Big Danish hopes miss out at the Golden Globes

Susanne Bier’s ‘The Undoing’ and Thomas Vinterberg’s ‘Druk’ both fell short in their respective categories last night

Susanne Bier’s hit series ‘The Undoing’ missed out to ‘The Queen’s Gambit’ in the Best Miniseries or TV Film category.

Meanwhile, Thomas Vinterberg’s film ‘Druk’ – starring Mads Mikkelsen – was nominated in the Best Non-English Language Film category.
