All sins seem to have been forgiven. Despite the gigantic controversy that occurred just three years ago, and which seriously endangered its existence, the Golden Globes returned in style and with the massive approval of the biggest celebrities in film and television, as was clear from the crowded red carpet that usually precedes the event.
On this occasion, the massive attendance of stars achieved that memorable party atmosphere that has always been essential at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s biggest event, and that extended not only to the emotional thank-you speeches heard on the stage of the Beverly Hilton, but also to the happiness that the winners themselves showed when entering the press room to answer the questions that were asked of them. Their answers are below.
Unfortunately for the interests of our community, no Latino managed to win the statuette, despite the fact that the different categories offered direct possibilities of victory for “The Snow Society” (the survival thriller produced by Spain, Uruguay and Chile). , Pedro Pascal (the Chilean protagonist of “The Last of Us”) and Selena Gomez (the Mexican-American protagonist of “Only Murders in the Building”),
Emma Stone (Best Actress in a Motion Picture/Musical or Comedy)
To play Bella, the protagonist of the impressive “Poor Things”, who acts with a carefreeness and innocence that leads her to make unusual decisions for the Victorian era in which the story takes place, the Oscar winner for “La La Land” (2016) did not have to appeal to personal experiences of any kind, as normally happens with actors in any work process.
“I think that, in this case, it was precisely about doing the opposite, that is, to completely forget about everything that has happened to me, because Bella was a completely different character from everything I had done up to that moment and everything I had done.” seen,” the interpreter told us.
“It was about unlearning things instead of learning them, and that was very beautiful and very liberating, although also very complicated,” he acknowledged. “I’m talking about the things that you grow up with living in a society, like the way you judge your body, the way you judge others and the shame of any kind that you may feel. “It was starting from scratch.”
Stone appeared on the stage in the press room alongside director Yorgos Lanthimos and his co-stars Mark Ruffalo and Willem Dafoe; and although all of them had very little time to talk with reporters, Lanthimos managed to answer a question about the next film project he has in hand, and which will include both Stone and Dafoe.
“What we can say is that it is going to be something very different,” he said. “There are going to be three contemporary stories with seven actors. We are in the editing process; I hope we have it ready soon.”

Cillian Murphy (Best Actor in a Motion Picture/Drama)
What was Oppenheimer’s greatest tragedy? he was asked once he stood before the microphone to answer questions. “I think he was a complex, contradictory, arrogant and brilliant person at the same time,” the Irish actor initially said. “I played him trying to rescue the human side of him, trying to let the audience decide what they should think of him, because I never judge the characters I’m in charge of.”
“There are many ways to study it; There is a lot of information about him online, and I talked to people who had attended his lectures,” he explained. “What I ended up presenting was a synthesis of what I observed, what was in the script and some aspects of me, I guess. “In any case, this was not a documentary, which means that what you see is our version of the events.”
Paul Giamatti (Best Actor in a Motion Picture/Musical or Comedy, for his role in “The Holdovers”)
In “The Holdovers,” Paul Giamatti plays Paul Hunham, a strict teacher who tries to impose his discipline on naturally unruly teenagers. In real life, the prominent American actor claims to have behaved correctly during his time as a student, even though he was not a saint.
“When I was in high school, I liked to skip some classes,” he recalled. “But I did it to go to the library and read science fiction and horror books, which is a genre that I love; ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ is probably my favorite movie. I don’t know if that makes me qualify as a rebel.”
When asked about his closeness to the “Meditations” of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, which play an important role in Alexander Payner’s film – his character even gives away copies freely – Giamatti claimed not to have read those texts in a long time. .
“I read them at university, that is, within an academic context, which is not exactly the most exciting thing,” he said. “I still think they are the best self-help book you can find, but I don’t know if I would give them to anyone.”

Da’Vine Joy Randolph (Best Supporting Actress for “The Holdovers”)
The actress who rose to fame for her roles in “Dolemite Is My Name” (2019) and “The United States vs. Billie Holiday” (2020) expressed her satisfaction at being attending the ceremony, which felt “like a bigger party than it normally is after everything that happened with the pandemic.”
Asked what motivated her to accept the job that led her to play the hard-working boarding school cook who is affected by the death of her teenage son, Randolph assured that, upon reading the script written by David Hemingson, she was delighted with the character he was given due to “his authenticity, his desire to fight, his desire to conquer the world in the midst of limitations and tribulations.”
“I also liked the way she was shown as a woman who had to survive in a man’s world, while also being a person of color,” she said. “David did a wonderful job writing this story, and Alexander Payne did the same directing it, creating a great collaboration.”
Ali Wong (Best Actress in a Miniseries or Television Movie, for “Beef”)
The daughter of a Vietnamese mother and a Chinese-American father, who played a businesswoman in “Beef” who fiercely confronted a Korean descendant played by Steven Yeun after a car disagreement that escalated, celebrated having won his Golden Globe shortly before Yeun did in the corresponding men’s category.
“We worked so hard to make this show, and to be able to celebrate together like this is really incredible,” she said, before glancing at the bulky trophy in her arms. “Now, I have to find a safe place to put this, because I have two small children and this is heavy, like a medieval weapon.”
“After the turbulent times we have experienced and the actors’ strike, coming to this is incredible,” he added. “I’ve been on tour doing stand-up, and I haven’t done anything acting-wise since ‘Beef.’ When I was approached to participate in the series, I thought I wouldn’t be able to do it because of the challenge the role represented for me, so to now be recognized in this way feels wonderful.”

Justine Triet (director and co-writer of “Anatomy of a Fall”, Best Foreign Language Film and Best Screenplay)
Beyond her victory in the foreign field, the director of the excellent French film that tells the story of a woman facing a judicial accusation of murder after the tragic death of her husband expressed her absolute surprise at the inclusion of her fourth feature film in the Best Film/Drama section (which ended up giving the victory to “Oppenheimer”). “The truth is that it sounds like something completely impossible, but it makes me very happy,” the European filmmaker told reporters.
Asked about the specific difficulties of filming, Triet first mentioned the scene that shows the protagonists Sandra (Sandra Hüller) and Vincent (Swann Arlaud) engaged in an argument that becomes increasingly intense and hurtful. “The problem was not so much the words that were said, but above all the positioning of the actors and knowing how far they should go with their interpretive strength,” she explained.
“But the scene in which Milo [el joven actor que interpreta al hijo de Sandra y Vincent] gives his last testimony before the court,” he added. “At that time, he had already grown up, he had changed and he had realized things that he did not realize before. “It took him a while to find the right mood.”
