During the 2021 Golden Globes, "The Crown" reigned supreme across film and television.

Heading into the night with six nominations, "The Crown" won four trophies, including the best drama series, as well as wins for stars Emma Corrin, Josh O'Connor and Gillian Anderson.

On the film side, "Mank" led the pack with six nominations, but the movie walked away empty-handed. Instead, it was a three-way tie between "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm," "Nomadland" and "Soul," with each winning twice.

This year's show marked the first time a Golden Globes ceremony has been broadcast live from two coasts, with host Tina Fey in New York City and host Amy Poehler in Los Angeles. The decision to go bicoastal was made after the Hollywood Foreign Press Association already postponed the 78th annual Golden Globes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In their opening monologue, Fey and Poehler criticized the lack of diversity within the HFPA itself.

For the first time, a majority of nominees in the best director category were women, with three snagging nominations: Emerald Fennell for "Promising Young Woman," Regina King for "One Night in Miami" and Chloe Zhao for "Nomadland." Zhao won, becoming just the second woman to ever win the award.

Hollywood legends Norman Lear and Jane Fonda were honored at the ceremony, with Lear receiving the Carol Burnett Award and Fonda receiving the Cecil B. DeMille Award. In their speeches, Fonda championed diversity, and Lear said he "could not feel more blessed."
