Big Little Lies won big at the 2018 Golden Globes last night, as women deservedly took centre stage.

The show, written by David E. Kelley and directed by Jean-Marc Vallee, won four of the six awards it was nominated – more than any other TV series. Its wins included Best Limited Series, beating out a field of contenders largely led by female characters (Feud: Bette and Joan, Top of the Lake: China Girl, Fargo and The Sinner), as well as Best Actress (Nicole Kidman), Best Supporting Actress (Laura Dern) and Best Supporting Actor (Alexander Skarsgard).

Kidman, who produced the show with co-star Reece Witherspoon, hailed the show’s success as proof that “there’s an opportunity to have a spectrum of female behaviour from different backgrounds. We’re starting to talk about seeing more dynamic women on film. We hope to continue that and even make it more diverse, more inclusive. It’s really important that when women are the architects of the stories, the stories change.”

Indeed, two other big winners of the night were also women-led stories: Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale, which won Best TV Series and Best Actress for Elisabeth Moss, and Amazon’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, which won Best Musical or Comedy Series, plus Best Actress for Rachel Brosnahan.

Their success meant that the The Crown was trumped royally, failing to repeat its win from last year’s Globes in either the Best Drama or Best Actress category. Netflix only took home one award last night: Best Actor for Aziz Ansari in Master of None Season 2, although that itself made history, as he became first Asian-American to win an acting Globe for a TV series.

In films, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri dominated the contest, winning four awards, including Best Picture and Best Actress, as well as Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor. The Darkest Hour’s Gary Oldman won Best Actor for Drama, with his portrayal of Churchill rivalled only by James Franco’s turn as Tommy Wiseau, which won Best Actor (Comedy) for The Disaster Artist. In a surprisingly split field, the Globes also found room to honour Guillermo Del Toro as Best Director for The Shape of Water. The surprise winner of the night, though, was Greta Gerwig’s Lady Bird, which deservedly triumphed twice, for Best Picture (Musical or Comedy) and Best Actress for Saoirse Ronan.
