When the 2022 Golden Globes nominations were announced, we proposed a thought experiment: If someone holds an awards show and it’s not televised and people don’t show up for it, does it still exist?

Well, the answer is ... sort of. The Golden Globes were announced yesterday, although without the usual glitz and glamour of a red carpet and celebrity presenters and attendees. After a year of scandal and controversy, NBC canceled their annual broadcast of the Globes, leaving the group to announce their winners basically on Twitter — where they had some truly strange moments, like promoting West Side Story’s win for Best Musical or Comedy with a tweet hailing “If laughter is the best medicine @WestSideMovie is the cure for what ails you.” Ah yes, the cure for what ails you is a belly laugh brought about by the timeless comedy [checks notes] West Side Story. 

(The Globes later deleted that tweet and replaced it with one that read “If music is the best medicine @WestSideMovie is the cure for what ails you,” because as we all know and say all the time, music is the best medicine for what ails you.)

The top winners on the film side were Jane Campion’s western The Power of the Dog and the aforementioned laugh riot West Side Story. The big TV prizes went to Succession and Hacks. As for what this means for the Oscars, these awards typically get a lot of attention, and thus can be seen as a potential influencer in the Academy Awards. But if no one watches the show, and the only thing people talk about are how bizarre the group’s tweets were, I’m not sure the Globes will serve their same role as a key precursor.
