Julia Roberts Falls Short for Best Actress, Earns Ovation and Red-Carpet Praise at Golden Globes

The appearance renewed attention on her MeToo-era turn in After the Hunt, underscoring the restraint she says the role required.

Overview

  • Roberts was nominated for Best Actress – Drama for After the Hunt, but the Golden Globe went to Jessie Buckley for Hamnet.
  • She took the stage to present Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and drew a standing ovation with lighthearted prodding of the audience.
  • Her look featured a black velvet Giorgio Armani Privé gown with a deep heart-shaped neckline and a long gold chain bearing a red Swarovski strawberry pendant.
  • Roberts made a rare on-site appearance with husband Danny Moder, posing together inside the Beverly Hilton though not as a joint red-carpet entrance.
  • In the film she plays Yale professor Alma Imhoff, and she has said the hardest part of the performance was resisting her instinct to be compassionate.
