The awards show also differ in mood. Compared to the straight-laced Academy Awards, the Golden Globes are a downright party. Over 75, glasses of free Champagne are doled out at each Golden Globes ceremony, lending to some memorable, free-wheeling speeches.
Who selects the winners? Members of the HFPA can vote across categories. To briefly summarize a very complicated process, the winners on the Academy Awards are chosen by the approximately 7, voting members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The Academy is divided into 17 branches that cover each realm of the industry, from cinematography to acting. Members in each specific branch provide their top five choices for nominees in that field though everyone can nominate a best picture. Once the arduous nomination process is over and the nominees are set, all members can vote for a winner in each category.
Why are the Academy Awards considered to be more prestigious? It all comes back to the award show's voting body. Winners of the Academy Awards are selected by their peers, the highest honor. In comparison, winners of the Golden Globes are deemed worthy by film critics — experts, but outsiders nonetheless.
What do winners walk away with? Aside from glory, you mean? The Golden Globes award is — surprise, surprise— a golden globe perched on a pedestal. Winners of the Academy Award take home a little gold man. The Golden Globes are the first big awards ceremony in the Hollywood calendar.
They are hosted by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, a non-profit organisation of showbiz journalists and photographers. The Globes have more categories — two types of Best Picture, for example — which comes to a total of 25 awards; 14 for films and 11 for television. Because the people voting for the awards are all industry members, the awards are generally based on merit. Directors vote for Best Director, actors vote for the Best Actor and Best Actress awards, screenwriters vote for the Best Screenplay awards - and so on.
This means winners are chosen by their Hollywood peers, which is considered to be the highest honour. The awards are often given at a formal ceremony. The first award ceremony was held in and fifteen statuettes were awarded during that ceremony. Currently, the Academy Awards has more than a dozen categories and also includes various different types of film.
The Academy Awards take place in February of each year. The Oscars is an infromal term for the Academy Awards. An Oscar is interchangeable for an Academy Award. They are one and the same thing.
