While the Oscars dominate the global cinema stage, the Golden Globe Awards provide a more diverse alternative. Here's everything you need to know about the Golden Globe Awards #OutlookBusiness #GoldenGlobeAwards2024

Do you love films? What about the Oscars? Maybe you watched it or perhaps just caught up with the headlines… Here’s some news that may have escaped your notice: 🎥 The feature films in contention for the Best Film award don’t have to be inclusive to make it into the category; and… 📺 The show itself, whilst using subtitles during broadcasting, left many viewers struggling to keep up with the pre-recorded ‘In Memoriam’ section. The first point shows that there is still a long way to go, even for big players like the Academy Awards, to demand inclusion as an essential criteria for the top prize. Audio description helps film fans who are blind to understand elements that people with sight can glimpse in an instant. It is integral to movie watching enjoyment. When noting the second point, I’m mindful that progress over perfection could well be in play here. At times, the captions covered the names and roles of those who were being commemorated. Given this section is produced prior to the ceremony, a bit of quality testing for user experience would have made all the difference to people who rely on the captions. From this we learn that audio description tracks are still not given the priority people deserve and that caption placing is important. Will you be watching any Oscar nominated movies this year? Let me know! #InclusionMatters #AudioDescription #Captions #Oscars2024 #PurpleRiverMedia

Film festivals are often judged on their relevance to the community. 🌍 We recently saw this in the Netherlands, where future municipal and government funding for festivals is firmly based on their relevance to their communities. This isn't just the case in the Netherlands, all around the world film festivals are on a quest for relevance. In that quest they might seek to add more events or have a year-round presence through partnerships with cinemas or educators. 🌟 Great strategies, but they do come with some extra hurdles as the film festival management suddenly becomes a whole lot more complex.
