At the 82nd Golden Globe Awards held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles on the 5th local time, 'Squid Game 2' was nominated for best picture for a TV series drama, but the honor of the award went to Disney Plus 'Shogun'. 'Shogun' drew attention by winning four awards, including best picture, best actor, best actress, and best supporting actor.
'Squid Game 2' received great attention as an unusual case of being selected as a Golden Globe candidate even before the release of the work. Helen Horne, CEO of Golden Globe, said "Voters come from multiple national and cultural backgrounds, but they all sympathized with 'Squid Game'", emphasizing the global meaning of the work. Mikosad \'Squid Game' is a genius work that transforms childhood play into a cruel game. This is the driving force behind its global popularity."
Major cast members, including director Hwang Dong-hyuk and actor Lee Jung-jae, attended the awards ceremony, raising expectations, but the results were regrettable. In a recent interview, director Hwang Dong-hyuk said, `Dividing a piece written in one breath into two seasons, I gave up my expectations for the prize,' adding, `I thought it was unlikely to win the prize because it was not a complete story" he said.
He continued "Just being nominated without disclosing the work is surprising. I think we can aim for something more in season 3."
On the day of the ceremony, Hwang told Entertainment Tonight that `I did my best not to disappoint you with a lot of expectations and attention"He said "I'm still surprised by how much you love Korean work."
In 2022, Season 1 of the 「Squid Game」 was nominated for the Golden Globe TV Series Best Picture, Best Actor (Lee Jung-jae), and Best Supporting Actor (Oh Young-soo), and Oh Young-soo won the Best Supporting Actor award, becoming the first Korean actor to be honored. Season 2 tried to continue its achievement, but the award was thwarted by the strong lineup of competitors, raising expectations for next season.
Season 3 of 'Squid Game' is being produced with the goal of releasing it in the second half of this year. Fans are paying attention to new challenges and possibilities in next season, which will be followed by interesting stories.
