I think no one in the GG actually see the movie before they cast the vote, they must have been like "Adam Sandler is in it, it must a be comedy then!".

 

until they seen the film only realise they made  a mistake. 

Is it the Golden Globes who classify it that way or the studio that submits it?

 

Even still, despite the change in rules after The Martian, it still feels like movies that aren't comedies first and foremost are being put into that category. Like Knives Out, which is a mystery first and foremost with some funny moments, is being viewed as a comedy while Marriage Story, a comedy-drama, is being treated as a drama. Last year, Get Out was nominated for Comedy/Musical.

 

Regarding Uncut Gems, people seem to think that Sandler has *no* chance now because voters had supposedly already locked in their picks when the change happened, at least mentally locked in. Their predictions still seem to be based on how voters seemed to have felt *before* the change. The reality is we have no idea how voters feel about Sandler compared to the rest of the potential nominees. I'm not saying Sandler will be getting a nomination, but the impulsive reaction to the change shouldn't be that Sandler has *no* chance to get nominated now. I mean no disrespect to Jonathan Pryce, but he hasn't been nominated for any other awards yet for The Two Popes. And Christian Bale's role in Ford v Ferrari doesn't seem as central as Sandler's does in Uncut Gems.

But if the votes already happened and people put him in comedy/musical since the film is classified as drama now does that mean those votes in the wrong category are voided ? 

When are votes finalized?

 

Could there also be a time discrepancy in terms of when they reclassified it and when it was announced to be reclassified? Could the reclassification be based on votes?

Pretty sure it's the studio and it's done based on where they think they have the strongest chances of getting nominated/winning. It makes sense that Knives Out is in Comedy given that there's a sense of playfulness to the whole thing but it would be completely disingenuous to place Marriage Story (which has some funny moments but the whole package is a decidedly downbeat affair) in any category but Drama. Pure genre flicks like Get Out, The Martian, Mad Max: Fury Road, Black Panther, etc. are more prone to category misplacement given that they fall outside of movies that are typically considered "prestigious."

Variety reported that Uncut Gems would be reclassified as a drama on Tuesday the 3rd. The end of voting was Friday the 6th at 12:00pm (pst) / 3:00pm (est).

They ought to change Comedy/Musical to Blockbuster or something like it since the category seems to be made up of the flashier movies or blockbusters or what have you regardless of actual genre.

The question is was it reclassified on that day or was it simply reported that day? Those can be two different things.

In other words, that Popular Movie category that the Academy briefly considered installing last year before backing down after everyone called BS. :lol:
