2022 Golden Globes Awards

I tried to warn them.

Kidman will win at AACTA,  and I think she has a huge shot at winning SAG if she gets the nod.

Kidman really could be looking at Oscar #2. She has the narrative, the respect and  her performance clearly played brilliantly at industry screenings. Remember that standing ovation she got at the SAG screening?

Nicole Kidman wasn't my choice but I'm happy she won just for the sh-t ton of unwarrented hate. She definitely had one of the most challenging roles an actor can have with playing a towering icon like Lucille Ball. I thought she captured her essence and spirit even with the makeup and direction going against her. Kidman is one of my favorite actresses and would not be at all disappointed if she won her second Oscar for this.

Stewart losing isn't that surprising given the lack of support for her film but did it have to be Kidman?

West Side Story and Power of the Dog just got huge boosts which is great, and I'm glad Belfast got something. Mostly great picks, and the bad ones like Garfield and "No Time to Die" were expected. I wish it had been televised.

All the little pathetic brown-nosing Kidman sycophants better get all that jizzing out of their system tonight, cuz this is as good as it's gonna get for their Little Nicky. Stewart is 100% gonna ANNIHILATE Kidman in all the upcoming contests, all the way to the Oscars. That one-note cartoonish impression is NOT getting your Queen a 2nd Oscar. So sad! You know you're desperate when you're reduced to celebrating a fucking Globes win after the year they've had! 🤣

Well, my bigger point was that the unflattering depiction of the royal family may've irked some voters, and if they weren't happy with that, and if there's overlap in those two voting bodies, then those same voters who were irked by The Crown will utterly loathe Spencer.

Just a wild guess and I hope I'm wrong.

I see posters reacting here like an award that can't even get celebrities to attend nor TV coverage matters the slightest. Not only winning the GG this year influences positively, might even be a net negative- nobody wants to be known as "the favorite of the racists".

Yup, but especially THE #1 Stan. The guy who's so obsessed, delusional, & unhinged that he wouldn't just dye his hair blonde like the "real" Stan Mitchell, but also get breast implants & enough botox to resemble a younger Joan Rivers. Scary!

Lol! Jesus Christ, people here are bitter

I suspect some of their acting choices might have been motivated by an intention to clean their image, but still (emphasis on this 'still'), it's nice to see MJ Rodriguez finally winning something. Even if I think she was better in seasons 1 and 2, I'll pretend this is for her whole work in that show.

The Globes were trending worldwide based on just  a Twitter ceremony. It's still trending  now. The results have been covered by pretty much every major media outlet. It's still a huge, huge thing, and I think that coverage matters. Generally speaking, other industry awards are lemmings and the whole industry will be aware who won the Globes.

Also, nothing really stepped up to replace the Globes as an Oscar bellwether, so I don't think it's influence will depreciate as much as expected (even I expected it to matter less this year, but the wall to wall coverage shows of the winners announcement shows it's still a big deal). I guess the Critics Choice wanted to be that new bellwether, but the pandemic screwed that. Cancelled their ceremony...they might not even have  one. So they  can't  set the pace with stars  giving televised speeches. No one stepped up to replace the Globes.


I feel like the Globes lucked out with the pandemic spike. Lots of award season shows/events will be cancelled (like CC or Palm Springs) or done without in person ceremonies. This type of thing almost feels like the new normal.

Also, arrogant as the Globes are in their efforts to remain relevant, I think they are doing what they need to ensure their survival and will probably be back in business next year on NBC or whatever with all the stars on the red carpet (provided the pandemic isn't still an issue). It seems like most of the studios were covertly still campaigning with the HFPA,  despite public statements that they wouldn't. Cynical as fuck, but that's Hollywood .

Looks like they made a pretty conscious effort to dispel the "racism" cloud with their winners at least (they apparently have some black members now as well ). The Underground Railroad winning Best Limited series would probably have never happened  before this year. And acting winners like Will Smith, Ariana Debose,  Rachel Zegler , Michaela Jae Rodriguez,  O Yeung Su....it's pretty obvious they are making sure diversity is something they can no longer be accused of ignoring in what they reward.

I think it is still major. The results are still trending worldwide on Twitter.  Studios are openly thanking the Globes for their wins as are several stars, and receiving no backlash for it. I think the Globes are still an Oscar bellwether event this year despite everything. Shows how hard it is to finish off an organisation with their history.
