Early awards go to women who play empowered, tough-minded characters

Nicole Kidman, Rachel Brosnahan and Elisabeth Moss — actresses who portrayed strong women on shows that showed the importance of female voices — all took home Globes in the first 30 minutes of the awards show Sunday night. 

"We no longer live in the blank white spaces at the edge of print. We no longer live in the gaps between the stories. We are the story in print — and we are writing the stories ourselves," Moss said.

Nicole Kidman won for her acclaimed performance as the survivor of domestic abuse on "Big Little Lies." Rachel Brosnahan ("The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel") and Elisabeth Moss ("The Handmaid's Tale") were awarded statues for their roles in feminist-themed series.

"There are so many women stories that are still out there that still need and deserve to be told," Brosnahan said.

So, who is the Hollywood Foreign Press?

Actors may forget to thank their families or their agents while delivering heartfelt “thank yous” for their Golden Globes, but there’s always one team they never forget to thank: The Hollywood Foreign Press Association. But who is the HFPA?   

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is an organization formed of 90 international journalists who write and report on the film and television industry. The nonprofit organization annually produces the Golden Globe Awards, and funds scholarships for film students.  

This year, HFPA President Meher Tatna announced two new grants, worth a $1 million each, to be awarded to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalism and Committee to Protect Journalists. 

The first Golden Globes Awards were held in 1944 and the HFPA has recognized achievements in television and film for more than 70 years.
