This was Foster’s 12th Golden Globe nomination, which over the years has included three wins for her lead roles in The Accused (1989) and The Silence Of The Lambs (1992) and her supporting role in The Mauritanian (2021).
She also received a Cecil B. DeMille Award in 2013, which is bestowed by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) for ‘outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment.’
Ahead of the ceremony, Foster and Hedison showed off their undeniable chemistry by posing for photographers on the red carpet.

The former child star — who made her acting debut at age five on the sitcom Mayberry R.F.D. in 1968 — looked stylish in a sheer blouse with a beaded collar.
The top was tucked into a flowing black maxi skirt that belted at the waist.
She got a few inch boost to her 5ft 3in figure by wearing platform open-toe heels.
Rounding out her overall look, the Taxi Driver alum had her graying blonde hair styled wavy.
Matching her wife’s outfit, Hedison, 54, also stepped out in black, but she opted for a suit that she paired with a plunging black top and matching leather shoes.
The photographer, director and actress had her salt-and-pepper tresses cut short, over her ears, with a part on the left.
Foster also worked the cameras on the red carpet by herself.
The two-time Oscar-winner looked to be in a jovial mood during her time in the spotlight.

During the festive event Foster and Hedison shared a few moments with Martin Scorsese, who cast and directed a 12-year-old Foster in Taxi Driver in the 1970s.
The classic neo-noir psychological thriller film, starring Robert De Niro, ended up earning two Golden Globe nominations for Best Actor In A Motion Picture – Drama for De Niro and Best Supporting Actress for Foster.
The couple were seen holding holds and laughing out loud while chatting with the acclaimed filmmaker, whose new film Killers Of The Flower Moon received seven nominations.
In the end, the epic Western crime drama film won one trophy for Best Actress – Motion Picture Drama for Lily Gladstone.
Nyad made its world premiere at the 50th Telluride Film Festival on September 1, 2023.
Directed by Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, who worked from a screenplay by Julia Cox, Nyad is a biography about about swimmer Dianne Nyad’s attempt to swim the Straits of Florida in 2013.
Leading lady Annette Bening received a nomination for Best Actress In A Motion Picture – Drama, but that award went to Gladstone.
The Golden Globes came in the wake of Foster being slammed for her comments about working with Gen Z actors, who she said can be ‘really annoying’ to work with, and that many of them often misspell their emails.

Speaking to The Guardian, the actress said: ‘They’re really annoying, especially in the workplace.
‘They’re like, “Nah, I’m not feeling it today, I’m gonna come in at 10:30 a.m,’ Foster added. ‘Or in emails, I’ll tell them, “This is all grammatically incorrect, did you not check your spelling?” And they’re like, “Why would I do that, isn’t that kind of limiting?”‘
When asked what she thought young actors needed to know, Jodie added: ‘They need to learn how to relax, how to not think about it so much, how to come up with something that’s theirs.
Many people took to social media to express how they were not impressed by her comments, calling them ‘divisive’, while pointing out that its commonplace for older generations to slam younger people.
