Golden Globes TV Awards: A Familiar Reflection of the Emmys
At the Golden Globes ceremony held tonight, only two of the eleven television categories awarded winners who had not previously secured an Emmy this past September.
The television awards at the Golden Globes largely mirrored those from the Emmy Awards, with The Pitt, The Studio, and Adolescence once again taking center stage. This trend reflects a consistent narrative across the ongoing awards season, reminiscent of last year’s results.
This evening, The Pitt clinched the title of Best Television Series – Drama, while The Studio was honored as Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy. Adolescence won Best Limited Series, Anthology Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television—each series having previously earned the same accolades at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards.
The Pitt’s Noah Wyle was named Best Actor in a Television Series – Drama. The Studio’s Seth Rogen received the award for Best Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy, while Hacks’ Jean Smart secured Best Actress in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy. Additionally, Adolescence’s Stephen Graham won Best Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television, mirroring their wins from last year’s Emmy awards.
Adolescence’s Owen Cooper and Erin Doherty also repeated their Emmy success at the Golden Globes. Notably, the Globes recognize fewer supporting categories; tonight, Cooper triumphed over Severance’s Tramell Tillman, who won the Emmy for Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series. Meanwhile, Doherty won Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, whereas The Pitt’s Katherine LaNasa, who was not nominated tonight, secured the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.
There were a few notable variations among the winners tonight.
Severance’s Britt Lower, who won Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series at the Emmys, was surpassed in the Golden Globes by Pluribus’ Rhea Seehorn, who received her first Golden Globe for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series.
Dying for Sex’s Michelle Williams, who was absent from the ceremony, was awarded Best Actress in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television—a category she lost to The Penguin’s Cristin Milioti at the Emmys.
In the previous year, Shōgun, Baby Reindeer, and Hacks claimed victories at both award shows, with Colin Farrell being the sole outlier for his win in the Limited Series category at the Golden Globes.
During her acceptance speech, Smart candidly remarked, “What can I say, I’m a greedy b*tch.”
