Golden Globes Around The World

  On our 80-day countdown to the 80th anniversary of the Golden Globes, this week we celebrate the 5th Golden Globes, which took place in 1948 at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel and featured a special award to Walt Disney for “Furthering the Influence of the Screen” with his classic early animated movie, Bambi. Animation has grown in directions Walt could never have imagined in the past 74 years and this week, on our Golden Globes Around the World Podcast, HFPA member Rocio Ayuso sat down with Japanese animation director Daisuke ‘Dice’ Tsutsumi to talk about his new four-episode Netflix limited series, Oni: Thunder God’s Tale, which takes a playful look at the oddball gods and monsters of Japanese mythology.

  When it comes to legendary movie stars, few can compare to Jacqueline Bisset, whose six-decade career includes films in both French and English, working with actors from Jean-Paul Belmondo, Steve McQueen, Paul Newman and Frank Sinatra to directors including François Truffaut, George Cukor, and John Huston. The 78-year-old actress works constantly, with three films in 2021, and she recently sat down with HFPA member Elisabeth Sereda for our Golden Globes Around the World podcast series to talk about her new film, Loren and Rose.

In honor of World Podcast Day, September 30, we’re sharing with you our top 10-rated podcasts of all time in our previously named "HFPA in Conversation” series, now rebranded "Golden Globes Around the World. ” Of the 114 episodes we’ve had the privilege of producing with actors, directors, cinematographers, composers, foreign filmmakers, writers, and others in the film and TV industry, it’s interesting to note that five men and five women equally made the list, and only one was not an actor but the groundbreaking female director, Greta Gerwig.

  As the world is slowly returning to a pre-Covid normal, one place where this was never more obvious was the annual Toronto Film Festival, which had been mostly online since 2020. The popular Canadian festival returned with a hugely ambitious and diverse program offering many films we will hear more about going into the height of awards season - like People’s Choice winner, The Fabelmans – as well as panels with everyone from Taylor Swift to Hilary Clinton.

  On our special Rewind  Episode of the Golden Globes Around the World podcast series, we thought it would be a good time to revisit our December 2020 podcast with Chris Evans, who at that time was promoting his limited series Defending Jacob, co-starring Michelle Dockery. 2022 has been another busy year for the star.

  The documentary Kili Big is the story of 20 plus-sized women from around the world all attempting to climb to the top of Africa’s highest mountain, Mt. Kilimanjaro.

  Although Casper Van Dien has appeared in over 150 TV and film credits during his 30-year-plus career, he will probably always be best remembered for two early iconic roles: as General Johnny Rico in Starship Troopers (1997) and as the King of the Jungle himself in Tarzan and the Lost City (1998). In our newest “Golden Globes Around the World” podcast episode, Van Dien reminisces with HFPA member Rocio Ayuso about how both roles compare with his newest alter ego, Samuel Hyst, in the series, Salvage Marines, now on www.

    It’s almost a guarantee that if you ask someone about Don McLean’s 1971 iconic hit song, “American Pie,” they can recite the lyrics to you. Even more likely they’ll remember the classic vinyl album, reprinted for decades, that features the singer with his thumb up and painted as an American flag.

    In 2019, Marvel President Kevin Feige sat down with HFPA journalist Anke Hofmann to talk about one of the biggest years in the company’s history following the success of Black Panther, Spider-Man: Far From Home, and Avengers: End Game.
