acsc1312 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Academy Award nominee. Especially because the Globes split up categories. If you're an Oscar nominee, you know you're the best of the best, even if you lose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egoplant Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Golden Globes don't mean shit, they are one of the worst award shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webslinger Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Being nominated for an Oscar carries far more prestige than winning a Golden Globe. Just look at Jim Carrey: Two Globe wins (both for serious performances), zero Oscar nominations, very little respect as a dramatic actor despite the fact that he has the chops.

forg Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Oscar nom definitely. Golden Globe awards is just for publicity, part of the Oscar campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishstick Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Win always trumps nom but BSA win isn`t nearly as highly regarded as BA win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
