Italian singer Laura Pausini is celebrating after winning a Golden Globe award for Best Original Song - Motion Picture during a ceremony streamed from Los Angeles last night. Pausini's song Io sì (Seen), written with Diane Warren and Niccolò Agliardi, is from the movie The Life Ahead, or La vita davanti a sé, directed by Edoardo Ponti whose mother Sophia Loren had a starring role.

The Italian film, whose global rights were acquired by Netflix, was nominated for a Golden Globe as Best Foreign Language Film but lost out to Minari by Lee Isaac Chung. The Golden Globe winners were notified of their success via Zoom, with Pausini receiving the good news while seated by her piano at home.
