Welcome to Golden Globes weekend, folks! Tomorrow night on NBC, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association — once described in The New York Times as a group of people “who would cross the Alps for a hot dog” — will hand out the Golden Globe Awards. The Globes have grown to occupy a weird space in awards season. In theory, the Globes should mean nothing since they’re decided upon by a random cabal of international journalists, none of whom have membership in the Academy. And yet, the Golden Globes have managed to take up a lot of the cultural conversation. You’ve probably seen half a dozen trailers for movies and TV shows that introduce someone as a “Golden Globe Winner” (or, at the very least, a nominee).
