Brosnahan Returns Empty-Handed From the 81st Golden Globe Awards
Rachel Brosnahan attended the 81st Golden Globe Awards in a custom red Sergio Hudson dress. The thirty-three-year-old actress was once again nominated for the role of Miriam “Midge” Maisel in the acclaimed comedy-drama series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
In the past, Brosnahan has been nominated for the series in the Best Actress in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy category, winning the award back-to-back in 2018 and 2019.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel released its final season in 2023, making this year’s nomination the final one for Brosnahan’s time on the acclaimed series. However, the night ended in disappointment for the actress as she returned empty-handed.
Instead, Ayo Edebiri won the award for her electric performance as Sydney Adamu in the culinary comedy-drama series The Bear. As a result, Brosnahan’s time as Miriam “Midge” Maisel ends without the actress adding another Golden Globe to her name.
