Awards Daily Tv's Water Cooler Podcast

This week, we look at the 2025 critics awards, Golden Globes and their impact on the 2026 Oscar race. Plus, what happened to the old Globes? A lot happened in the weeks since we last recorded. Last week, the New York, Los Angeles, and National Board of Review all weighed in on 2025 film. We also had the AFI and the Critics Choice unveil their nominations for the best of the year. This week, the maligned Golden Globes revealed their nominations. Funny thing: they’re all kind of the same. On this week’s podcast, we talk about whether or not the critics still matter and who most benefitted from the initial awards. Then, we break down the Golden Globe nominations and reveal who we think the frontrunners are to win. We close our podcast with a Flash Forward to the media we’re most anticipating in the upcoming week. We’re deeply appreciative for your shares, likes, and positive ratings on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Click here to listen! Our video podcast follows below!   Podcast Music: Royalty Free
