It’s two months until the Oscars – just a matter of time until we will find out if Timothée Chalamet’s hectic *Marty Supreme campaign paid off. If Jessie Buckley’s award for Hamnet *is to be or not to be. Or if we can finally call One Battle After Another writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson an Oscar winner.

Each year, the Golden Globes are a brilliant Oscars litmus test, providing the best indicator for what will scoop Academy Awards a few months later.

This year’s annual ceremony, which took place on Sunday (11 January), awarded the best in film and TV, giving its top prizes to One Battle After Another, Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet and Netflix series Adolescence.

This typically means that one of the two victors in each category is the most likely contender to go on to win at this year’s Oscars, and can often drastically shake up the odds.
