The Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s Golden Globe Awards recognize excellence in U.S. and international film and television.
76th Golden Globe Latin Winners
Bohemian Rhapsody won Best Motion Picture, Drama. Green Book won three awards.
It must be said though, that Roma is not just the best foreign language film. It is the best movie of the year. Visuals, soundscape and story transcend language.

Movie Nominations
Best Motion Picture – Drama
Black Panther
We are superheroes too. Nothing really Latin here, but American Latin is African.
Black Panther is nominated for three Golden Globe Awards!
Marvel Studios / Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
BlackKklansman
Once again Spike Lee makes something awful, funny. It’s the true story of a Black rookie cop who infiltrates the Klu Klux Klan with the help of a veteran Jewish cop.
The Black cop works the phone and the Jewish cop goes to meetings. How they pulled that off is crazy and shows how groups like the KKK are really dumb. It’s a great story and a great movie.
Focus Features
Bohemian Rhapsody
Nothing Latin here, but Freddie Mercury was born Zoroastrian (an ancient Persian religion that predates Judaism, Christianity and Islam) like me. There are not many of us left. He was born in Zanzibar, Tanzania in Africa.
If Beale Street Could Talk
A Star Is Born
If you are creative, you should see the movie. You will see some of who you want to be and you will see some of who you don’t want to be.
If you’ve are going through a breakup, you might not want to see it. The film has a hard ending.
The movie is definitely a contender.
Warner Brothers Pictures

Green Book
When a world-renowned African-American classical pianist decides to do a concert tour through the1960s American South, he knows he needs some protection. He asks around and several people recommend Tony “Lip” Vallelonga, an Italian-American bouncer at the Copacabana nightclub.
This is based on a true story. The pianist, Dr. Don Shirley, was a classical music child prodigy who really lived in Carnegie Hall. Vallelonga is nominated for Best Screenplay.
In the manner of the times, Vallelonga didn’t like colored people, but he takes the job because he needs the money while the Copa is closed for renovation. His one request is to try to make it home for Christmas. Being an Italian family, that is important.
You can see how each man is confused and amused by the other. Through their adventures on the road, each learns something about himself. Each in his own way takes risks to help and protect the other. In the end, their shared experience bonds the men into brothers.
This is such a heartwarming film with a happy holiday ending. I wish all Americans would watch it. When we live separate lives, it’s easy to be nervous and afraid of “the other.” Living and working together forces us find our common humanity. I think it’s why New Yorkers get along so well – we all live, work and love together.
