Instead of wearing a tuxedo or any fancy attire, Murray, who was nominated for 'On the Rocks' decided to keep it casual and showed up in a simple Hawaiian shirt as Daniel Kaluuya took home the accolade for ‘Judas and The Black Messiah’. The actor sported a vibrant shirt that was literally painted with every color that the viewers could imagine.

As Kaluuya ended his acceptance speech and raised a glass of champagne to all the other nominees, Murray raised his glass for the second time as he celebrated Kaluuya’s victory with a huge smile on his face. 

Social media was totally digging Murray’s look and did not leave any stone unturned in making his outfit go viral. One of the users said: “I would have given the award to Bill Murray just for being Bill Murray.” Another user noted: “Bill Murray wearing a Hawaiian shirt sipping a martini is what I want to see on awards show #GoldenGlobes.” Meanwhile, one of the Twitter users simply labeled him a “legend.”

“Bill Murray with his martini is a whole mood,” another user added. Another one noted: “I’d like to live in Bill Murray’s Zoom background. #GoldenGlobes.” On the other hand, one user shared: “Bill Murray and his martini is the definition of happiness #GoldenGlobes.” Another user added: "Bill Murray is all of us after working from home for the past year #goldenglobes."

Another person noted: "Bill Murray at the Golden Globes is peak pandemic energy." 

The look resonated with the people and they believed that this is the kind of energy that everybody needs to have in their lives. How did you like Murray’s look?

As far as the Golden Globes are concerned, Chloe Zhao’s ‘Nomadland’ took home the Best Picture award and also became the first Asian woman to win the Best Director accolade. Late actor Chadwick Boseman won the Best Actor in a Motion Picture (Drama) for ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’. He is only the second actor after Peter Finch to win the lead actor award posthumously. Finch won the accolade for his role in 1976’s ‘Network’.
Meanwhile, Andra Day took home the Best Actress prize for ‘The United States vs Billie Holiday’.

The 78th Golden Globes were handed out in a virtual ceremony that was telecast on February 28 at 8 pm ET. Hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, this year’s ceremony took place at two different locations, making it the first bicoastal event in the show’s history.
