Moonlight Wins Golden Globe for Best Picture, Drama

After steamrolling through the first six weeks of awards season with several dozen honors to its name, Moonlight won the Golden Globe for Best Picture, Drama at Sunday night’s awards ceremony. Though the movie was nominated for six awards, it didn’t win any until the final award of the night—which may have been a reason why producer Adele Romanski began her speech by saying, “I, to be honest, didn’t think this was going to happen.” Romanski and writer/director Barry Jenkins thanked the cast, the crew, distributor A24 and Tarrell McCraney, who wrote the short play from which Jenkins adapted the script for Moonlight. Jenkins spoke only briefly, acknowledging his mother: “Mom, you gave me my life, and I hope being on the stage right now is the fulfillment of the life that you gave me.” He then petitioned those who have seen the movie to tell a friend to tell a friend to tell a friend.
