The 2024 Golden Globes showcased numerous talented actors, actresses, and directors.
However, supporters of the 2023 film “The Color Purple” are curious to know whether Fantasia Barrino received a Golden Globe for her role.
They also want to know if “The Color Purple” took anything home. So, what happened at the awards this year?
At the 2024 Golden Globe Awards, both “The Color Purple” and Fantasia Barrino failed to secure any wins. The film itself wasn’t nominated, and Barrino lost to Emma Stone in the coveted Best Actress category for “Poor Things.” Danielle Brooks, nominated for Best Supporting Actress, also lost to Da’Vine Joy Randolph from “The Holdovers.”
Did ‘The Color Purple’ or Fantasia Barrino Win Anything at the 2024 Golden Globe Awards?
The 2024 Golden Globes highlighted the wealth of talent in the film industry, where exceptional performances are celebrated and acknowledged.
Fantasia Barrino, despite her exceptional performance as Celie Harris-Johnson in “The Color Purple,” did not secure a victory at the 2024 Golden Globes.
She had been nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical, or Comedy.
Her portrayal masterfully conveyed Celie’s pain, compassion, and resilience, earning her acclaim. However, the coveted Golden Globe was ultimately awarded to Emma Stone for her role in “Poor Things.”
In the same category, Fantasia Barrino faced tough competition from talented actresses:
- Jennifer Lawrence for her role in “No Hard Feelings.”
- Natalie Portman in “May December.”
- Alma Pöysti for her performance in “Fallen Leaves.”
- Margot Robbie, who portrayed Barbie in the eponymous film.
Emma Stone’s victory surprised many, given her portrayal of Bella Baxter, a Victorian woman undergoing a surreal awakening in “Poor Things.”
She triumphed over high expectations, even besting Margot Robbie, who had been considered a strong contender for her role as Barbie.
Stone’s ability to captivate the audience with her portrayal led to her well-deserved Golden Globe win.
While Fantasia Barrino may not have taken home the prestigious award, her nomination was a testament to her amazing talent and dedication to “The Color Purple,” a film that resonated with viewers and critics alike.
Sadly, Danielle Brooks, who was nominated for the Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture category, also didn’t win in her category. She was beaten by Da’Vine Joy Randolph of “The Holdovers.”
The competition in that category was immensely tough as the following stalwarts were nominated in it as well:
- Emily Blunt for the film “Oppenheimer.”
- Jodie Foster for the movie “Nyad.”
- Julianne Moore for her work in “May December.”
- Rosamund Pike for her role in “Saltburn.”
Regretfully, “The Color Purple” itself wasn’t nominated in any category related to Best Picture. Many fans of the film expressed disappointment that it didn’t win anything.
Should the film have been nominated in a major category? Should the actresses have won in their categories?
