For Episode 277, we decided to do things a little differently. I was joined by Lauren LaMagna, Josh Parham, ​Ema Sasic, Dan Bayer, Zach Gilbert & Will Mavity. Together, we decided to have a laid-back, fun party as The Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced their winners live on social media while we recorded last night for the 79th annual Golden Globe Awards. As the show went on (and more alcohol was consumed), we reacted to the winners in real-time, gave our predictions for the SAG nominations & the BAFTA Longlists, discussed the state of the Oscar race and whether or not the Golden Globes mean anything this year. We have no new trailers to talk about this week, and I foolishly forgot to go over the polls during the recording (check out the results for last week's poll here), but we managed to answer some of your fan-submitted fan questions and more! We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did! Come, join the party!

Despite not having a televised awards ceremony this year, the 79th Golden Globe Awards still went ahead with announcing their annual award winners tonight via. their social media and website. What impact they'll have on this year's awards race, if any, remains to be seen. For without a televised awards show, to not see winners deliver acceptance speeches and create memorable moments which may stick out in Oscar voters minds, they'll probably have as much influence as any of the other critics groups we've announced winners for over these past few weeks.

Scandal after scandal rocked the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in 2021, leading to the cancellation of this year's Golden Globes broadcast. The show must go on, however, ill-advised or not. The nominations for the 79th Golden Globes were unveiled this morning, but perhaps with a distinct lack of the Globes' typical ridiculousness. Last year saw nominations for the likes of Sia's "Music," one of the year's worst films. This time, while the nominations aren't without snubs or surprises, none were quite so out of the left field. It remains to be seen how the Golden Globes will impact the Oscar race given their dramatic fall from grace, but my hunch is that the nominations will still drive conversation and thus affect contenders' buzz. And yet, publicists and studios will likely avoid referencing the Golden Globes in any official campaign material or advertising, making this a fascinating experiment.

Let's dive into the film nominations. What were the biggest surprises and misses? How could these nominations impact this year's awards race?

In a year where they won't have a televised awards show, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association have announced their nominees for the 79th annual Golden Globe Awards. The winners will be announced on January 9th 2022.

Two embattled Hollywood Foreign Press members that present the Golden Globes permanently quit the group a few weeks ago. It seems that rats are fleeing the sinking ship or perhaps a ship that has already sunk. The Globes have long had a history of scandal and a general feeling that the awards could be bought. This has caused them to be dumped from network TV in the past, but this time seems much more severe and perhaps insurmountable. While the past controversies of voters being easily swayed by gifts and fancy parties must have annoyed other nominees who lost, the current accusations of racial discrimination and sexual demeaning behavior towards women just won't stand in a post-#metoo/George Floyd America. NBC has already announced they won't air the show next year, and it remains to be seen if the awards will even be presented. Bad news for the Hollywood Foreign Press, but this may just be the best thing that has happened to the Oscars in years.

Now that the dust has settled and every outlet has had their chance to take pen to paper over the many failings of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association with their lack of diversity and NBC's justified cancellation of the Awards ceremony, let's pause and take a look at what this will mean for the television shows that would've competed at the 2022 ceremony.

The Golden Globes are toast, at least for the 2022 ceremony. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association's vague talk of inclusiveness, spotlighted by the lack of a single black journalist invited to join the group, has been Topic A within the film community the past few weeks, with some in Hollywood hoping that the HFPA gets its act together for 2023, and others simply saying "Good riddance!"

Although some journalists and publicists considered the Globes with disdain at the privileged demands made by many in the group's membership, the fact remains that the Globes have had an enormous impact on some films in their campaigns for Academy Award consideration.

By Daniel Howat 

After months of controversy for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, NBC has announced hat the will not air the Golden Globe Awards ceremony on their network in 2022. This is a massive moment in Hollywood, where the Globes have been a fixture for more than 70 years. There are still many questions as to what this means for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) this awards season, but until significant changes are seen, the Golden Globes are in serious trouble.

​The 78th Golden Globe awards went along swimmingly for a semi-virtual ceremony in these unprecedented times. After the success that was last fall's Emmy Awards, the Globes took a different approach with a bi-coastal ceremony and stars scattered throughout their respective locations. This year's ceremony provided a clearer sense of what to expect as we approach the Oscar nominations and subsequent ceremony, outside of the logistical changes.

By Matt Neglia 

Last night, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) held the 78th annual Golden Globe Awards and as per usual for the controversial organization, the evening was filled with shocking wins, memorable moments and lots to talk about afterward. Josh Parham, Dan Bayer, Ryan C. Showers, Daniel Howat & Cody Dericks all hopped on with me after the show and we recorded our immediate reactions once the Golden Globes concluded. What did we think of the show's presentation? Its hosts, Tiny Fey and Amy Poehler? What did we think of the winners and their speeches? And of course, how does all of this impact the Oscar race? Tune in to find out and enjoy!

​As we approach the 78th Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, February 28th, the Next Best Picture team has made their predictions and checked them twice as to who will win and set off on their quest for Oscar glory. Be sure to also listen to some of us give our explanations for our predictions in our latest episodes of Next Best Series (for TV) and the Next Best Picture Podcast (for film).

​Please take a look at our choices below, from the predictable to the dark horses.

As expected, Netflix received the most Golden Globe nominations with a whopping 42. But how many wins will this translate to? Keep in mind that the Golden Globes love to spread the wealth around, which could lead to some surprises.

Let me remind everyone that the Hollywood Foreign Press tends to award a film or series with their main prize, plus another win. Meaning, if your film or television series is going to be crowned the winner, typically a performer, or on the film side, the director or writer will also win. For example, on the film side, last year the Drama winner "1917" also won Best Director (Sam Mendes) and the Comedy winner "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood" also picked up Best Supporting Actor (Brad Pitt) and Best Screenplay. On the television side, the Drama winner "Succession" picked up Drama TV Actor (Brian Cox), the Comedy winner "Fleabag" also took Comedy TV Actress (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) and the Limited Series/TV Movie winner "Chernobyl" took home TV Supporting Actor (Stellan Skarsgård).

A few more thoughts to keep in mind when making your Golden Globe predictions: Two wins is considered a lot on either the film or television side. A film doesn't want to rack up too many wins as it will put a target on the film's back. Three is a good number. Any more and your film could risk running out of steam come Oscar night ("La La Land" won seven Golden Globes and only six Oscars, not including Best Picture).

​So where does that leave us this year? Click below to see my predictions for this year's Golden Globe Awards.

While most of the world had a pretty bad year, a few performers had a great year, at least professionally, and received multiple Golden Globe nominations for their work. Three performers this year received two acting nominations: Sacha Baron Cohen for Best Comedy/Musical Actor for "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm" and Best Supporting Actor for "The Trial of the Chicago 7;" Olivia Colman for Best Drama TV Actress for "The Crown" and Best Supporting Actress for "The Father;" and Anya Taylor-Joy for Best Comedy/Musical Actress for "Emma." and Best Limited Series/TV Movie Actress for "The Queen's Gambit." Will they walk home double-empty-handed or with at least one trophy?

With Golden Globe voting currently underway, it is time for me to reveal my predictions for the upcoming Golden Globe nominations, which will be announced on February 3rd (You can listen to my television predictions in full on our latest episode of the Next Best Series Podcast here). This year, the story is all about Netflix, Netflix and Netflix. After the industry's COVID shutdown, it wouldn't be surprising to find the streamer dominating on both the film and television fronts. But the Golden Globes love to spread the wealth around, which could lead to some interesting snubs and surprises. ​

The HFPA is continuing to shake up the awards race, as the Golden Globes have reportedly shifted more category placements. As films submit for Globes consideration, the HFPA makes the final decision on whether films qualify for the Drama or the Musical & Comedy categories and whether actors should belong in Leading or Supporting categories. Variety reports some new changes, including for major Oscar contender "One Night in Miami..."
