As another year ends, the industry looks forward to celebrating the time with the best movies and series to be released for the public. The Golden Globes, honoring exceptional talent in both movies and television, will be the first ones to kickstart the award ceremony season that actors and other crew wait for patiently.
The nomination list and top contenders for the awards are already creating massive buzz. People are wondering who will be taking home which award from the night and have their name etched in the records of the honor. In the meantime, here’s a look at three actors who have wowed the masses with their talent and earned the Golden Globe the most number of times.
Barbra Streisand
The legendary Hollywood icon Barbra Streisand has the record for most Golden Globe wins to her name. With 10 trophies sitting gleefully on display at her home, the actress and singer has created history with her wins and conquered the industry with her talent. No wonder everyone looks up to her for inspiration and motivation!
She has been the proud recipient of all major awards including an Emmy, Oscar, Tony, and Golden Globes. Streisand is the winner of 10 Golden Globe Awards in both competitive and honorary categories. She won the award thrice as an actress, composer, director, and producer, as well as another three times for the non-competitive Henrietta Award.
The width and depth of Streisand’s career and talent remain unmatched as she continues to be a stalwart of the industry with special cameos in projects even at 82 years old. The New York-born superstar’s vibrant career trajectory might seem intimidating, but her long list of achievements makes it seem worthwhile since Streisand was aptly appreciated for her work in her time.
Meryl Streep
Another wonderful actress who seems to blend in any role with her chameleon-like capabilities, Meryl Streep, has won 8 times competitively at the Golden Globes. In addition to that, she has also been honored with the Cecil B DeMille Award which signifies her contribution to world cinema. Interestingly, all 8 of her trophies have been for her incredible acting skills in movies and television.
Streep continues to enchant the masses with her performances, most recently seen in Only Murders in the Building. The actress holds the record for the most Golden Globe nominations with 34 nods for her work. Whether it’s the highest-grossing movies or the most sold-out plays on stage, Streep has seen and worked in all, giving her best to every role she takes on.
A true epitome in the industry, Streep remains the go-to actor for most roles even today. She manages to do all this along with her philanthropic work which takes her around the world. For unknown reasons, Streep did not receive a nomination for her role in the HBO series this time around.
Tom Hanks
Much like Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks also 8 competitive wins along with 1 honorary award for his contribution to the larger world of cinema. Best known for his comedic and drama roles in films like Big, The Terminal, and Forrest Gump, among others, Hanks is a quintessential Hollywood hero who can ace any role in any genre.
He has proved his mettle numerous times and continues to contribute to the industry with poignant portrayals and projects. However, Hanks’ Golden Globes wins are for both acting and producing, unlike Streep. Hanks will be seen charming the masses with his next project titled Here, directed by Robert Zemeckis. The movie will be about a family’s journey through the years and how they endured the travails of time.
Hanks has also worked as a writer in the industry, penning some beautiful scripts to be made into on-screen projects. The actor also has two Academy Award wins to his name.
