Golden Globe: West Side Story and The Power of the Dog win challenging events
West Side Story and The Power of the Dog was the big winners of Sunday's muted Golden Globe Awards ceremony. This year's event was cut short - it took place without a celebrity present, and the ceremony was not even broadcast on television.
The reluctance of this year's event was followed by accusations of corruption and a lack of diversity in the electoral body. As a result, it happened in Los Angeles with no red carpet or official press access.

Steven Spielberg's classic 1961 film West Side Story won the best musical or best comedy award, while its two stars, Rachel Zegler and Ariana DeBoz, won the acting award.
Although neither of them attended in person, both actresses mentioned their win on Twitter, with DeBoz also acknowledging the controversy surrounding the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA).
"There's still a SO MUCH to be done, but when you've worked so hard on a project – covered in blood, sweat, tears, and love – work that is seen and recognized is always special. Thank you," tweeted DeBose.
Zegler added, "I landed the role of Maria in West Side Story on January 9, 2019. And I just won a Golden Globe for the same achievement on January 9, 2022. Life is so weird."
