2020 GOLDEN GLOBES Award Winners list and what this might mean for The Oscars

2020 GOLDEN GLOBES Award Winners list and what this might mean for The Oscars

Last night, the (arguably) most fun of the Hollywood award shows took place hosted once again by the unapologetic Ricky Gervais, and we’ve compiled a list of winners below. Special nods to both Tom Hanks (who received the Cecil B. DeMille Award) and Ellen Degeneres (who received the Carol Burnett Award) for their exceptional speeches. Quentin Tarantino’s ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD won big taking home Best Picture Musical or Comedy, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Screenplay… don’t be shocked if we see a repeat of that come Oscar time, but it’s got big competition in 1917, which took home Best Picture Drama and Best Director for Sam Mendes (bit of trivia, Sam won Best Director and Best Picture Oscars for his first movie, AMERICAN BEAUTY) Awkwafina won Best Actress Musical or Comedy for THE FAREWELL, and Renee Zellweger won Best Actress Drama for JUDY, and you can absolutely expect these two to be competing for the Best Actress Academy Award. On the TV side, Succession snagged a couple of Globes, as did Fleabag, and it’s continually interesting to see how streaming series are pushing their way in more and more in many of these categories. While the Globes isn’t always a safe bet toward who will win at the Academy Awards, it’s usually a good indicator of who has the more likely chances, and this year’s event once again really felt like what many in the business are expecting to see come Oscar time. Some probably expected the easy Oscar bet for Best Animated Film would have been TOY STORY 4 or FROZEN II (I personally would have loved to see HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON: THE HIDDEN WORLD get it), but the surprise winner there was Laika’s MISSING LINK, so who knows now? Look for Brad Pitt and Laura Dern for Best Supporting again come Oscar time, but the Best Actor and Best Actress are tough calls – Taron Egerton and Joaquin Phoenix took home trophies last night for ROCKETMAN and JOKER respectively, but I’d guess the Academy voters will likely favor Phoenix on that one. Laura Dern’s win for MARRIAGE STORY makes her likely a lock for Oscar gold too. Did you see the show? Do you agree with the winning choices? Let us know in the comments.
