The Golden Globes don't get a whole lot of respect, as far as awards go. Yes, they're better than the Grammys, but there is still a lot of goofy stuff that gets nominated in these awards. Still, they are less snooty than the Oscars and actually try to give some credit to comedies, so they are worth noticing.
I have reviewed 100 Golden Globe-nominated films, with 294 nominations and 72 wins between them.
Winners are listed in bold, in the year the award ceremony took place. That means that the winners for the Best Picture (Musical/Comedy) of 2010 will be listed in the 2011 awards, since they take place in January.
