Aries
For the first television series on the list, “Shōgun" was the winner for Best Drama Television Series. Its overwhelming popularity has led to the beginning production of a second and third season.
“Shōgun” is the faithful recreation of the 1975 novel of the same name by James Clavell. It focuses on the conflict between three characters: John Blackthorne, an English sailor who shipwrecks in Japan; Lord Toranaga, a powerful feudal lord dealing with dangerous political rivals; and Lady Mariko, a hardworking woman who must work to prove her value and disconnect from her dishonorable family history.
Taurus
Winner of Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television was Ali Wong for her stand-up in the Netflix special “Ali Wong: Single Lady.”
The comedy special focuses on Wong’s return to the stage to talk about romance after her divorce. It is filled with various humorous dating experiences that she has gone through in recent years, and is definitely worth a watch!
Gemini
Musical duo Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross won Best Original Score for Motion Picture with their score for “Challengers.”
“Challengers” is a romantic sports drama that follows the long, complex love triangle between a previous tennis star, now coach, her ex-boyfriend and her current husband. With famous actors like Zendaya starring in the film, it is one not to miss!
Cancer
The winner of Best Animated Motion Picture was “Flow,” a charming independent film that focuses on one cat’s journey as a flood sweeps the land.
The film is notable for two things: firstly, it contains no dialogue, but instead uses imagery and other audio to entice viewers; it is also fully rendered in Blender, a free-to-use 3D modeling and animation program.
Leo
As the sign most often seen as the star of the show, they will be delighted to hear that their chosen winner is two-time winner “Emilia Pérez.” The film won Best Musical/Comedy Motion Picture, as well as Best Non-English Language Motion Picture.
The musical crime comedy is a French production that tells the story of a Mexican cartel leader who, with the help of a lawyer, transitions into a woman to successfully disappear socially. This incredibly unique plot encourages anyone to watch!
Virgo
For these true crime lovers, this sign should watch the winner for Best Television Limited Series, Anthology Series or Motion Picture Made for Television, “Baby Reindeer.” This comedy-drama takes a true, dark story and translates it to television.
“Baby Reindeer” is a true story about an aspiring comedian who experiences a series of assaults via a customer who develops an unhealthy attachment with him and begins to stalk him in-person and online, as well as a TV writer who drugs him on multiple occasions.
Libra
Peter Straughan won the award for Best Motion Picture Screenplay with his screenplay for “Conclave,” a political thriller that focuses its attention within the College of Cardinals, the body of all cardinals in the Catholic Church.
After the sudden death of the Pope, protagonist Cardinal Thomas Lawrence must investigate the secrets and hidden objectives of four potential candidates for the position of Pope. The thriller focuses on the judgement of these individuals and the Cardinal’s ultimate decision.
Scorpio
Written by Camille and Zoe Saldaña, the winner for Best Original Motion Picture Song was “El Mal,” featured in “Emilia Pérez.”
The song itself is incredible, but the choreography and cinematography make the scene worth a watch. Those interested in seeing the award-winning song can watch the scene here.
Sagittarius
Winner of Best Drama Motion Picture was “The Brutalist,” a period drama that was collaborated on with the United States, United Kingdom and Hungary. Its popularity is so large that it even achieved a spot in the top ten films of 2024 by the American Film Institute.
The story follows Holocaust survivor and Hungary-born Jewish architect László Tóth as he immigrates to the United States following WWII. While Tóth struggles to find work and to achieve the American Dream, his life takes a turn when he meets rich client Harrison Lee Van Buren.
Capricorn
“Hacks,” the winner of Best Musical or Comedy Television Series, tells the tale of stand-up comedian Deborah Vance and down-on-her-luck comedy writer Ava Daniels. The comedy-drama follows their relationship as Daniels is hired to write for Vance.
While the series originally aired in 2021, it was season three which won the Golden Globe award. As the two characters force the other to slowly open up and work through each others’ flaws, it is definitely worth watching.
Aquarius
Brady Corbet, director of “The Brutalist,” won the award for Best Motion Picture Director for his film. On top of his excellent directing, he also co-wrote the film’s screenplay along with Mona Fastvoid.
Corbet began his acting career in the early 2000s with films such as “Thirteen” (2003) and “Mysterious Skin” (2004). His first directing debut was in 2015 with the film “The Childhood of a Leader.” He continues to direct and even write stunning films.
Pisces
Perhaps saving the best for last, Pisces is most similar to famous Cinematic and Box Office Achievement winner “Wicked.” The first part of the two-part series is a musical fantasy film that is both based in the world of “The Wizard of Oz” and the 2003 musical “Wicked.”
The premise takes place before the contents of “The Wizard of Oz” and follows the infamous Wicked Witch of the West and the more-liked Glinda the Good. In this adaptation, the two women– Elphaba Thropp and Galinda Upland– meet and bond at Shiz University.
