Golden Globes That Were Definitely Bought

Ricky Geravis famously said the Golden Globe is the one award that can be bought, allegedly, nothing’s been proven. Do you know any golden globe wins that were bought in advance perhaps by a film company?

I'm convinced Sarah Jessica Parker and Renee Zellweger's wins were bought. They kept winning over and over again.

All of Jennifer Lawrence's wins.

Carole Bayer Sager's memoir includes a funny account of a lavish lunch party she hosted for members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to ensure she received a nomination for her song "The Day I Fall in Love" (from "Beethoven's 2nd"). She got the nomination, but the competition was stiff that year so she didn't get the Globe...

When Madonna won for Best Song for that shitty film W.E. in 2012 I found it very suspicious considering nobody saw the film and the song sucked.

I think that was more that some of the newer members wanted to hob nob with Madonna. She already got her GG years before.

R13 The song was a front runner to win the Oscar but due to a technicality, it was ineligible for even a nom. Out of the songs it was up against, it definitely deserved to win.

Has Bey one a GG?

I think Helen Mirren buys her golden globe nominations. She got nominated for a film called The Leisure Seeker and nobody saw that.

Perhaps you should ask a certain actress who is known for being nominated for everything bowel movement, I mean movie she makes.....

Richard Madden for Bodyguard!

All of the nominated performances in The Tourist.

Any golden globe wins associated with Miramax/Harvey Weinstein. I'm looking at you Jennifer Lawrence.

The producers of Scent of a Woman held some sort of fancy junket for the Globe voters somewhere.

There was once a really good documentary about the Globes on TV. I've never been able to find it again.

I remember John Waters referencing it at the Indy Spirit Awards and calling it bitchy.

Masterpiece is actually one of Madge's better songs. I loved watching Lady Elton's face when she beat his ass.
