Rachel Brosnahan is not Jewish, but she does a convincing job playing a very Jewish woman in \u201cMrs. Maisel.\u201d She won best actress in a comedy show for the second year in a row. During Sunday night\u2019s awards from the Beverly Hills Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, she earned praise for the way she thanked her Jewish showrunner Amy Sherman-Palladino, saying: \u201cOur village is a matriarchy led by Amy Sherman-Palladino.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brosnahan edged out fellow Jewish best actress nominees Alison Brie (\u201cGlow\u201d) and Debra Messing (\u201cWill & Grace\u201d).<\/p>\n
Andy Samberg, co-hosting with actress Sandra Oh, also addressed criticism that \u201cMrs. Maisel\u201d deals in Jewish stereotypes in one of the more pointed jokes in a cuddly opening monologue.
Michael Douglas accepted the best actor award for a TV musical or comedy from the Foreign Press Association for his role as aging acting coach Sandy Kominsky in \u201cThe Kominsky Method.\u201d Douglas thanked the show\u2019s Jewish creator, Chuck Lorre, and acknowledged his co-star and \u201cdancing partner\u201d Alan Arkin. He paid tribute to his 102-year-old father Kirk Douglas, then elicited laughter by raising the award and shouting \u201cAlte kockers rule!\u201d \u2014 using a Yiddish equivalent of \u201cold fart.\u201d<\/p>\n
It was Douglas\u2019 third Golden Globe, which include his roles in 1988\u2019s \u201cWall Street\u201d and 2014\u2019s \u201cBehind the Candelabra.\u201d He also received the Cecil B. Demille Award for outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment in 2004.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Kominsky Method\u201d also won best comedy TV series, bringing Lorre his first award after seven Emmy Award nominations.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis doesn\u2019t happen to me,\u201d he said during his acceptance speech. \u201cI\u2019ve been doing this a long time, and I\u2019m up here trembling like a leaf.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Americans\u201d series creator, writer and executive producer Joe Weisberg accepted the best drama series award for the sixth and final season of his show about the Cold War as lived by two married KGB spies posing as Americans in suburban Washington, D.C., during the Reagan administration. The show had previously been nominated for five Golden Globes.<\/p>\n
The omnipresent Jewish songwriter, producer and DJ Marc Ronson \u2014 who was collaborated with the likes of Bruno Mars and Miley Cyrus \u2014 was part of a team of four, which included singer Lady Gaga, to collect the award for best song for \u201cShallow,\u201d from the movie \u201cA Star is Born.\u201d Andrew Wyatt, and Anthony Rossomando make up the rest of that team.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou took a heartfelt, honest tune and you gave it emotional resonance that we could\u2019ve only dreamed of,\u201d Ronson told Lady Gaga in accepting the award. \u201cSeriously, the way you weaved the lyrics into the film and the narrative of your beautiful heartbreaking film is why we\u2019re standing up here tonight, I believe.\u201d<\/p>\n
Actress Glenn Close took the Golden Globe award for best actress in a drama film for her role in \u201cThe Wife,\u201d which is based on a book by Jewish author Meg Wolitzer.<\/p>\n
In accepting the 2019 Cecil B. DeMille Award, actor Jeff Bridges thanked Ethan and Joel Coen, who directed him in the 1998 cult classic \u201cThe Big Lebowski.\u201d Bridges\u2019 character in that film, known as The Dude, is widely considered to be his most iconic role.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I\u2019m lucky I\u2019ll be associated with The Dude of rest of my life. I feel so honored to be a part of that film,\u201d Bridges said in thanking the Coens, whom he called \u201ctrue masters.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, as it seems to do during every recent awards ceremony, social media was going bonkers trying to figure out what the tattoo made up of three Hebrew letters on actress Regina King\u2019s left forearm means.<\/p>\n
King, who won best supporting actress for \u201cIf Beale Street Could Talk,\u201d has addressed the tattoo in interviews with mainstream media. The three Hebrew letters show up in the list of \u201c72 names of God\u201d according to the mystical Jewish tradition and have been interpreted by Christians and New age practitioners as meaning \u201cunconditional love.\u201d<\/p>\n
