At the 82nd Golden Globe Awards held in Los Angeles on the morning of the 6th, the Japanese drama 'Shogun' won the Best TV Series Drama Award.
Season 2 of Netflix's original series 'Squid Game' was also nominated and fought fiercely, but did not receive Golden Globe's choice.
In 2022, Season 1 of 'Squid Game' was also nominated for this category. At that time, Oh Young-soo won the Best Supporting Actor Award to soothe the disappointment.
On the other hand, the wall of 'Shogun' was too high this year. 'Shogun' is based on James Clavell's historical novel of the same name and depicts a political battle against the backdrop of the 17th century Japanese shogunate era. His work and popularity were recognized enough to win 18 awards at the Emmy Awards in September last year. 'Shogun' won not only the best picture, but also the Best Male and Female Actor Award (Hiroyuki Sanada, Anna Sawai) and the Best Supporting Actor Award (Tadanobu Asano).
It is known that "Shogun" was produced by Justin Marks, who created the original version of "Top Gun Maverick", and his wife and Japanese-American producer Rachel Kondo.
Director Hwang Dong-hyuk, who directed 'Squid Game', said, "Thank you so much for putting an unreleased work up for such a big award ceremony when it was revealed that he was nominated for the Golden Globe earlier. I did my best not to disappoint the fans who loved season 1, and I am happy that Golden Globe was the first to know the effort. If you watch season 2, you can see that the social critical messages that have continued since season 1 are still alive. I think it would be even more meaningful if you think and reflect on these points in connection with what's happening in reality right now."
In addition, Golden Globe CEO Helen Horne previewed "Squid Game 2" in an interview with MBC America. It's completely wonderful. I think this is a good example of what the content means and how it communicates with international audiences. "Our voters came from various backgrounds such as countries, cultures, and languages, but they all sympathized with 'Squid Game'. I think this has a really important meaning. I believe the Golden Globe will provide a big international opportunity," he said, also raising his chances of winning the award.
However, in a recent interview, Hwang said, `When I shared my work written in one breath, saying that I was low on the possibility of winning 'Squid Game 2', season 2 gave up my expectations for the prize. The Prime Minister did not expect it at all because it was not completed yet, and the message he wanted to do was not revealed. However, the fact that he was nominated for the Golden Globe without revealing the story was shocking and surprising. If you want to win an award, I want to do it in season 3" he said.
Meanwhile, the Golden Globe Awards is organized by Dick Clark Productions, which awards movies and American TV dramas from all over the world every year. Along with the Academy and Emmy Awards, it is considered one of the top three award ceremonies in the United States.
