'West Side Story' and 'the Power of the Dog' win most discredited Golden Globes
No red carpet or television broadcast or streaming No dinner and almost on the verge of extinction, the Golden Globes awards for cinema and series have been tweeted. Delivered by the Foreign Press Association (HFPA), accusations of corruption and discrimination unveiled by the Los Angeles Times caused the television network NBC to decide not to broadcast the ceremony, for the first time since 1996. The industry backed this attitude by boycotting the holding of a hypothetical broadcast gala on-line through the awards website, rejecting the invitations. Ultimately, the HFPA decided to announce the awards at a private event, with no press - other than its own associates - and no glamorous guests.

None of the nominated Spaniards have won a prize: neither Bardem nor Almodóvar nor Alberto Iglesias. The western The Power of the Dog by director Jane Campion, starring Benedict Cumberbacht, who in Venice garnered a standing ovation and the Silver Lion for best director, has won the recognition for Best Film, Best Director and Best Supporting Actor for Kodi Smit-McPhee.
The other successful film has been the remake by Steven Spielberg from West Side Story, an update, without more, of the romantic musical of 1961 that has been crashed at the box office. At the Golden Globes, she has won Best Musical or Comedy, Best Actress in this same genre for Rachel Zegler, Best Supporting Actress for Ariana DeBose. In a message posted on his Twitter account, DeBose said that "there is still work to be done, but when you have worked so hard on a project, steeped in blood, sweat, tears and love, that the work is seen and recognized will always be special".
The Best Film in a non-English language has been the Japanese Drive my car by Ryûsuke Hamaguchi, based on a story by Haruki Murakami, which won the Best Screenplay at the Cannes Film Festival in 2021. And the Best Animated Film, the unavoidable Charm, from Disney.
Congratulations to all of those nominated and all the 79th #GoldenGlobe winners! 👏
