Impact Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Okay I have given a nickname to the Globes in the past decade as "The Globes Curse"Where when the film wins the Globes it does not win the Oscar.Since ROTK winning the Globe only Slumdog and The Artist have won picture.In the 90s only 2 BP winners did not win the Globe-Silence of the Lambs and Braveheart (not nominated)So will it carry on still?Well if Lincoln wins the Globe probably not.Though ZDT/Les M. could be the 2 winners this weekend causing it to continue. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I think either Argo or Lincoln wins best drama. If Lincoln wins then I don't expect the "curse" to keep going. I also expect Playbook is going to win all 3 of the comedy awards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Well SLP does feel more like a Globe film then a Oscar film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackO Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Lincoln or Pi will win picture. Curse may have chance to fail if Pi wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sims Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I think Lincoln's chances are better with the HFPA than with the Academy, honestly (though I expect it to win with both). If it somehow loses, it begins to look pretty screwed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloneWars Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I fully expect the "Globes Curse" to continue this decade especially with nominations being announced for the GG awards even happen. This year, I see SLP winning comedy though. I am not sure what wins Drama. But, even if Lincoln wins and goes on to win BP at the Academey Awards, that doesn't mean the curse is over, it just means that this year the tastes of the Academy and the GG matched. But, this curse isn't going away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Argo is like Apollo 13 in 1995. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Gary Scott Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Looks like the curse will live on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLK Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Yep. I don't think Academy will go with Argo. There is no reason to vote Argo Best Picture and not even nominate Affleck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Only 3 films have won pic without director-Wings, Grantd Hotel and Miss Daisy. The director of Miss Daisy actually admited that he did not feel snubbed at all as he did not think it was a great directing job but other aspects made it good.Affleck is like Ron Howard in 1995-it was a race between Howard and Gibson (Howard-DGA and Gibson-Globe) but Howard had no Oscar nom..Lincoln is the most likely to win the Oscar-though Pi could cause a upset.
