Golden Globes studio leaderboard branded as ‘tacky’ by fans on social media
People are using social media platforms to call out the Golden Globes for the visible leaderboard showcasing studios during the award ceremony.
Although not captured on video, New York Times journalist Kyle Buchanan posted a picture on Twitter depicting the ‘Leaders of the Globes’ board, indicating the studios and streaming platforms with the highest number of Golden Globe awards for that particular evening.
In the final hour of the over three-hour-long event, a picture emerged showing Netflix had taken the lead with six awards, closely trailed by Max with four, while FX/Hulu, A24, and Searchlight each claimed three, two, and one award respectively.
In the end, Netflix emerged as the award-winning studio or streamer with the most accolades (seven), surpassed by FX/Hulu with five, followed closely by Max and A24 with four, and Searchlight among others such as Universal, Sony, Mubi, Focus Features, Amazon, and Janus Films with a single win each.
Despite the absence of live broadcasting, Buchanan’s tweet sparked considerable debate online, as it read: ‘On the side of the wall at the Golden Globes, there’s a studio leaderboard to prevent things from getting too refined.’
Erik Anderson (@awards_watch) expressed a surprised reaction, saying something like, “Oh dear me,” while @benryanwriter asked curiously, “Why doesn’t a league table for agency success exist, with CAA dominating the victories?
Entertainment blog Showbiz 411 expressed it as ‘extremely garish’, while @darkvisuals commented, ‘Elegance seems to have departed, I observe.’
There were some individuals who didn’t object to it, like @Kanchankt14, who expressed, “A touch of modest boasting doesn’t do any harm. The Golden Globes maintaining a competitive edge, even amidst the glitter and glamour.
Jesabel (@JesabelRaay) added, though, ‘ewww wtf this is so tacky.’
@DLNewRoc firmly asserted, ‘This has tipped me over the brink. I no longer view the GG as a refined or respectable undertaking.’
@rendy_jones exclaimed, ‘That’s really unpleasant!’, and Jason Oh (@JasOh103) responded, ‘I can’t believe they’re making it look like the grand hall of Hogwarts.’
Caroline Williams (WilliCaroline) laughed heartily, while Drew Zuko mentioned, “I’m aiming to intensify the competition among studios and distributors even further.
In simpler terms, KnowingJLisa compared the situation to the medal count in the Olympics, suggesting a kind of competition between these studios. Brian Cohn agreed and emphasized that by making this contest truly competitive, we can motivate these studios to produce even better content.
In a playful manner, ladidai (@ladidaix) commented, ‘Agencies are laughing out loud next!’, while Dustin Britt(@dkbritt85) expressed that everything appears overly garish or cheap.
At the Golden Globes ceremony held on Sunday evening in 2025, Zoe Saldana guided Emilia Perez to claim top accolades, while Demi Moore secured her first win at the age of 62. Additionally, ‘Shōgun’ and ‘The Brutalist’ were notable winners that night.
