After coming into the Globes tipped as a major Oscar contender,Anorawent home empty-handed.
Its first loss, in Supporting Actor, was expected.
But the two that followed stung.
In Screenplay,Anorahad been a popular pundits pick, but Baker lost out toConclaves Peter Straughan.
By the time Best Director and Best Picture Musical or Comedy rolled around,Anoramissing felt like a given.
Im not going to give a shot to tell you any of this wasgoodfor Baker & Co.
But I will lightly suggest that any fans writing the films Oscar obituary might want to hold off.
If youre still in line to root forAnora, stay in line!
They have essentially zero overlap with the people who will decide the rest of awards season.
Which is not to say that the Globes dont matter.
(Just look at Moores post-victory glow.)
Heck, Yura Borisov and Mark Eydelshteyn both made the BAFTA longlist for Supporting Actor.
There is still a lot of love out there for this film.
At the risk of sounding Pollyannaish, there is even reason for optimism after the Globes.
The results solidifiedThe BrutalistandEmilia Perezas our two biggest Best Picture threats.
They are both impressive films that are going to win a lot of trophies before the season is done.
But the Globes are the last timeAnoraandConclavewill be competing for the same Screenplay trophy.
Everywhere else, theyll be slotted separately in Original and Adapted.
Again, I wont deny that blanking at the Globes hurtsAnoras chances, especially for Madison in Best Actress.
Being an underdog suits it more than being a front-runner ever did.
