Unlike the Academy, the HFPA hands out two Best Movie awards: Drama, and Comedy or Musical. Let’s look at the record. In the last 68 years, the winner of the Golden Globe for Best Film Drama went on to win the Oscar 35 times, and the winner for Best Comedy or Musical added an Oscar 13 times. In only 22 years a Golden Globe winner did not win a Best Picture Oscar, about a third of the time. The last time for a dual win was 2014, when 12 Years a Slave, Golden Globe winner for drama also won the Oscar. The Golden Globe winners in the last two years did not win an Oscar. And this year?The HFPA voters distributed the movie nominations generously: 34 movies received at least one nomination, 17 of them received more than one, with La La LandMoonlightManchester by the SeaThe Americans). There are three Irish actors, one of them, Ruth Negga is Ethiopian-Irish, and the rest are, but of course, English.Of all the nominated actors, 27 have won one or more Golden Globe in the past, 16 have been nominated before but lost, and 28 are first time nominees.

The youngest is Hailee Steinfeld, 20, the lead in, appropriately, The Edge of Seventeen. On the television side the oldest nominee is Nick Nolte, 76, who was nominated five times and won the Globe as Best Actor in Motion Pictures-Drama for Prince of Tides (1992).

And if you believe in numerology, try this: There are four nominated actors with a short, three letter first name: Tom (Hiddleston), Dev (Patel), Bob (Odenkirk) and Riz (Ahmed).
