(CNN) The 78th Golden Globe Awards underwent a rocky evening technically while fleetingly seeking to address the controversy rocking the organization behind the ceremony, in a pandemic-dictated format that saw streaming dominate the movie awards and an emotional posthumous win by actor Chadwick Boseman. Although they honor both movies and TV , the Globes are watched most closely as a bellwether for the Academy Awards. In television, Netflix's "The Crown" looked regal by being anointed best drama for the second time (the last coming in 2017). The nominations underscored the weirdness of this year's awards process, with many movie theaters closed and streaming services, especially Netflix, occupying an expanded role. Politics, not surprisingly, entered the ceremony, with Cohen jokingly thanking his "co-star," Rudy Giuliani, before adding, "Donald Trump is contesting the result."
