Why are the Oscars more prestigious than the Golden Globes?

Because the Globes are voted on by the film press and not actual film practitioners. As an analog, it would be like patients at a hospital voting for the Nobel Prize in Medicine. Still a nice award but much different in the electorate.

More specifically, the globes are voted on by the foreign film press and the process is notoriously corrupt.
