Top 10 Times the Golden Globes Got It RIGHT!

[@jennywhite5531]

Huge agree on mickey Rourke. I had an Oscar party that year with a pool that was split on Rourke vs Penn. When Penn won the entire room erupted like it was the superbowl. I was devastated. Milk was great but mickey Rourke deserved that oscar

[@toplaycool21]

Barbra Streisand's win was a groundbreaking moment at the Golden Globes. In my honest opinion, it paved the way for Penny Marshall, Nora Ephron, Jane Campion, Nancy Meyer, Katherine Bigelow, Greta Gerwig, Chloé Zhao, Ava DuVernay, Sofia Coppola, and Sarah Polley to name a few. As for Boyhood, I agree. It should've won because who makes a movie for 12 years like that? Sweeping all the awards was definitely a require for Boyhood but sadly that didn't happen.

[@dj71162]

Yeah, Boyhood is a great achievement and all, but what's special about the direction? Directors are voting don't forget, so it's not surprising to me that they went for Birdman as it's more visually unique and engaging.

[@KealebogaJames]

Lady Gaga too. Hollywood had a problem with admitting a brilliant singing woman can be a brilliant acting woman

[@mohitrawat5225]

​@@KealebogaJamesfor what movie are you taking about? For A star is born? I don't think she deserved. She was brilliant in that movie but Olivia Coleman was way better in The Favourite.

[@DAN-lo7fz]

Give Best Director to a female director even though she’s not the best director of the year but only because she’s the first female director to ever win and it paves the way and sends a message??? That just doesn’t fly with me and is quite frankly mildly condescending. Looking back, I don’t think anyone can make a case that Yentl is anywhere close in stature and quality to Terms of Endearment. Giving the Oscar to Barbra Streisand over James L. Brooks would be travesty. Streisand is not even the 2nd or 3rd best. That would arguably be Ingmar Bergman and Philip Kaufman.

[@jhhone]

A few years ago Ms. Streisand was a presenter and commented that no other woman director had won in like 36 years. She said "Come on, guys Time's Up" playing on the famous hashtag at the time about the treatment of women in the entertainment industry.

Yes! Do a Peter O'Toole elusive Oscar video! This man was so screwed by the academy! Lawrence of Arabia, The Lion in Winter, and My Favorite Year were def worthy of an Oscar. It is amazing to me that Art Carney and George Burns both have Oscars for comedic roles, but My Favorite Year (a much better performance than either of those winners) somehow gets maligned. In The Lion in Winter, the banter between him and Hepburn was magnificent!

[@lexkanyima2195]

O'Toole would have won 2 Oscars while he was reaching his prime. 3 times could have good, but The Lion In Winter as King Henry after Becket was maybe a repeat character.

[@rpg-easyas-123]

Tom Cruise missing the Oscar for Magnolia is crazy to me. It's one of my all time favorite movies and for him to stand out in THAT ensemble is wild. Against type casting, incredible screenplay, masterful direction for an ALL-TIME performance of one of the biggest movie stars Hollywood has ever known. And even if he had beat MCD and HJO, I'd understand their fans argument. But for all of them to lose to Michael Caine was shocking then and even more so now

[@TheDududu44]

To me, every other nominees were more deserving than Caine.

[@brandonsytes8373]

After Cruise, the next deserving pick is Jude Law. He completely owned that movie, against that cast, owning every frame. No wonder Damon becomes obsessed when that sense of infatuation is tangibly felt audience wise, all while making it look effortless. AND, once Jude’s screen time is over with, Law’s absence for the rest of the movie is definitely felt.

The Lion in Winter is one of my favorite films. Hepburn and O'Toole are phenomenal and yes, O'Toole absolutely deserved an Oscar for that performance!

I must say that Diane Warren finally winning an award - the Golden Globe - in 2011 for "Haven't Seen the Last of Me" from 'Burlesque', was well delivered. Even though Burlesque isn't the greatest movie, that specific song with Cher's strong vocals, lyrics and musical arrangement are AMAZING. It's sad that this iconic song wasn't nominated for an Oscar. Warren has been nominated so many times, and one time she deserved to be nominated, she wasn't.

[@Manuelcolon24]

Also, her win for Io Si was great too and IMO should have won her the Oscar.

[@navidhudson7065]

She should've won either for the Burlesque song or Io Si, the latter was a collab with Laura Pausini which I did not expect to happen but was amazed. It's the first non English song to win a Golden Globe.

[@DAN-lo7fz]

Diane Warren is a bit of a hack to me and all her songs are interchangeable and boring as hell.

[@simonsmatthew]

Can't say I am a Diane Warren fan myself. Apart from a fact I don't like the songs, they seemed to be removed from the film and stand out, like a bad film score. The Academy seems to have a love affair with Diane Warren which I think shuts out up and coming song-writers. But more fundamentally than that, I prefer the film's composer writing the music to the song of a movie. There seems to be a move away from that. It's a pity. It is like watching an opera but with the main aria composed by someone else.

I agree with Norton and Cruise. As an honorable mention: Andra Day should've won the Oscar instead of Frances McDormand (for the third time)!! I mean I don't have any problems with a good quiet performance but that's exactly what is was: good. All of the other nominees Day, Davis, Mulligan, etc. were excellent and therfore more deserving, imo.

[@navidhudson7065]

Agreed, there's a reason why I can't stop watching Andra Day singing Strange Fruit in that movie. Just look at her searing eyes and how she commanded us to listen to what she was singing, not to mention how she looked and sounded so much like Billie Holiday.

[@laurajones1773]

Haven’t seen The United States vs. Billie Holliday, but I think Carey Mulligan should have won for Promising Young Woman over McDormand.

Norton was good (let alone real good for a debut) but not great, really didn't see what was special of Tom Cruise's acting in Magnolia.

​@suarezguy Carey's elusive Oscar could be a fun watch. I have been a big fan since I was a teenager.

[@bev9708]

What an awesome list you made here Brian!! AND it also makes an excellent argument as to why the GGs are given so much importance too! 2 of my biggest pet peeves over the years have been both Tom Cruise and Ed Norton’s Oscar loses, so yes indeed it is a relief they at least got a GG!!!

​@@jonathanvelazquezph.d.2719actually she might have won for The Wife if the Oscars have continued their 'overdue' narrative trend. But in the last few years Oscars have started to take more risks rather than going for the safer stuff and overdue narrative.

[@nitsugazemag]

I'm mostly aligned with your picks, but it's weird that you said at the top of the video that your picks were present at both, but Yentl was snubbed at the Academy. I think Birdman's win isn't bad. I'm surprised that Michael Keaton's loss didn't make the list because that was him at the top of his game in a film with outstanding performances by Emma Stone in her first nomination, Edward Norton in his third and Michael Keaton's one and only, so far, nomination after many years of being passed over and snubbed who was winning everywhere. Birman is a very dense, stylistic big swing with exceptional and vibrant cinematography, direction, acting that was too good to ignore. Boyhood is an exceptional chronicle. If anything, I'd loved for there to be a tie. Iñarritu has proven his exceptional talent in directing more a couple or so times before his win with one specific film that should have gotten him a win, Babel. If things were different, I'd have him win for Babel, lose for Birdman or tie, then win again for Revenant. Richard Linklater is such a versatile filmmaker that doesn't cover just one genre or sub-genre but finds fascinating new avenues to explore such as his rotoscopic A Scanner Darkly, a quirky southern gothic Bernie, a timeless 70s film about the final day of high school with Dazed and Confused, his sprawling intimate conversations spread out within a 18 years timespan of a couple at the beginning, middle and later time in their relationship with the Before trilogy, and a 12 year coming-of-age film that is his crowning achievement to date: Boyhood. I guess the Academy went for the flare and technical artistry of Iñarritu's vision. It would be great if there was some rubric to rate aspects of films for these types of awards to where most of the wins would be founded in a more just way, but films, like any other form of media, is subjective. I do hope Linklater has another shot to take home the gold before his next mammoth 19-ish year stretch with his adaptation of Merrily We Go Along 🤞.

Burt Reynolds for Boogie Nights won the Golden Globe but Robin Williams won for Good Will Hunting at the Oscars instead because the momentum shifted late in that award season and it was the fourth nomination for Williams after three previous losses.

I agree with everyone on your list, especially Peter O'Toole and Sharon Stone, Sharon not winning the Oscar for best actress that year was one of the biggest Oscar mistakes of the 90s! The curious thing is that people to this day talk more about her performance than about the actress who won the Oscar that year, I see more videos on KZbin of Sharon's remarkable performance than of the actress who won the Oscar for best actress, this shows that in addition to Sharon's interpretation of being better also entered pop culture. And I tell you what, Sharon lost that Oscar because Susan already had 5 nominations and hadn't won yet and because people were prejudiced against Sharon as an actress.

Call me pretentious but Im amazed that she can be such a big star in France and make such weird, crazy projects like Elle and The Piano Teacher. When you think of movie stars you think of actors who are in movies that for the most part are well liked but Elle is so dark, weird, twisted and somehow comedic if it got pitched to Kathy Bates or Cate Blanchett it would immediately get torn to shreds. And she does such a good job at guiding you through her characters´ reaction to her attack and how she navigates the already hostile world around her, her performance is the epitome of carrying the movie

Great concept for a video, and some incredible choices. I *love* Barbra Streisand, and would have been fine with a nomination for Yentl, but I wouldn’t have chosen her over Brooks, Bergman, Nichols, or even Philip Kaufman, who was egregiously snubbed. It was a stellar year for directors in a relatively lackluster decade.

[@joshdrayton1230]

Streisand's direction of Yentl was easily more impressive than at least two of the other Oscar nominees that year - Peter Yates The Dresser (predictably stagey) and Mike Nichols Silkwood (okay film, but hardly his best work). So she should at least have been nominated. Winning is always a lottery and there are many different ways of evaluating the relative merits of a film's direction. James L. Brooks delivered an emotional rollercoaster of a film, with excellent performances. But with Shirley Maclaine and Jack Nicholson excellent performances are kind of a given. And the film is essentially a soap opera; it's success is in the script, more than the direction. I would argue that Streisand delivered far more inventive and nuanced direction (look at the Will Someone Ever Look At Me That Way sequence in Yentl), while navigating the pitfalls of a very unconventional musical and a period setting, and she also delivered excellent performances from far less experienced film actors.

[@maxfieldfulton]

@@joshdrayton1230 Great points! Though I do think Brooks’s direction is impressive. I agree that Terms is a soap opera, but how he condenses such a long format into two hours is inventive. The film’s unostentatious lapses in time prefigure Boyhood’s elliptical narrative structure, and there’s hardly a scene in the film that lack’s an arresting emotional truth. The screenplay and performances are certainly doing some heavy lifting, but Brooks’s direction brings it all together poignantly and economically, even if the film lacks some of the auteurist flourishes and aesthetic precision of Yentl.

[@RadioLaPrincess]

Janet Leigh should have won. I think Shirley Jones is fantastic but if you asked most people today, most would say the role Shirley Jones is known for is Shirley Partridge.

[@souviendra]

off to a great start with Edward Norton, I get grumpy fast when I think about his losses at the Oscars for Primal Fear and American History X

[@sebastiano728]

Agree with a lot of this list, but can't stand behind number 1. Despite the 12-year-long effort, the film is just a decently-directed drama. Not one of my favourite Linklater projects. If they'd switched actors throughout the film and made it in one summer, he probably wouldn't have been nominated for Best Director. Iñárritu's work for Birdman is breathtaking, and deservedly won him Best Director. If anything (and I'm not a big fan of Fury Road), Miller should have beaten Iñárritu the year he won for Revenant. MM:FR is a visual feat (even if the plot is thin), and it was unnecessary for AGI to win two Oscars back-to-back.

[@MichaelMoorePDX]

I think what makes this hard is that actors typically feed off each other in their performances. Both O'Toole & Hepburn were at the top of their games, and they made each other seem even better. Same with Leigh & Perkins. But the Academy didn't recognize Perkins, so Leigh was passed over for Jones, who had Lancaster's Oscar-winning performance to bask in. Stone being the only nominee for Casino made it harder for her to win.

[@keshavchunylall3867]

I also was suprised, that Madonna beat Frances McDormand at globes for Evita, at least an oscar nom would be fair. Tom Cruise I also have for magnolia and Peter O Toole of course. That lost was rediculous.

I enjoyed your video so much..Boyhood, the Barbarian Invasions and The Secret in your eyes might be my favorite movies of all time and the Academy should have honoured Linklater for his fantastic project. I also enjoyed very much the Golden Globe for Austin Butler 2022, Glenn Close 2019, Cate Blanchett 2022, the power of the dog 2021.

I always wondered something: why is it that a director can win the best director award but their film would fail to win best picture? And the reverse, how can a movie win best picture but the director doesn't win? Thanks✌🏾

[@raymondtitano3819]

Two reasons: 1. Best Picture is voted on by the entire membership of the Academy, but other categories have specific branches that vote on them. The group of voters that votes on Best Director is maybe 10% of the entire body, so their collective taste may not align with the general consensus. 2. Best Picture uses a preferential ballot, kind of like ranked-choice voting. It's tough to explain, so I'll let Vanity Fair do it below. I think Best Director is the typical whoever-gets-the-most-votes. For the Oscars, if an academy member put Movie A first and Movie A gets knocked out of the running early for lack of other votes (assuming no movie won a majority), that member’s ballot continues to have an effect on the outcome. If the member has Movie B ranked second, that ballot’s vote then goes to Movie B until one of three things happens: Movie B accumulates 50% of the vote and wins, another movie crosses the 50% threshold and wins, or Movie B is also eliminated. And the cycle continues - Movies C through J, anyone? - until one of this year’s 10 nominees crosses that 50% threshold and claims the prize. Depending on how long it takes to determine a winner, that academy member’s one vote could ultimately transfer to a number of different movies before ultimately landing in its final resting place. And that’s how and why the Oscars’ best picture winner sometimes isn’t the movie that is most passionately loved. Often, it’s the film that is most generally liked - or, for those glass-half-empty types, the picture that is least disliked.

[@lifeonabudget8513]

Wow, thanks for explaining 😂 I still find it strange that a director and their movie doesn't go hand-in-hand to win all the time but I understand now.

[@navidhudson7065]

Edward Norton absolutely should've won the Oscar instead of Cuba Gooding Jr whose career just derailed. Edward also should've won best actor for American History X or at least Ian McKellen for Gods and Monsters instead of freaking Roberto Beningi. His Oscar best actor win aged like milk alongside Cliff Robertson's win for Charly. Peter O'Toole got an honorary Oscar sure but he really should've won once. Another very bad win, Tom Hooper winning over David Fincher and Darren Aronofsky, like what. Best picture goes to King's Speech, fine but did they really have to give it director too? That's definitely one of those times when the Golden Globes got it right, sometimes they do make great choices.

[@mactodd36]

Wholly agree. Boyhood was a passion project, so unknown in scripted drama, reminds me of the Apted 7up documentaries. Made it in secret, was so perfectly cast especially with the young actors. A brilliant job. The fact that the Oscar went to Birdman showed some subversiveness, but Linklater definitely deserved that Oscar.

[@laurajones1773]

Linklater was robbed that year.

[@singstreetcar5881]

Mikey rouke lost that oscar because of his behaviour.

[@santos8468]

Hot take. The Golden Globes (almost) always get it right.

[@maryelizaabeth_]

Sharon Stone definitely should’ve won for Casino! It’s one of my favorite movies.

[@DrtyALGreen]

Sharon Stone was so good in Casino. I still have trouble to this day separating her from that and not holding a grudge. Phenomenal performance, one of my favorite performances ever as it showed me how far a good performance can get in your head for the first time.

[@nickmadison422]

You mentioned Michael Caine in relation to his win over Tom Cruise. I 100% agree. But I think the same could be said about his first win for Hannah and Her Sisters. Tom Berenger won the GG for Platoon and I think he was more deserving. Caine was fine but Berenger was intense and frightening. The perfect villain for such an intense film.

[@CapricornBG]

I'm gay but I literally don't care about "Milk". Let's please delegate the traditional biopic to the documentary genre. The "Wrestler" is above and beyond a better film & performance than "Milk".

[@rezadano6310]

Lauren Bacall vs Juliette Binoche Best Supporting Actress (1997) Sam Mendes vs Bong Joon Ho Best Director (2020) Ben Affleck vs Ang Lee Best Director (2013)

[@laurajones1773]

1917 is a great film, but Bong Joon Ho is more deserving. If 1917 is released a different year, Sam Mendes should have won for that movie.

[@laurajones1773]

I think Katherine Bigelow should’ve won for Zero Dark Thirty.

[@rahulsaran836]

The list fails tremendously as you failed to include Cate Blanchett over Gwyneth Paltrow when CB went on to win best actress at Globes for Elizabeth, and GP went to win Oscar for Shakespeare In Love.

[@jaczbuezozavala5292]

Andrew Garfield should've taken that oscar over Will Smith

[@brianeduardo1234]

Agree with all except Saen Penn for Milk - he became Harvey Milk - nice video

[@nymet2454]

Sharon Stone with long hair is stunning.

[@Javachacin]

I love that you make these videos validating the amazing work that was ignored or undervalued, THANK YOU. The Streisand, Cruise and Linklater loses are so thoughtless, they actually hurt like it’s a personal offense. Thank you for giving them their due here.

[@veldagauthier1504]

Thank you for this the only one I disagree with is the Michael Caine that performance for Cider House rules left an impression and is the force of that movie ..the whole goodnight you kings is still memorable

[@chuckrainey8036]

Iñárritu’s two director Oscars were so carried by Emmanuel Lubezki that the whole thing feels like a stunt now. Birdman is one of the more fascinating BP winners but I was honestly so glad to see Spotlight beat the Revenant the next year. Linklater will get his Oscar in like twenty years when Merrily… comes out and the Academy is like “oh, yeah, we forgot to do this”
