The Golden Globes usually pop off a surprise or two, and Sunday they continued the tradition in some marquee categories.
The most notable upset was Andra Day, in her first acting role, winning Actress in Motion Picture – Drama for Hulu’s The United States vs. Billie Holiday and taking a strong category that included Viola Davis, Vanessa Kirby and frontrunners Frances McDormand and Carey Mulligan.
Other surprises tonight were easy to spot: Even the winners themselves were shocked to hear their names called.
Day’s reaction was equaled that of Jodie Foster, who won for STX films’ The Mauritanian. It was the third Golden Globe for the two-time Oscar winner — her last win for for The Silence of the Lambs came in 1992. Globes organizer the Hollywood Foreign Press Association gave Foster its career achievement honor, the Cecil B. DeMille Award, in 2013.
“I think you made a mistake. I’m a little speechless.
