The Golden Globes, which are handed out by a group of around 90 people from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, don't always predict the winners at the Academy Awards.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association annual Golden Globe Awards will be presented Sunday Jan. 5.
For those looking to get a head start on their Oscar ballot predictions, it's tempting to use the Globes as a barometer for which films and actors will likely hoist the glittering gold trophy at the Academy Award ceremony in February. "[The Hollywood Foreign Press Association] doesn't have a high overlap with Oscar membership," Ben Zauzmer, author of "Oscarmetrics: The Math Behind the Biggest Night in Hollywood" and a mathematical Oscar predictor, said.
Zauzmer noted that the Academy tends to favor dramatic films over comedic ones. So, just because a comedy or musical film won in its best picture category at the Golden Globes doesn't mean it is automatically in contention against the film that won for best drama. It may not even get nominated for the Oscar.
