What's the difference between the Oscars and the Golden Globes?
The preeminent awards in the field of motion pictures and arts include The Golden Globe Awards and The Academy Awards. The Golden Globe Awards are distributed annually by the HFPA i.e. Hollywood Foreign Press Association. It is given in both domestic and foreign categories. The Academy Awards popularly known as the Oscars are undoubtedly the most prestigious in all awards. It is awarded by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The Golden Globe Awards are always followed by the Oscars. In other words, we can say that, the Oscars are always preceded by The Golden Globe Awards. The first Academy Awards ceremony was held on May 16, 1929. The venue for the ceremony was Hotel Roosevelt located in the Hollywood. The first Golden Globe Awards ceremony was held in the year 1944 (in the month of January). The venue for the ceremony was the 20th Century Fox studios located in the Los Angeles, California. The Golden Globe Awards are given to all the forms of media, but Academy Awards are given only to the motion pictures (including both documentary & animation feature films). Yes, in case of Oscars separate awards are given to writer(s), an original music score, cinematography and screenplay. Posthumous nominations and awards are common in both Golden Globes and Oscars. The voting system followed by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (for Golden Globes) and American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (for Oscars) are quite distinct from one another. The voting in Golden Globe is done by the international journalists who are living in Hollywood and are affiliated with the media outside the USA. In case of Oscar, the voting is done by the academy’s committee members. The voting bloc is divided into different categories like for actors, directors, writers and so on. Presently, the actors comprise the major voting bloc in the Oscars.
Does winning a Golden Globe guarantee an Oscar win a few weeks later?
Nope, it's not. To consider that Golden Globes is the ultimate Oscar “predictor” is not true. See even their structures are not same.Golden Globes has two categories for movies - Drama and Musical/Comedy, it provides us with two probabilities, whereas the Oscar has only one. Eventually the awards for actors and actresses also get split up into two categories in the Golden Globes, again giving us two probabilities, which is not in the case of the Oscar. In 2016, The Revenant won the Golden Globe for Best Drama, beating out eventual Oscars Best Picture winner Spotlight. The year before that, eventual Oscars Best Picture winner Birdman was defeated by The Grand Budapest Hotel for Best Comedy at the Globes. Only 17 of the last 30 films that won a Best Picture Golden Globe went on to win the Best Picture Oscar.Golden Globes as an Oscar foreteller only works for acting categories. Since the year 2000, the Globes and the Oscars failed to match up only four times in the Best Actor category, and only twice in Best Actress (the Globes went with Kate Winslet for Revolutionary Road instead of The Reader, and they didn’t award Halle Berry for Monsters Ball).Bottom line: Exceptions happen, but if gone by the data, only acting honours can be predicted by the Globes.Hope you find it helpful.
Which award is greater, the Oscar, Emmy, Golden Globe, or the Acadame Award?
Oscar and Acad aw. are the same(movies) Emmy(Television), Golden Globe is like a step below the Oscar, right? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Why are the Oscars more prestigious than the Golden Globes?
It's simple. The Oscars are more prestigious because they are voted on by the Academy. Directors vote for Best Director, actors vote for the Best Actor and Best Actress awards, screenwriters vote for the Best Screenplay awards, etc. In short, the winners are chosen by their Hollywood peers, which is the highest honor. The Golden Globes are chosen by the Hollywood Foreign Press, an outside group of film critics. In the industry, it's known as the better party compared to the Oscars (for those who attend), but if one had to choose between a Golden Globe win and an Oscar, well, you know the answer to that.
What do actors consider more prestigious, winning an Oscar or a Golden Globe?
The Oscar is much more valuable to an actor, both for professional reasons and financial reasons.Oscar voters -- some 6,000 individuals -- are movie-industry professionals. Golden Globes voters -- some 91 of them -- are part-time reporters for movie publications, many very obscure. Much more emotionally gratifying to receive kudos from one's peers than from a motley collection of industry journalists.An Oscar-winning or Oscar-noinated actor can command a higher salary on his or her next project.A Golden Globe does very little economically for the actor. A Globe is believed to boost (modestly) the box office.
Difference between the oscars, grammys, tonys and golden globe award shows?
The Oscars- An award show which recognizes excellence of professionals in the film industry, including directors, actors, and writers. Probably the most prestigious, well-known, and greatest honor to win. Decisions for winners of the awards are bestowed by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS). The Grammys- An award show for all elements that go into music and awards artists of different genres for their efforts. Decisions for winners are awarded by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States The Tonys- An award show for only broadway shows and their performers. Decisions for winners are presented by the American Theatre Wing and The Broadway League. The Golden Globes- An award show which recognizes excellence in film and television, both domestic and foreign. Very prestigious but not quite so as much as the Oscars. Decisions for awards are voted by the members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA.) My personal favorite is The Oscars because I am a huge film fan, and I think the best red carpet fashion comes out for this particular one, but they are all fun to watch.
