OSCARS AND GLOBES - - DIFFERENCES


First of all, allow me to apologize for the trash links Google now inserts in this blog. If you see links in a color other than blue, please know they are trash and do not click them. Thanks!


    Nominations for the 85th Academy Awards® were announced Thursday, January 10, 2013, the Golden Globe nominations on December 13, 2012.

The Golden Globe Awards were presented a month later January 13, 2013. The Oscar® statuettes will be presented Sunday, February 24, 2013. Many think the Globes is a predictor of the Oscars. This is an unproven assumption.

The Golden Globes are sponsored by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), or members of foreign press from around the world who converge on Hollywood to vote for winners and participate in the gala television presentations. They tend to reward their personal favorites whom they want to see in person, and want to impress their readers within their home countries.  

However, they do have rules and auditors to make sure all procedures are fair and equal. The members of the HFPA are employed by media, media associations, or media services in countries other than the USA. The Globes honor those who work and perform in Television, and they have two sections to the "Best Of" awards, Comedy or Musical and Drama.

The Academy Awards, on the other hand, are presented by the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences, made up of members of the various motion picture guilds, e.g., Screen Actors Guild, Writers Guild, Producers Guild and so on. The categories have only to do with Movies, including awarding talents such as makeup, design, sound, etc. Members of the Academy are voting for their peers, and they have a mired of rules, checks and audits, to make sure all procedures are fair and equitable. They only honor motion pictures, and within one "Best of" award which includes comedy, music and drama.

The Academy was founded May 11, 1927, to promote the motion picture industry. However, The Academy depends upon HEPA to promote U.S. movies and the Oscar Ceremony world-wide. HEPA depends upon The Academy to provide their countries with the product about which they write and photograph - - movies.

85th OSCAR NOMINATIONS ANNOUNCED THURSDAY

Nominations for the 85th Academy Awards® will be announced by the show's host Seth MacFarlane, and actress Emma Stone, Thursday, January 10, 2013. MacFarlane and Stone will unveil the nominations at a 5:30 a.m. (PT) at the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, where hundreds of media representatives from around the world will be gathered.

85th Academy Awards Oscar host Seth MacFarlane

 This will be the first time since 1972 an Oscar show host has participated in the nominations announcement. Before MacFarlane, the late Charlton Heston was the only host to actively engage in making the nominations announcement.
Since the first nominations announcement in 1964, the Academy president has been joined by one or more co-announcers at the event. This year the Academy will break with tradition when MacFarlane, who was named Oscar show host in October, joins Stone on Oscar nominations morning. 
Emma Stone starred in the 2011 Best Picture nominee "The Help" and the summer release "The Amazing Spider-Man." Her other film credits include "Superbad," "Zombieland," "Easy A" and "Crazy, Stupid, Love." Stone will be seen in "Gangster Squad" later this month and in "The Croods," due out in March.

Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2012 will be presented on Oscar Sunday, February 24, 2013, at the Dolby Theatre™ at Hollywood and Highland Center®, and televised live on the ABC Television Network. The Oscar presentation also will be televised live in more than 225 countries worldwide.
