To look purely at the winners, last night’s Golden Globes proceeded exactly as expected. Adolescence swept the board, because of course it did, for all the reasons you already know off by heart by now. The Studio was similarly successful, on the basis that it is simultaneously funny, about the entertainment industry and one episode was literally about the Golden Globes. All deserving winners.
But when you dig into the nominations, things become less clearcut. The White Lotus went into the ceremony with six nods, and came away empty-handed. Five of those nominations were bundled into just two categories – best supporting male actor and best supporting female actor – which meant that the maximum awards it could have won was three. But, still, to come away with none isn’t great.
