Toro, as mentioned above, and composer Carter Burwell lost Best Original Score to The Shape of Water's Alexandre Desplat.
But McDonagh did win Best Screenplay, as mentioned above. Star Frances McDormand scored Best Actress, and star Sam Rockwell got Best Supporting Actor.
