Instead, a pair of big-screen epics took top honors Sunday, as Sam Mendes’ technically dazzling World War I tale 1917 won best picture, drama, and Quentin Tarantino’s radiant Los Angeles fable Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood won best film, comedy or musical. 1917 also won best director for Mendes. Gervais also argued that Netflix had taken over Hollywood, given the streaming service’s commanding 34 nominations, in film and TV, coming into the Globes. Mendes’ best director ‘prize bested the likes of Martin Scorsese (The Irishman), Tarantino and Bong Joon Ho (Parasite). Gervais opened the 77th Golden Globes by declaring movies irrelevant, pretending to confuse Joe Pesci for Baby Yoda, calling the Hollywood Foreign Press Association racist and declaring Netflix’s takeover of Hollywood complete.
