Why are the Golden Globes seen by many as the bellwether of the Oscars?

The Academy Awards are one of the most important awards in the global film industry, although the Golden Globe Awards are not as famous as the Academy Awards, but the Golden Globes, as the first film and television awards of the year, have undoubted authority and influence in the film and television industry. The Golden Globe Awards are presented in mid-January every year, while the Oscars are presented in February every year, which basically coincides; At the same time, in general,There are many overlapping awards in the history of the two awards. Therefore, the Golden Globe Award is the bellwether of the Oscars.

However, in recent years, there have also been many cases of "deviation" of wind vanes. For example,In the sectionIn the 63rd Golden Globe AwardsThe Chinese-American director Ang Lee, who we are more familiar with, has won seven nominations, including the "Best Director" award, for "Broken Arm Mountain", and can be said to be the biggest winner of the Golden Globe Awards. After the results were announced, Ang Lee would go one step further in the next Oscar selection, but the result was unexpected, losing "Brokearm Mountain" to Haggis's "Crash" in the Oscar selection for Best Picture

The same fate as "Broken Arm Mountain" is also the box office hit "Avatar" that year, which shined in the 67th Golden Globe Awards, but lost to the little-known "Bomb Disposal Unit" in the Oscar selection.

In fact, it is normal for "deviation" to occur. The Golden Globes and Oscars are judged by two separate sets of judges. The Oscars are hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which is made up of veterans or professionals in the film industry.

The Golden Globe Awards are sponsored by:The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which is a group of reporters from around the world who are based in Los Angeles to do film reporting.

The identities of the two judges are very different, the former is an insider with professional vision and artistic evaluation standards, and the latter is a person with market acumen and familiar with business logic.

The Golden Globe Award is the best word-of-mouth award for film and television in the entertainment industry, and he is recognized by many professionals, so many people will value him very much.

Personally, I think that the Golden Globes are always shrouded in the shadow of the Oscars, more like a rehearsal before the Oscars. Hosted by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, because its timing precedes the Oscars, and after comparing the results of the two in the past decade or so, it makes sense that many people see the Golden Globes as the bellwether of the Oscars.

As we all know, the Oscars have four major weather vanes:

1. Golden Globe Award - (abbreviated as GG).

** Top prize in the field. Voted by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, it is the most prestigious and influential award in the Oscar outpost, and the first weather vane of the Oscars. The cunning reporter divided the main awards in the film category into two parts: drama and comedy.

2. Broadcast Film Critics Association Award - (BFCA for short).

The highest award for film critics. He is the most influential among more than 180 large and small film critics association awards in North America. Because of its large membership, and in contrast to the niche tendencies of the Hunger Film Critics Association in many places, the overall tastes of voters are strikingly similar to those of Academy Academy members, and they have now become the second-largest bellwether after the Golden Globes, and there is a tendency to replace them in the past two years.

Official honor from the United States**. The time is at the beginning of December each year, and it bears the brunt of the skirmish season. Counting this year, in the past 21 years, the award-winning films have not been nominated for an Oscar only 3 times, and the influence on the Oscars is considerable.

4. Four major trade union awards - producers' union, director's union (association), actors' union, and playwrights' union (association).

Because the members of the film school are often veterans of the major trade unions, the voters for the union awards often coincide with the judges of the Oscars—and in this case, the influence of the union awards on the Oscars is self-evident. Of course, within the industry, popularity is also a very important factor, which is clearly distinguished from the film critics award.

This year, after two years of silence, the first weather vane Golden Globe Award has once again saved face for itself, although the supporting actor and actress awards have not been echoed by the little golden man. In contrast, the Broadcast Film Critics Association and the National Review Association awards have a somewhat shabby hit rate. Of course, the big winner of the first class belongs to the four major union awards.

Therefore, it can be said that this year's Oscars are more like a recognition conference for industry insiders.

The following compares the results of the 4 weather vanes for the 8 major awards in the form of **. The 8 awards are: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Adapted Screenplay.
