Orphaned references in Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "nonoms53": From Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Drama: This year, the award of "Best Picture" went to The Robe. IMdb considers the "Best Picture" and "Best Picture Drama" the same award in its listings. From Golden Globe Award for Best Director: Nominations for 1953 are not available. 

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 20:48, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Genre question
So, in 2014 Leonardo di Caprio won Best Actor in "Musical/Comedy". That made me wonder, how are the movies chosen for this category. "Wolf of Wallstreet" isn't surely a musical, but it isn't also in any way a comedy - it is a clear drama.

Does anybody know how movies are categorized for the Golden Globes? --Jensbest (talk) 06:26, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

→ It seems that any Drama movie that cracks a few jokes is considered a Comedy. Samlehman (talk) 16:22, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
