The 2014 edition of the Golden Globes has come and gone. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association weighed in on their picks for Best Picture (and a few other categories), so now it’s time that we weigh in on the choices. Here’s where the average ratings sit at this point, based on the ratings input from all the movie reviewers whose ratings and reviews are in our system:
Best Picture (Drama)
Their winner: 12 Years A Slave
Our reviewers’ average ratings:
- Philomena (71%)
- Rush (84.14%)
- Captain Phillips (88.35%)
- 12 Years a Slave (89.66%)
- Gravity (92.31%) [Our Winner from THEIR picks]
Their choice was rated fairly high by Half Popped reviewers, but 12 Years A Slave was still a couple percentage points less popular than Gravity.
Best Picture (Comedy/Musical)
Their winner: American Hustle
Our reviewers’ average ratings:
- Inside Llewyn Davis (80.75%)
- American Hustle (81.29%)
- Nebraska (85.13%)
- Wolf of Wall Street (86.86%)
- Her (92.96%) [Our Winner from THEIR picks]
While American Hustle still received a good rating, it was rated more than 10 percentage points less than Her.
