Of the 24 competitive Academy Awards, four go to actors; of the 25 competitive Golden Globes, actors get 14. The star wattage is blinding for folks who care less about Best Live Action Short Subject than how far Cameron Diaz's table is from Justin Timberlake's. (Ten feet, one TV Seymour Hersh reported.)
