It is surely not for his track record that the 2022 edition of Golden Globes will come into history. Rewards – widely dominated by two films, The Power of the Dog and West Side Story – will not have savored their statuette, and for good reason, the strange ceremony of an old Hollywood institution of nearly 80 years took place in camera, Sunday, January 9 in Bevery Hills, without star, without red carpet or photographer.
In the heart of the storm for a year, the Association of the Hollywood Foreign Press (HFPA) has itself unveiled its choices for the best movies and series of the year 2021, thanks to simple tweets , and an update continues of its website. Difficult to know what will be the impact of this palmares in the Oscars race, while the Golden Globes traditionally launch the price discounts in Hollywood.
In any case, the HFPA will have tried for two hours to restore his coat of arms, with small videos of support from the rare stars agreeing to lend themselves to the game, and put forward the efforts of the association to support The middle of cinema. Not sure that sufficient to erase the accusations of corruption, racism and sexism that pushed NBC not to broadcast the ceremony this year, waiting for a possible reform.
“The Power of the Dog “largely rewarded
The palmaresis can also be seen as a reflection of this representation crisis that shakes Hollywood. Unpublished, a woman, Jeanne Campion, succeeds a woman as best director (Chloé Zhao in 2021 for Nomadland). The Dark Western The Power of the Dog also wins the Golden Globe of the best dramatic film, as well as the price of the best actor in a second role for Kodi Smit-McPhee.
West Side Story’s Steven Spielberg remake has been rewarded with the Golden Globe of the Best Comedy or Music Comedy, with Rachel Zegler the Best Actress Award in a comedy, and for Ariana Debose that of The best actress in a second role.
Television side, it is the family drama of HBO succession that rashes the bet, with the prices of the best dramatic series, the best actor for Jeremy Strong and the best female role for Sarah Snook. It should be noted that the price of the best actress in a dramatic series has for the first time been attributed to a trans actress, MJ Rodriguez, for his role in installation.
