It will be the opposite. Oscar voters will still take much of their lead from the Globes as always.
Exactly. I laugh when I see people here say Globes don’t matter just because they missed three of the acting winners this year

If the Golden Globes end up being taken as seriously as usual this year, then there’s this important stat we should take into account. Every single Oscar winner for Best Picture since The Departed in 2006 has at least been nominated for both directing and screenplay at the Globes. While no one from the Hollywood Foreign Press is a member of the Academy, it’s still a pretty significant stat nonetheless. If that trend continues this year, then we should be looking at Belfast or The Power of the Dog to come out on top at the Oscars.

ReplyCopy URLBrian Cox acknowledged his Golden Globe nomination and noted the changes from the past 20 years. “They are beyond what they used to be 20 years ago — it was a pretty moribund organization. I find it extraordinary because I don’t know the ins and outs of it, but certainly there’s a hell of a lot of amazing female journalists on the Golden Globes which were not present before. There’s some really good women there and they’re doing a great job, so I felt very sorry for them that there was this attack on the organization,” he said. “But if you’re honored, you’ve got to respond by saying ‘thank you,’ rather than go, ‘Oh yeah, you honored me, now f**k off.’ I think that would be absolutely the wrong thing to do, and I wouldn’t do that anyway. We always have this ambiguous thing about awards anyway; we always feel, ‘Is it about awards?’ It’s about the work.”
