Excuse Me, But Where Is Laura Dern’s Golden Globe For Best Hair?

By Lauren Rearick


Laura Dern should have won a Golden Globe for Best Hair.


Sure, no such award exists, however because the star took to the stage to accept her win for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for her scene-stealing efficiency in Marriage Story, one couldn’t help yet learn that, wow, her waves are perfect.


Sustaining any order kind of curl is no easy feat, and  Dern rocked her loose waves with ease at the 2020 Golden Globes ceremony. Much like her refusal to ever waver from being wealthy in Big Little Lies, Dern’s blond waves never falter in their perfection, even as soon as it comes to the space conditions of Star Wars. Her character Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo faced death, and battle, with violet waves of literal perfection.


For two continuous Golden Globes and literally everything she’s in, Dern has made me feel inadequate about my own ability to correctly sustain a curl, and I’ll be damned if she doesn't get the recognition in aesthetics she so rightfully deserves. And here’s the thing: Social media certainly agrees.


This Twitter user knows the hair envy experienced at the hands, or uh, waves, of Dern, writing, “Laura Dern’s hair is what I want my hair to do nevertheless it never does,” and this person even believes, and might have a point, that her hair isn't of this world. To that I say: Neither is Dern.


There’s still time to right this wrong, and as we start to look toward the next awards show, perhaps we take a cue from this mastermind and just give Dern’s hair all the awards.
