The Golden Globe winners have been announced, with the two top prizes going to 12 Years A Slave for Best Motion Picture (Drama) and American Hustle for Best Motion Picture (Musical Or Comedy).
It’s tough to tell which is the best indicator towards the Best Picture, as while normally it’s the Drama Globe that’s more likely to go onto Academy Awards success, that was actually the only award 12 Years won, while American Hustle also picked up two film actress gongs for Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence.
The other good indicator, the Best Director award, went to Gravity, suggesting it’s still a pretty open field for the Oscars.
It was a good year on the LGBT front, as Dallas Buyers Club picked up Best Actor (Drama) for Matthew McConaughey (whose character is straight but fighting for better access to HIV meds for all those affected) and Best Supporting Actor for Jared Leto’s performance as a transgender character. Leo DiCaprio picked up the other Best Actor Award (Musical Or Comedy) for Wolf Of Wall Street.
On the TV front the gay-themed Behind The Candelabra also did well, picking up a couple of gongs, including Best Mini-Series Or Motion Picture Made For Television, and Best Actor for Michael Douglas.
There were a couple of disappointments, such as Taylor Schilling losing out for the Netflix series Orange Is the New Black and Jim Parsons missing out for Big Bang Theory, but overall it was a pretty good year for films & TV that include LGBT content at the Golden Globes.
