Lucky star Anya Taylor-Joy won a Golden Globe for which 2020 miniseries?
Answer
The Queen's Gambit
Answer
The Queen's Gambit
Anya Taylor-Joy won a Golden Globe for the 2020 miniseries The Queen's Gambit.
She won Best Actress in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television at the 78th Golden Globe Awards in 2021. Her performance as chess prodigy Beth Harmon became one of the defining television performances of the pandemic-era streaming boom.
The Queen's Gambit was released by Netflix as a seven-episode limited series. It was adapted by Scott Frank and Allan Scott from Walter Tevis's 1983 novel, following Beth from a Kentucky orphanage into the international chess world of the 1950s and 1960s.
A common mix-up is confusing the series award with Taylor-Joy's separate Golden Globe nomination for Emma. She won for The Queen's Gambit, while the miniseries itself also won the Golden Globe for Best Television Limited Series, Anthology Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television.
