Golden Globes Primer:
- The Golden Globes is the one where TV and Movie stars are in the same room, drinking booze and "anything can happen!"
- It was almost cancelled permanently a few years ago because of shadiness.
- It's considered an indicator of what may happen at the Oscars.
Noteworthy:
In Movies, One Battle After Another won a lot (Best Comedy/ Director/ Screenplay/ Supporting Actress).
Hamnet won for drama. KPop Demon Hunters won for animation and original song. Timothée Chalamet won for acting in Marty Supreme. Rose Byrne won for acting in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, which was in the comedy category which might be stretching it a bit.
In television, Adolescence won a bunch of awards (best limited series and the actors won a bunch of trophies). The Pitt won for TV drama and Noah Wyle won for acting in it. The new show Pluribus got some attention (Rhea Seehorn won for acting in it). The Studio won best comedy TV show and Seth Rogan won for acting in it.
Snubs or Surprises:
- The Sinners movie didn't win for acting/directing/screenplay
- Hamnet won best drama movie (see above note re Sinners)
- Guillermo Del Toro’s ‘Frankenstein' was considered at least in contention for something, but failed to win.
- Wicked: For Good wins nothing.
- Bugonia starring Emma Stone wins nothing.
