The Golden Globes have been mired in scandal in recent years, from accusations of bribery, and a wilful lack of diversity, to flat-out racist statements, and even sexual assault. It got so bad during lockdown that NBC refused to broadcast the 2022 ceremony.

And yet, despite it all, the Golden Globes remain one of the best early indicators of what will come out tops at the Academy Awards of the same year. Decided by the 87-member Hollywood Foreign Press Association (a group of international journalists), Golden Globe nominees and winners lean to the more popularist and high-profile side as opposed to accolades dished out by the various critics’ bodies. They also include TV categories alongside their big screen brethren.

Last night in Los Angeles, the “reformed” Golden Globes were announced at a (once again) broadcast ceremony, this time hosted by Jerrod Carmichael. If you’re placing bets in the lead up to the announcement of Academy Award nominations on 24 January, right now you want to put your money behind two films: Steven Spielberg’s semi-autobiographical ode to cinema The Fabelmans (2 wins); and dark tragi-comedy The Banshees of Inisherin (3 wins), which is set on a remote Irish island in the 1920s.

Meanwhile, in terms of performances, the Golden Globes has set up a clash of ultra-prestigious drama and offbeat action comedy. Cate Blanchett won Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama for playing a highly complex orchestral composer and conductor in Tár, while Michelle Yeoh was named Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy for portraying exhausted multiversal heroine Evelyn in Everything Everywhere All at Once. In a comeback of note, Yeoh’s co-star Ke Huy Quan also won in the category of Best Supporting Actor (which spans all genres).

And since you’re reading about the results on this website, you’re probably a fan of animated movies. In that regard, Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio won in the Best Animated Motion Picture category, beating out the likes of Marcel the Shell With Shoes On, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, and Turning Red.
