Gui Blackout Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 The Golden Globe Awards will introduce two new categories to its upcoming January broadcast, Variety has learned exclusively. The categories will honor hit movies with global reach in either box office or streaming views, as well as acknowledge the best performance in a stand-up comedy special. The first new prize is the Golden Globe for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement. Eligible nominees will be among the year’s highest-earning or most-seen feature films that also deliver creative excellence. Titles must have grossed at least $150 million during release, $100 million of which must have come from domestic box office. Streaming films with commensurate viewership will be considered based on data from “recognized industry sources,” the Globes said. Eight films will be eligible for that prize, and can also compete for categories like Best Motion Picture Drama or Comedy as long as they meet criteria for those fields. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feanor Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 I can see Barbie (inarguably the #1 box office story of 2023) win this one, while Best Musical/Comedy goes to Poor Things or The Color Purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aston Martin Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 I guess so many movies bombed at the box office this summer that actually doing well is seen as some rare achievement that needs recognition. Barbie should easily win this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Poor things could "steal" barbie win but it's golden globes, barbie is imo absolutely the favourite.

midnightdawn Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 What's the point? Awards should be based on merit, not commercial success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merit yes and it is still that way, but suggesting that commercial success isn’t or can’t be valuable feat on its own is actually wrong considering scoring high isn’t common place. Moreover, commercial success doesn’t necessarily exclude merit ( or vice versa ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
