What We Learned from the Golden Globes and the SAG Nominations

Did you hear— the Golden Globes are actually back. Sure, TV ratings aren’t what they used to be, and some winners were “deep in the process of creating a new musical” instead of attending, but the awards show advertised as one big party actually recaptured that vibe on Tuesday night, particularly impressive given the two years of scandal and upheaval that came before it. 

On this week’s Little Gold Men podcast, David Canfield shares his dispatch from inside the ballroom at the 2023 Golden Globes, where Rihanna turned heads, Jennifer Coolidge stole the show, and emotional speeches from Angela Bassett and Ke Huy Quan early in the evening set the ebullient tone that followed. He joins Rebecca Ford, Richard Lawson, and Katey Rich to talk about what the Globes might mean to the overall awards race, which got another jolt of energy when the SAG Awards nominations were announced just hours after the Globes ended. Should The Fabelmans, which won two major Golden Globe awards, be worried about Michelle Williams’s surprising SAG snub? Can both The Banshees of Inisherin and Everything Everywhere All at Once pull off a pair of nominees in a single category? And should we credit Adam Sandler’s excellent Little Gold Men interview with his awards season success? (It’s OK if you don’t agree on that last part.)
