“Wicked” was not one of the big winners at Sunday’s Golden Globe Awards. It came into the show with four nominations and only won once, in the two-year-old category of Cinematic and Box Office Achievement — a category that seemed designed to celebrate popcorn movies that wouldn’t get Globes any other way.
But when he got to the microphone to accept its one award, “Wicked” director Jon M. Chu sounded a note that could have summed up many of the movies that won in the Beverly Hilton ballroom on Sunday: “We can still make art that is a radical act of optimism.”
