Golden Globes 2019: Alfonso Cuaron wins Best Director; his Mexican drama Roma bags Best Foreign Language Film

Firstpost  

“Cinema at its best tears down walls and builds bridges to other cultures," said Alfanso Cuaron after his Mexican film Roma won big at the Golden Globes. Alfonso Cuaron’s critically loved Roma took home two trophies — Best Foreign Language Film and Best Director — at the Golden Globe Awards. The Academy Award-winning director, who is widely expected to win major nominations at the Oscars again with the semi-autobiographical black-and-white drama, said, “Cinema at its best tears down walls and builds bridges to other cultures.” Inspired by his childhood memories of growing up in the Mexico City in the first two years of the 1970s, Roma follows a domestic worker employed by a middle class family. Cuaron thanked his leading ladies — Yaltiza Aparicio and Marina de Tavira — for “all of what they did in this film” as well as Ted Sarandos and “all the Netflix team that really made an amazing effort to bring this film all around the world.” In the Best Director - Motion Picture category, the Oscar-winning Mexican filmmaker was nominated alongside Deborah Davis and Tony McNamara, Barry Jenkins, Adam McKay, and Peter Farrelly, Nick Vallelonga and Brian Currie.
