A film critic discusses the Golden Globes, stating they are widely viewed as a less prestigious award show compared to the Oscars due to past controversies surrounding the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. He suggests the ceremony lacks merit and is primarily seen as a celebratory event.
Tonight, Colin Farrell will go up against Andrew Scott for Best Actor in the Golden Globes television category – but is the ceremony worth the watch?that they shouldn’t bother.“So, the difference between the Oscars and the Globes is, first of all, they come first – and they include TV as well,” he said.
“It’s absolute muck – I mean, it is held in such contempt by the people that actually participate in it that for years they’ve really viewed it as a booze cruise and nothing else.” According to Mr Lloyd, this is because the organisation that used to run the event was massively controversial within the world of film.
