| The old Golden Globes was probably best-known for its starf*cking reputation with celebrities, but they also had a separate Best Musical or Comedy, so they gave some lip service to nominating box-office hits, like ''The Hangover,'' ''Deadpool'' and ''Mamma Mia!'' (movies the Oscars generally would ignore). The new Golden Globes appears to be aiming for more highbrow fare, and gives away the game with the new category of ''Cinematic and Box Office Achievement,'' which appears to placate the major studios. Of the 8 nominees, 3 of the films are from Disney Studios; 3 are from Universal, including ''Wicked,'' which won this honor; plus one from Paramount and Warner. It seems to be a consolation prize for box office hits that the Globes will be largely ignoring for artistic merit. For ''Alien: Romulus,'' ''Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,'' ''Deadpool & Wolverine'' and ''Twisters,'' this would be their one and only Globe nomination. But the criteria for this category are odd. ''Alien: Romulus'' didn't make the list of top 10 highest-grossing movies, but it got nominated here. However, ''Dune, Part 2,'' which was No. 7 on that list, isn't nominated here ... and yet the Globes still gave it a nomination for Best Drama. Huh?! |
