The 83rd edition of the Golden Globes held in Beverly Hills has been the stage for great surprises and standout moments, in an event that serves as a thermometer prior to the Oscar nominations. This time, the film ‘Hamnet’, directed by Chloé Zhao, took home the award for Best Dramatic Film, surpassing productions like ‘The Sinners’ and ‘Secret Agent’. Despite having six nominations, Zhao and her film were unexpectedly considered under the radar for much of the ceremony.

Going for the Oscar

Jessie Buckley’s performance shone brightly, winning the award for Best Dramatic Actress, marking a milestone in her career and highlighting her performance in a year full of contenders. However, the victory of ‘Hamnet’ has left many film analysts reconsidering their predictions for the Oscars, especially since the film had been practically forgotten for most of the ceremony, being one of the big surprises of the night.

Despite the fact that the Golden Globes have historically been a good indicator of what could happen in the Academy Awards season, this edition has not been without surprises.

‘Hamnet’ will premiere in Spain on January 23, allowing the audience to finally judge whether it meets the high expectations generated during the gala. The future of the film and its success in the Oscar race remains uncertain, but this is undoubtedly a boost for the film. Who knows what might happen at the Oscars.

The film Hamnet, directed by Chloé Zhao, has managed to be the talk of the town after winning the prestigious audience award at the Toronto International Film Festival. This recognition not only underscores the quality of the work but also enhances its prospects for success in the upcoming Academy Awards.

Let the race for the Oscar begin

Since the Academy expanded the Best Picture category in 2009, the audience award winners at TIFF have proven to be a reliable predictor of the Oscar winners. Films like Green Book in 2018 and Nomadland in 2020, both awarded the TIFF honor, culminated in similar victories at the Academy, which puts Hamnet in a promising position in the Oscar race.

The development of Hamnet has been closely followed since its announcement, especially because Zhao, an Oscar winner for Nomadland, brings with her a unique vision and a captivating narrative. The film is inspired by William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet, focusing on his family life and the challenges he faced, which offers a fresh perspective on one of the most iconic creators in history. The combination of Zhao’s direction and Shakespeare’s rich story has generated high expectations among critics and audiences.

As the awards season approaches, there is talk that recognition at TIFF could be an indicator that Hamnet will have a prominent place in the Oscar race, further boosting Zhao and the cast’s campaign. Past trends suggest that the TIFF audience award is a strong indicator of success at the Academy Awards, so all eyes are expected to be on Hamnet in the coming months.
