Josh O'Connor and Emma Corrin won their first Globes with their performances as Prince Charles and Princess Diana in The Crown.

Netflix

The 2021 Golden Globes are behind us, and saw the late Chadwick Boseman score a posthumous win for his role in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. Best TV series (drama) winner The Crown swept a stack of awards, with Emma Corrin and Josh O'Connor picking up first their Globes as Princess Diana and Prince Charles. The Queen's Gambit also nabbed two well-deserved awards, for best limited series and best actress in a limited series for Anya Taylor-Joy.

I Care a Lot's Rosamund Pike won best actress (musical or comedy), and Ted Lasso's Jason Sudeikis won best actor in a TV series (musical or comedy). Borat Subsequent Moviefilm beat out Hamilton to take home best movie (musical or comedy). Chloé Zhao made history, becoming the first woman director of Asian descent to win a Golden Globe with Nomadland, which also won best movie (drama).

There were a few technical difficulties, with Catherine O'Hara of Schitt's Creek experiencing background noise during her acceptance speech. Luckily, Mark Ruffalo and John Boyega's audio worked perfectly, when they accepted acting awards for TV performances. The Trial of the Chicago 7 saw Aaron Sorkin win best screenplay.

Check out the full list of winners below.
