Although winning a Golden Globe does not guarantee success at the Oscars, it can significantly increase the chances of a nomination.
The Golden Globe Awards are among the first in the awards season and can influence the interest of Academy members in films, which in turn can lead to Oscar nominations.
Some actors, such as Sebastian Stan and Demi Moore, have received Oscar nominations after winning Golden Globes. Films like "Stream" and "I Still Here" were also initially recognized with Golden Globes before winning Oscars in their respective categories.
