The organization said the perception that many members are not serious journalists is “outdated and unfair” and that it is committed to addressing the lack of Black members.With the pandemic eliminating in-person film festivals, splashy premieres and glad-handing parties , the Globes is all academy members have right now, and you can imagine them, stuck watching this video call that would never end , feeling sad, a tad thrown and even a little happy at the sight of so many familiar faces.
The Globes are mistakenly labeled by some as an Oscar bellwether; in fact, the group has honored the academy’s best picture winner just twice in the past five years — and that’s with two categories, drama and comedy/musical. So it would be wrong to put much weight in the wins for “Nomadland” and “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm,” though
As for the acting winners, the late Chadwick Boseman locked down the lead actor Oscar the moment voters began seeing his electrifying performance in “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” and the way he conveyed August Wilson’s words and ideas about the obstacles Black people face in fighting for their place in the world. Accepting the Globe, Taylor Simone Ledward, his wife, made us feel his loss acutely again.
GlennWhipp I enjoyed seeing the nominees in their own settings, with the people (and pets) they specifically chose to share the moment with. Those who were alone (looking at you James Corden) seemed very sad and lonely.
GlennWhipp That’s a bit harsh - I’m sure you have been in Zoom hell lots of times and know what it’s like?
GlennWhipp thank you very much for your work
