Talk:Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "nonoms53":

  • From Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Drama: "HFPS Golden Globes Page". Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Retrieved 2007-06-26. This year, the award of "Best Picture" went to The Robe. IMdb considers the "Best Picture" and "Best Picture Drama" the same award in its listings.
  • From Golden Globe Award for Best Director: "HFPS Golden Globes 1953". Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Retrieved 2007-06-26. Nominations for 1953 are not available.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 20:48, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Genre question[edit]

So, in 2014 Leonardo di Caprio won Best Actor in "Musical/Comedy". That made me wonder, how are the movies chosen for this category. "Wolf of Wallstreet" isn't surely a musical, but it isn't also in any way a comedy - it is a clear drama.

Does anybody know how movies are categorized for the Golden Globes? --Jensbest (talk) 06:26, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

→ It seems that any Drama movie that cracks a few jokes is considered a Comedy. Samlehman (talk) 16:22, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
