Garfield has to beat some tough competition in this category, winning against Peter Dinklage for Cyrano, Leonardo DiCaprio for Don’t Look Up, Anthony Ramos for In the Heights, and Cooper Hoffman for Licorice Pizza. Tick, Tick… Boom! was also nominated for Best Motion Picture in a Musical or Comedy, but the film sadly lost out to West Side Story.

This is Andrew Garfield’s first major win at the Golden Globes, having been nominated for Best Actor in a Motion Picture for Hacksaw Ridge and Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture for The Social Network previously. Garfield has won a BAFTA for Best Television Actor in a Leading Role for his performance in Boy A before and also, a Tony Award for Best Leading Actor in a Play for Angels in America.

This year’s Golden Globes has been surrounded by a lot of controversies, and for the very first time since 1979, there wasn’t any TV broadcast of the show nor did it have an audience. This past year, it was revealed that the organization running the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and Golden Globes, had a lack of diversity in its members. NBC, who has broadcast rights for the show for a number of years, ended up boycotting the ceremony alongside Amazon, Netflix, and Warner Media. All the results from this year’s show were announced via social media, with no nominees in actual attendance.

Garfield’s Tick, Tick… Boom! was praised by both critics and fans, with many even noting the impressive performance of Garfield. The film was also recognized as one of the best films of last year by the America Film Institute and has also won a nomination for Best Picture at the 27th Critics’ Choice Awards.

Garfield has also received a lot of praise for his incredible performance in the recently released Spider-Man: No Way Home, where he returns to play his role as Peter Parker from The Amazing Spider-Man duology. Garfield’s No Way Home performance has turned out to be so popular that fans have started campaigning for a new installment in The Amazing Spider-Man franchise. Garfield himself recently revealed that he’s open to playing Spider-Man once again.

Tick, Tick… Boom! is now available on Netflix and No Way Home is in theaters now.
