Did Sam win because he won the Golden Globe?

It can indeed be a major factor. For a song to win an Oscar that didn't even get nominated for a GG...it really doesn't happen. And it's only now I've realised that. It is odd that the GG's didn't even recognise a song that got so much Oscar support. The Oscars tend to follow the GG's in a lot of things, just like the Grammys follow the Oscars (this is likely a big reason why Glory won the Grammy this year - the voters didn't want to look bad after it won an Oscar). The industries copy each other in lots of ways. It's so infuriating. Because as we've seen, there can be very different views on song quality across industries so why should they feel the need to copy one another? Seeing as how the GG's and Oscars are film industries, not music industries, there is no need to copy each others tastes when it comes to music. If that really is the thing that gave Sam that win...furious doesn't even begin to cover it. I mean, people didn't really get upset over Sam winning at the GG's because his competition was different there and it wasn't as strong. But the Oscars was a different matter and it's of a higher quality. Then the public really decided it was time to say "At most this second-rate Bond theme deserved a GG, but not an Oscar - it's ain't no Skyfall."
