Kennet h Branagh's BELFAST Winner At Golden Globes See
Kennat h Brannagh's BELFAST Aw arded Best Screenplay At 2022 Golden Globes
The 79th Golden Globes were really low key this year. The winners were presented to the world from a private ceremony via Twitter! BELFAST won the People's Choice Award at the Toronto Film Festival last year and Irish Film afficianados had high hopes that the film would sweep the Golden Globes as it was nominated for best film and in many other catagories. The Golden Globes show itself this year was a shadow of previous years owing to the pandemic and with complaints from activists and bad press. It had been alleged that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) the group that runs the Golden Globe was not doing enough to promote diversity. All of the awards shows from the Tonys to the Oscars are less relevent and popular today than in Kennet h Branagh and Cast m em bers of BELFAST at t he LA Prem ier last year.
the past but the Golden Globes may well be leading the pack as far as becoming less relevant. Nonetheless, it is still an important and prestigious award and often a signal that an Oscar is in the works!
Also. Branagh's wonderful film did beat out competition from the likes of Paul Thomas Anderson?s Licorice Pizza and Adam McKay?s Don? t Look Up in winning the Globe for best screenplay. Belfast remains a favorite for Best Picture at the Oscars which will be announced on March 27. If Belfast wins, it will be the first Irish film to take the most prestigious awards in cinema.

About the film
"BELFAST is t he m ost personal film I have ever m ade. About a place and a people, I love.
BELFAST is a movie straight from Branagh?s own experience set in the city of his birth. A nine-year-old boy must chart a path towards adulthood through a world that has suddenly turned upside down. His stable and loving community and everything he thought he understood about life is changed forever but joy, laughter, the formative magic of the movies and music were all constant. The soundtrack is an homage to Van Morrison..
