Hwang Dong-hyuk “Give up expectations when Seasons 2 and 3 are released”
Shogun, Best Picture, Best Actor and Supporting Actor
Demi Moore, Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy
Season 2 of ‘Squid Game’, which was a finalist for Best Picture in the TV Drama category at this year’s Golden Globes, unfortunately did not reach the award. The Best Picture award went to “Shogun,” a 17th-century Japanese drama that swept 18 categories at last year’s Emmy Awards.
At the 82nd Golden Globe Awards held in Los Angeles on the 5th (local time), ‘Squid Game’ Season 2 failed to win Best Picture. Season 1 was nominated in three categories, including Best Picture in a TV Drama, Best Actor (Lee Jung-jae), and Best Supporting Actor (Oh Young-soo) at the 79th Golden Globe Awards in 2022, and won the Best Supporting Actor Award. This year, it was only nominated for Best Picture.
Locally, it was assessed that Season 2 ended with an unfinished story, and that the fact that the response from critics was not as enthusiastic as Season 1 had an impact. Director Hwang Dong-hyuk, who directed seasons 1 and 2 of ‘Squid Game’, said in an interview with Dong-A Ilbo on the 3rd before the awards ceremony, “I gave up my expectations of winning when I divided what I wrote in one breath into seasons 2 and 3.” “Because it is not revealed,” he said.
The work that attracted the most attention at this year’s Golden Globe Awards was ‘Shogun’, produced by Disney’s cable channel FX. The work became the center of attention, winning not only Best Picture but also Best Actor (Hiroyuki Sanada), Best Actress (Anna Sawai), and Best Supporting Actor (Tadanobu Asano).
Last September, Shogun won 18 awards, the most ever for a single work, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Actress at the Emmy Awards, the most prestigious award in the U.S. broadcasting industry. It is being praised as a Japanese version of ‘Game of Thrones’ as it deals deeply with Japanese history and culture while also adding Western perspectives, directing, and visual beauty.
The person who attracted the most attention at this awards ceremony was American actress Demi Moore (63). She won the Best Actress Award in the Musical or Comedy Film category for ‘Substance’, which depicts the story of a woman trying to regain her youth. At the age of over 60, he received his first Golden Globe acting award for his naked body and fight scenes.
Moore went on stage and barely managed to open his mouth, then said with tears in his eyes, “30 years ago, a producer called me a ‘popcorn actor’ and I thought that an award like this was not suitable for me.”
The film ‘Emilia Perez’, which tells the story of the head of a Mexican drug cartel who begins the second act of his life to avoid being pursued by investigative authorities, also won four awards, including Best Picture in the Musical/Comedy Film category, Best Supporting Actress (Zoey Saldana), Best Foreign Language Film, and Best Original Song. It went up. The film ‘Brutalist’, which depicts the American dream of a Jewish architect who survived the Holocaust, won Best Director in the Motion Picture category (Brady Covey), Best Picture in a Motion Picture Drama category, and Best Actor in a Drama category (Adrien Brody).
