I've never questioned it. I never even thought to ask until now but why? We all know that an Oscar means more than a Golden Globe, but why?

Apparently the golden globes voters are throwing a tantrum because they’re not being invited to the ceremony lol. They’re talking about withholding their votes oh no lmao

On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.


Golden globes were founded by the Hollywood Foreign Press association. Its voters are primarily foreign cinema journalists. So no americans and nobody who actually works IN the film industry. The Oscars by contrast is run by the Academy which is made up of the entire film industry and specficially selects as voting members the people within the film industry who are seen as having the most impact and prestige,

Would you consider it more impressive if your professional achievements were recognized by the most accomplished people in your industry who you would recognize even if the wider public didn't or if they were recognized by some Germans you've never heard of with very strong opinions on your industry.

quick reminder that the oscars chose Shakespeare In Love for Best Picture in 1999, over contender Saving Private Ryan. The Green Mile wasn't nominated, nor was Fight Club

does anyone remember anything about Shakespeare in Love other than Gwyneth Paltrow's boobs

In the 90s Conan O'Brien would make fun of the Golden Globes constantly and how they were worth less than Emmys so I pretty much based my entire suite of award opinions on 30 year old late night monologues

We were all future filmmakers so the INDUSTRY was very important and the Oscars were meaningful. We had watch parties and poo poo. gently caress, caring about that incredibly vapid poo poo was exhausting.

This is true. Also, the GG has a very small number of voters, and some of those voters are apparently very suggestible in the right circumstances.

Also, the Golden Globes is owned and run by Dick Clark Productions, it's like asking why the Billboard Music Awards is less prestigious than the Grammys.
