She was awarded best actress for her role as housemother Blanca on FX’s Pose – also bagging the first Golden Globe for the series that focuses on New York City’s queer-and trans-led 1980s ballroom culture. First appearing in the limelight at age seven – the same age at which she had “prayed to become female” – Rodriguez had already made history last year, when she became the first trans actress... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3163257/meet-michaela-jae-rodriguez-first-trans-actor-win-golden?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3163257/meet-michaela-jae-rodriguez-first-trans-actor-win-golden?utm_source=rss_feed Thu, 13 Jan 2022 19:00:20 +0000 There can be no doubt this has been the strangest awards season in the history of cinema (as well as the longest, thanks to the Oscars being forced to move to April because of the pandemic). Ordinarily, the idea of a couple of extra months’ worth of actors “campaigning” is enough to make even the most dedicated film fan weep into their copy of Vanity Fair. But this season has seen some real moments for celebration and contemplation, despite cinemas being shut all over the world for much of the... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3129353/7-oscars-2021-lessons-minari-real-winner-women-directors?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3129353/7-oscars-2021-lessons-minari-real-winner-women-directors?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 13 Apr 2021 16:15:10 +0000 March began on a sweet note for Chloé Zhao when her movie Nomadland won the top prizes of both best drama film and best director at the 2021 Golden Globes Awards – making the Chinese filmmaker the second woman and first Asian woman to win the latter category. And more success seems likely to follow, with Nomadland already tipped as a front-runner for next month’s Oscars. Zhao was already known for being the first Asian female director of a movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), with... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3125034/nomadlands-chloe-zhao-beijing-golden-globes-meet-chinese?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3125034/nomadlands-chloe-zhao-beijing-golden-globes-meet-chinese?utm_source=rss_feed Fri, 12 Mar 2021 00:00:15 +0000 https://www.scmp.com/news/article/3124264/asias-golden-globes-moment-egg-freezing-inequality-and-more?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/news/article/3124264/asias-golden-globes-moment-egg-freezing-inequality-and-more?utm_source=rss_feed Fri, 05 Mar 2021 09:37:57 +0000 Chloé Zhao made history on Sunday when she became the first woman of Asian descent to win a Golden Globe for best director. She is now considered a front-runner for an Oscar. In China, fans and media outlets were celebrating, claiming Zhao as one of their own. Social media was awash with hashtags that referred to her as “China’s first Golden Globe winner.” “The pride of China!” proclaimed the Global Times tabloid. But the celebratory mood was quickly dampened by questions over Zhao’s nationality... https://www.scmp.com/identity/chloe-zhao-golden-globe-nomadland-china/article/3124077?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/identity/chloe-zhao-golden-globe-nomadland-china/article/3124077?utm_source=rss_feed Thu, 04 Mar 2021 15:50:09 +0000 A Chinese film director has made history as the first Asian woman – and second woman ever – to win the best director award. As accolades poured in from around the world for Chloé Zhao, the 38-year-old’s stepmother Song Dandan – a well-known actress in China – described her as legend in their family whose win would inspire countless Chinese children. Zhao won the best director gong for her film Nomadland – the third of her films following on from Songs My Brothers Taught Me (2015) and The... https://www.scmp.com/arts/china-celebrates-golden-globes-anoints-new-star/article/3123756?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/arts/china-celebrates-golden-globes-anoints-new-star/article/3123756?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 02 Mar 2021 11:48:06 +0000 The reimagined 2021 Golden Globes Awards ceremony was staged between two American coasts, with many celebrities dialling in via video call at this pandemic-era celebration of the screen, which took place two months later than originally planned. But that didn’t diminish the star wattage on display, and fashion was still the major talking point. A-listers broke out the hottest new couture from the Paris runways, or made a welcome nod to sustainability by re-wearing past outfits.

Nomadland is the 38-year-old director’s third feature film, following Songs My Brothers Taught Me (2015) and The Rider (2017). The story follows a woman living as a modern-day nomad after... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3123611/china-rejoices-chloe-zhao-makes-history-golden-globe-best?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3123611/china-rejoices-chloe-zhao-makes-history-golden-globe-best?utm_source=rss_feed Mon, 01 Mar 2021 10:30:04 +0000 With homebound nominees appearing by remote video and hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler on different sides of the country, a very socially distanced 78th Golden Globe Awards trudged on in the midst of the pandemic and a storm of criticism. Netflix, which came in with a commanding 42 nominations, won the top television awards.

Usually a star-packed, laid-back party that draws Tinseltown’s biggest names to a Beverly Hills hotel ballroom, this pandemic edition of the awards was being broadcast from two scaled-down venues in California and New York, with frontline and essential workers among... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-beauty/article/3123526/golden-globes-2021-fashion-looks-red-carpet-and-home?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-beauty/article/3123526/golden-globes-2021-fashion-looks-red-carpet-and-home?utm_source=rss_feed Mon, 01 Mar 2021 02:47:15 +0000 Few films have captured the Chinese-American experience as poignantly as the critically acclaimed The Farewell. But when it made the Golden Globes, there was an uproar because it was nominated in the Best Foreign Language Film category. Critics of the decision pointed out that while the film is mostly set in China and the characters mostly speak in Chinese, the plot—centered on an immigrant family—is an ostensibly American story. Ironically, many viewers in China saw director Lulu Wang’s vision... https://www.scmp.com/culture/farewell-china-golden-globes-lulu-wang-awkwafina/article/3043883?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/culture/farewell-china-golden-globes-lulu-wang-awkwafina/article/3043883?utm_source=rss_feed Mon, 30 Dec 2019 07:45:55 +0000 When Sandra Oh took the stage on Sunday to co-host the Golden Globes with Andy Samberg, she acknowledged the sea change in Hollywood that led to her being the first person of Asian descent to host a major U.S. awards show. “I said yes to the fear of being on this stage tonight,” she said, her voice quivering, “because I wanted to be here to look out into this audience and witness this moment of change.” Later, she made history again by winning best actress in a television drama for Killing... https://www.scmp.com/culture/5-sandra-oh-movies-greys-anatomy/article/3000400?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/culture/5-sandra-oh-movies-greys-anatomy/article/3000400?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 08 Jan 2019 14:57:10 +0000
