Due to the writer and actor strikes, the 2023 Emmys were delayed by four months. In an odd turn of events, the 2024 Golden Globes will air eight days before the 2023 Emmys.
The Emmys hold more weight (hello, EGOT), but The Golden Globes honor more recent shows due to the year/season regulations by both awards’ bodies.
How do the shows stack up with nominees? Let’s see.
Best Series
In drama and comedy, The Emmys has eight nominees, versus six for The Golden Globes.
“The Crown,” “Succession,” and “The Last of Us” overlap, which makes sense based on air dates.
In comedy, they all overlap, though technically they differ by seasons.
For limited, I’m surprised to see the Globes didn’t nominate “Fleishman is in Trouble.” Otherwise, the two overlaps make sense based on the timeline of when the shows aired.
I have to say though, “The Diplomat” and “The Morning Show” being nominated for drama series Globes is so typical of the Globes.
Lead Actress
The Globes have six nominees instead of five, which expands the variety a bit.
For drama, I guess the Globes like “1923” and “The Crown” more than the Emmys.
The Globes nominated Selena Gomez, whom I think the Emmys snubbed, in comedy, and Rachel Weisz, who I’ve heard is great in “Dead Ringers,” for limited.
Lead Actor
For limited series, “Beef” is the only overlap, which makes sense because of the time of year it aired.
The cast of “Succession” dominates both awards shows in drama.
For comedy, it’s all the same, except because of the Globes nominating six, Steve Martin also got in for “Only Murders in the Building.”
Supporting performer
The Globes combines drama, comedy and limited for supporting roles, which limits the total number of nominees. The Emmys have them separated out.
With that, there is very little overlap. “Succession” dominates the supporting actor race.
If I had to guess, The Globes wanted some star power, so they nominated Meryl Streep for “Only Murders in the Building.” (The Emmys wouldn’t have nominated Streep because they are honoring season 2 not 3 of “Only Murders.”)
Frankly, I thought Streep was pretty bad and one of the worst parts of a substandard season 3.
It’s hard to say whether the winners will feel really repetitive since the shows are only eight days apart. They will air on different networks, and people are still a tad wary of The Golden Globes after the HFPA came under fire; the organization has since been dissolved.
