The Golden Globe Awards carry political significance.
In terms of age, this award is inferior to the American film award Oscar because the Golden Globe award was born in 1944. It was not founded by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences but was the idea of the Federation of Journalists and Reporters Associations in Hollywood. At that time, that is, in the early 40s of the last century, the Hollywood press created this award to gain deeper access to the American film world and to create a certain counterweight (not competition) to the Oscar award.
Due to a number of scandals and scandals, the aforementioned journalists' association was dissolved. Another consortium was established to own and operate the Golden Globe Awards. This year, the Golden Globe Awards were held for the 81st time and the first time with a new organizing committee.
In the world of American culture and cinema, there is a saying “Golden Globe first, Oscar statuette later”, which means that the annual Golden Globe awards are held before the Oscar awards are held. Therefore, the developments and final results of the annual Golden Globe awards are seen as a sign of the Oscar awards and as a screening of films for the Oscar awards. There are many people and films that win the Golden Globe awards and then also win the Oscar awards. At the same time, there are many films that, because they were not nominated for the Oscar awards, participate in the Golden Globe awards to “take revenge” or to promote the media. Through this, it can be seen that the Golden Globe awards put competitive pressure on both the art of cinema and the way of organization and the media effect is not small for the Oscar awards.
The second special thing about this year's Golden Globe Awards is that almost all of the jury's decisions were agreed upon by international film critics and the public. Such a consensus is extremely rare in major and minor film awards around the world. The reason seems to be that the new owners of the Golden Globe Awards have made two very important changes to the selection of awards. First, if previously the jury decided to have only 100 people, this year the number has been increased to 300, which is three times more. Second, the composition of the "new jury" has become "much more international" than before. Thanks to that, all final decisions of the jury are more objective and more representative, reflecting more deeply the evaluation of the world outside the United States.
Another special thing about this year's Golden Globe Awards, although not intentional or imposed by the organizers because the works and personnel awarded were truly worthy and excellent, is that it mentioned one of the topics that has always been very sensitive in America about the issue of indigenous people, the indigenous people in America, about their role in American history and about the responsibility of modern society today towards their present and future.
Notably, the lead actress Lily Gladstone in Martin Scorsese's Killer of the Flower Moon , who won the Golden Globe for Best Actress, is of Native American descent, and the film itself is about Native Americans in ancient times. Like the Oscars, this year's Golden Globes, whether or not they were intended to be, cannot be separated from politics.
