Without the champagne or red carpet due to the epidemic, the Golden Globes Festival Sunday evening can be booked on the role of its surprises between the celebration of Hollywood directors and the long-awaited dedication of Netflix.
The video-on-demand platform has a record number of nominations this year, for a total of 42. Netflix contradicts the most valuable genres, most notably “The Seven of Chicago” and “Monk” with two of the five nominees for Best Picture. But be careful, because despite 34 nominations last year, Netflix failed to win in the big leagues in Hollywood, eventually leaving only two trophies.
The Golden Globes are one of the most coveted awards in American cinema, and this year’s competition for the Oscars can elevate favorites or, conversely, shower their confidence. As for the 2019 edition, the referee of the Hollywood Foreign Press Club, which presents these prizes, had a bare nose: all the Golden Globe winners in the cinema category won Oscars a few weeks later, except for the film music.
This year, “The Chicago Seven”, Aaron Sork’s play about the suppression of protests against the Vietnam War in 1968, and Chloe Zhao’s production of “Nomlandland” are holding the United States in their vans, both in their vans due to current themes.
“I think it’s a game between them,” said Scott Feinberg, an award expert for The Hollywood Reporter. “If there’s one surprise, it promises to be the young lady, which is unlike anything we’ve seen recently,” he adds. In addition to this feminine thriller with Gary Mulligan, “The Father” has been nominated for an old man sinking with Anthony Hopkins, as well as David Pincher’s black-and-white “Monk” for the cult film “Citizen Kane”. The primary of the best theatrical film.
Three directors, “two white comrades”
On the director’s side, Chloe Zhao is a favorite against her rivals, including two women, Emerald Fennel for “Promising Young Woman”, and Regina King for “One Night in Miami”.
“Let’s see how it goes; In the end, two whites, David Pincher and Aaron Sorkin, can win, ”says Pete Hammond, who wants to be careful. The jury’s darling, Barbara Streisand, was the only woman to win a Golden Globe in this category for her 1984 musical film “Yentl”.
The late Chadwick Bosman, who died of cancer last summer, especially starred in “Black Panther”, has a good chance of winning the Golden Globe for starring in the Netflix movie “The Blues of Ma Rainy” again. “This is his best character, and we know he knew it might be his last appearance, so it’s hard to resist,” Tim Gray analyzes.
Among actresses, Gary Mulligan is on the rise thanks to his role in “Promising a Young Woman.” She plays a young woman who quenches her thirst for revenge and plays drunk to push men to reveal their wrongdoing. However, on his way he finds Francis McDormand and Viola Davis in “My Rainy”.
Unlike the Oscars, the Globes distinguish between theatrical films and comedy. It is “Fight 2”, starring Sacha Baron Cohen in the role of the fictional Kazakh journalist and the music that holds the trunk in this second section is “Hamilton”. Sacha Baron Cohen has also been nominated for Best Supporting Actor for “The Chicago Seven”.
For the first time in the history of the Golden Globes, the festival takes place between California’s traditional Beverly Hills Hotel, with actress Amy Bohler as the festival mistress, and the Rainbow Room in New York. Celebrities including Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones. However, most stars need to be satisfied to get their trophy from home.
