Far from honoring its reputation as a talent scout, the organization has distributed the majority of its trophies across three already acclaimed series.
Organized during the night from Sunday to Monday in Los Angeles, the 82e Golden Globes ceremony was rushed off. In three hours, thirty cinema and television categories were to pass. Known to be mischievous and inclined to scout out talent before anyone else, the Golden Globes have reserved their share of surprises… On the cinema side with the triumphs of Demi Moore and Fernanda Torres. On the series side, the organization surprised by the academicism of their prize list. But deeply monolithic. Completely consistent with that of the Emmy Awards, delivered last September.
The 334 foreign journalists covering Hollywood film and series production distributed the majority of their trophies across three series already well established in the audiovisual landscape. Masterful adaptation of the novel by James Clavell and immersed in feudal Japan, Shogun won all the awards celebrating drama series: best series, actor, actress and supporting role. Stars of Black Doves a you Day of the Jackaltwo new spy series, Keira Knightley and Eddie Redmayne had to bow.
Jeremy Allen White unshakable
The phenomenon has repeated itself on the comedy side. Experts wondered if this fall's candy, the romcom Nobody Wants Thiswas going to arise. Not at all. Season 3 of Hacks on HBO, portrait of an actress lacking inspiration for her only one on stage won the trophies for best comic series and actress.
Despite a third season disavowed by critics, Jeremy Allen White, chef suffering from The Bearwon the Golden Globe for best comedy actor for the third year in a row. The winner was absent from the ceremony. A sign perhaps that he did not believe at all in this triumph, which defies statistics.
The phenomenon My little reindeer from Netflix dominated the field for miniseries and best supporting role. Leaving no chance to Disclaimer by Alfonso Cuaron, despite Cate Blanchett's astonishing performance.
The only survivors of this hegemony, Jodie Foster and Colin Farrell, who walked away with the miniseries actor performance awards for True Detective Night Country et The Penguin.
