Sandra Oh is hilariously photobombed by sledding dinosaurs at the Golden Globes – Daily Mail

Sandra Oh was hilariously photobombed by sledding dinosaurs as she presented at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday.

Fans went wild as the Killing Eve actress, 49, recited a serious introduction to the film Palm Springs from a snowy field, as two dinosaur figurines were pulled on a sled behind her.

The star said: ‘Finding someone you wanna spend your life with is as likely as seeing dinosaurs in the desert.’

The star then turned around with a deadpan expression to see the dinosaur before exclaiming: ‘Nominated for two Golden Globes, this, is Palm Springs.’ 

Viewers swiftly erupted at the distracting moment on Twitter with one writing: ‘I can’t stop laughing at Sandra oh side eying a dinosaur sledding by her.’

 Another wrote: ‘Sandra Oh and the dinosaur were the highlight of the night’ while a third typed: ‘sandra oh presenting #GoldenGlobes in the snow with a dinosaur lives in my mind rent free.’

This year’s ceremony, which usually takes place in early January, was pushed back to February 28 as Hollywood continues to adjust to the coronavirus pandemic and new safety guidelines. 

Nomadland earned the top honor in film but the most shocking moment of the night came when Andra Day won best actress at the first ever bi-coastal Golden Globes.  

The 36-year-old actress – who was the heavy underdog – broke down in tears as she was recognized for her role in The United States Vs BIllie Holiday having faced heavy competition including Viola Davis for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Vanessa Kirby for Pieces of a Woman, Frances McDormand for Nomadland, Carey Mulligan for Promising Young Woman.

According to betting site OddsShark.com, Day had the smallest chance to win in the Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama category when it came to betting odds as she was a +6600 underdog meaning if one bet $100 they would take home $6,600.   

Andra wiped tears from her eyes and grabbed a paper with her acceptance speech written on it while surrounded by friends and family   

She said: ‘Sorry, y’all, so, okay. Can you just give me the paper, please first, I would just want to do say thank you so much for — with no shame, thank you so much for bringing me through, getting me through mom, dad, Josh, Jackson, to Lee Daniels my great love, my first love, my acting coach, and all the people at the HFPA, thank you so much for being so engaged in Billie’s story.’ 

In the biographical drama she portrays jazz and swing singer Billie Holiday who is at the center of an undercover sting operation by the Federal Bureau of Narcotics.

Moments later the top honor in film came as Nomadland earned Best Motion Picture, Drama over The Father, Mank, Promising Young Woman, and The Trial of the Chicago 7.     

Director and writer Chloe Zhao was in disbelief as she accepted the honor and paid tribute to ‘the nomads’ that inspired the film as she said: ‘Nomadland, at its core for me, is a pilgrimage through grief and healing. 

‘So for everyone who’s gone through this difficult and beautiful journey at some point in their lives, this is for you. We don’t say goodbye, we say, “See you down the road.”‘

Nomadland – starring Frances McDormand – is centered around a woman in her sixties who, after losing everything in the Great Recession, embarks on a journey through the American West, living as a van-dwelling modern-day nomad.   

Before that The Crown nearly swept every television drama category with  Emma Corrin and Josh O’Connor triumphing as they respectively earned Best Performance by an Actress and Actor in a TV Series, Drama before the series itself earned the top honor in television.  

The Netflix series later earned Best Television Series, Drama beating out a very competitive field including Lovecraft Country, The Mandalorian, Ozark, and Ratched.

Corrin – who portrayed Diana, Princess of Wales – won over her The Crown co-star Olivia Colman (Queen Elizabeth II) in the Best Performance by an Actress in a TV Series, Drama category.

During her acceptance speech she acknowledged the late mother of Prince William and Prince Harry as she said: ‘Thank you to Diana, you have put compassion and empathy beyond anything I can understand. Thank you.’   

Other than Colman, the 25-year-old British actress also won out over Jodie Comer for Killing Eve, Laura Linney  for Ozark, and Sarah Paulson for Ratched.

She also thanked her co-star O’Connor – who played Charles, Prince of Wales – as she said: ‘Thanks to my prince charming, Josh, I could not do it without you.’  

Just minutes later it was 30-year-old O’Connor’s chance to shine as he won Best Performance by an Actor in a TV Series, Drama while pit against Jason Bateman for Ozark, Bob Odenkirk for Better Call Saul, Al Pacino for Hunters, and Matthew Rhys for Perry Mason.    

Josh returned the gratitude to his co-star with a huge smile as he said: ‘To Emma Corrin, best actress winner, you’re extraordinary, talented, funny and a brilliant player of rock, paper, scissors. I love you to bits.’

The talented actor finished off his speech with an important message about mental health amid the COVID-19 pandemic as he said: ‘ And finally I want to say, one little thing, I want to say I’m very lucky to be able to work in this period and there’s so many people that are unable to work and are alone and isolated, and I hope that we can all collectively put mental health at the forefront of our minds, thank you so much.’

The wins kept on coming for the drama series as Gillian Anderson earned Best Supporting Actress in a Television Series for her performance of former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Margaret Thatcher.   

The most emotional part of the night came when the late great Chadwick Boseman won a posthumous Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama, as his widow Simone Ledward moved many to tears with her stirring speech.

Boseman, who passed away in August at 43 years of age after a four-year battle with colon cancer, beat out Riz Ahmed for Sound of Metal, Anthony Hopkins for The Father, Gary Oldman for Mank and Tahar Rahim for The Mauritanian.

Amy Poehler and Tina Fey returned to host for the fourth time. The comedy duo did the honors in 2013, 2014 and 2015.
