Best Actress in a Motion Picture (Drama): Isabelle Huppert (Elle)

Isabelle Huppert’s win in the Best Actress category was quite a surprise, especially because Elle is in French. The internationally co-produced psychological thriller directed by Paul Verhoeven and written by David Birke, based on the novel Oh... by Philippe Djian, also received the Prix Interallié (National Literary Award). The film tells the story of a businesswoman, Michèle Leblanc, who is raped in her home by an unknown assailant and plots revenge. Huppert was as surprised as we were, and glad too.

Isabelle Huppert had a strong competitors in Amy Adams (Arrival) and Natalie Portman (Jackie).

Who better to give away this award than the best looking man in Hollywood, Leonardo DiCaprio.

Best Motion Picture Drama: Moonlight

Mahershala Ali and Naomi Harris starrer Moonlight was a deserving contender for the Best Motion Picture Drama at the 74th Golden Globe Awards. The Barry Jenkins’ film is the story of a young man dealing with a dysfunctional family. He comes of age in Miami during the "War on Drugs" era. The story of his struggle to find himself is told across three defining chapters in his life as he experiences the ecstasy, pain, and beauty of falling in love while grappling with his own sexuality. This unbearably personal film is an urgent social document and it takes a hard look at American reality, with a narrative that has a universal appeal.

Moonlight fought a tough battle with other gems in the same category-

Best Motion Picture, Comedy Or Musical : La La Land

Yup, as expected, La La Land won the big one. Who says Hollywood can’t make musicals as well as Bollywood? :P La La Land is the story of a musician and an aspiring actress who meet and fall in love in Los Angeles.

The film's title is a reference both to a nickname for the city of Los Angeles and to the idiom for being out of touch with reality. What a swell job this one has done for musicals and unconventional art in Hollywood.

And what a way to win! La La Land had seven nominations at the Golden Globes this year and it won in each of those categories.
