The complete list of winners at the 2021 Golden Globes

Welcome to the 2021 Golden Globe Awards!

It's a different kind of year for the Globes, with nominees taking part in a trimmed-down, bi-coastal ceremony and socially distanced viewers tuning in from across our pandemic-era world. But with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler back for their fourth time as hosts and the categories as stacked as ever, this should still be one memorable night for entertainment professionals and fans alike.

So, who will walk away with the wins? As decided by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (which, uh, has some issues), here is the full list of nominees and winners, updating live, during the 78th Golden Globe Awards ceremony — airing Sunday, Feb. 28 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on NBC.
