Black Films Make an Impression With 2019 Golden Globe Nominations

Ever since the #OscarSoWhite movement of 2015, film and television academies have attempted to rectify years of overlooking Black contributions  by finally giving us our just due. While there is still plenty of progress to be made, the 2019 Golden Globe nominations give us hope that stories about people of color will continue to garner support and be recognized for the beautiful pieces of art they are.

Black Panther, BlacKkKlansman and If Beale Street Could Talk are all nominated for the award of the night, Best Motion Picture-Drama. Black Panther could also take home prizes for Best Original Score and Best Original Song. BlackKklansman earned Spike Lee a nomination for Best Director as well as nods for actors John David Washington and Adam Driver. If Beale Street Could Talk received additional nominations for Best Screenplay (Barry Jenkins) and Best Supporting Actress-Drama (Regina King).

King received a second nomination for her role in Netflix drama Seven Seconds in which she won an Emmy this year. Donald Glover received an acting nod for Atlanta while Thandie Newton was recognized for her work on HBO’s Westworld. Like King, Newton has already taken home an Emmy for the role.
