On Sunday, February 28, the Golden Globes award ceremony was held in a way it has never been before – virtual. After a year of the COVID-19 pandemic sweeping our nation, the film industry was hit hard. Though, that did not stop the annual Golden Globes from happening. The virtual event lasted three hours and though it was held via Zoom. Actors, actresses, and filmmakers received the recognition they deserved, just not in-person this year. Emma Corrin won her first Golden Globe for her performance as Princess Diana in Netflix Series The Crown.

Corrin was an unknown actress when she was cast for the role of Princess Diana. In fact, she had just finished school at Cambridge University when productions began. Corrin was nominated for the category along with four other actresses. Oliva Coleman, Jodie Comer, Laura Linney, and Sarah Paulson were all nominated alongside Corrin for Best Actress in a Television Series – Drama. Corrin does an impeccable job as Princess Diana in the Netflix series and was very deserving of taking home the win in this category. We are so excited for the show The Crown as the show won four out of the six categories it was nominated for.
Heartfelt congratulations to Emma Corrin, Josh O’Connor, Gillian Anderson, and everyone behind Season 4 of The Crown. pic.twitter.com/Cf5CWGXdZt
