The same movies Emilia Perez, The Brutalist, Conclave, Something again Anora lead in the nominations, and on the TV end things are looking pretty good as usual Bova, Shogunagain Loner Criminals in the Building which makes a big impact. That said, there are some nice surprises (and shocking snubs) too.
The 82nd Golden Globes will take place on Sunday, January 5. The show will air on CBS and air on Paramount+ starting at 8pm ET, with comedian Nikki Glaser hosting the show.
Surprise: Female directors break through
Neglecting women behind the camera has long been a problem for awards companies, but for the second year in a row (and third time overall) the Globes have nominated two women for Best Director. They are Coralie Fargeat, and her terrific performance of a womanizer Something (who also received nominations for actress Demi Moore and supporting actress Margaret Qualley), and Payal Kapadia, Everything We Think of as Light and nominated for Best Motion Picture: Non-English Language. The latter has an uncertain road ahead of him this awards season, given that Everything We Think it wasn’t submitted by any country to the Oscars, but it’s nice to see the Golden Globes recognize Kapadia’s moving work.
Snub: No Saoirse Ronan
It was thought that 2024 would finally be Saoirse Ronan’s year to break out – with sensational performances in two well-received films, it was a question of how many nominations she would get, not if she would get any at all. . Yet the Globes chose to pass him on, for his moving portrayal of a recovering alcoholic Outrun he is left out of contention for the lead actor and his supporting role in it The Blitz to be ignored. It will be interesting to see how he does as the season progresses.
Surprise: They are not bad it’s not the most chosen music
The Golden Globes, with its Music/Comedy categories and general appreciation for headlines, seemed like a good place to start. They are not bad‘s awards season, with many prognosticators looking to John M. Chu’s blockbuster as a big hit. However, the musical film ended up with only four nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actress for Cynthia Erivo, and Best Supporting Actress for Ariana Grande.
They are not bad I faced serious music competition thanks Emilia Perezwhich benefited 10 people in total. The Spanish-language film from French director Jacques Audiard earned the second most nominations, behind Robert Altman’s country music masterpiece. Nashville by another. Notably, the film doubled in many categories, with two nominations for Best Original Song and both Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldaña were nominated for Best Actress. Emilia Perez it might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but the HFPA clearly loved it.
Snub: A knee cap you get, well, on your knees
The Irish just can’t seem to catch a break this year! After winning seven awards at the British Independent Film Awards this weekend, A knee cap he was completely shut out of the Globes. The film, which tells the story of the Belfast-based, Irish hip-hop group Kneecap, was highly favored to enter the English Language category, and it seemed plausible that the madcap film could find a slot in the Musical/Comedy category. categories as well. Unfortunately, A knee cap did not meet with HFPA members.
Surprise: Blockbusters don’t really make the cut
A year after “Barbenheimer” and the introduction of the Globes’ Cinematic and Box Office Achievement Award, it seemed as though the Golden Globes would once again be the premier venue for awarding major motion pictures. It just won’t end They are not bad be great, but Gladiator II, Deadpool and Wolverineagain Beetlejuice juice they all seem to have the potential to break into the big leagues. But sadly (or fortunately, if you’re among the proudest among us), it wasn’t to be.
Gladiator II it received only one nomination outside of the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement categories, a nod for Denzel Washington’s supporting performance. Currently, Dune: Part Two somehow missed the box office category despite being the fourth highest grossing film of the year, but was nominated for Best Score and Best Motion Picture Drama. Perhaps the real surprise of the event will be learning what Cinematic and Box Office Achievement really means!
Snub: Hard facts Hard Facts
Besides making an impact at the British Independent Film Awards, the New York Film Critics Circle, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, and the National Board of Review, Mike Leigh’s independent drama. Hard Facts failed to make a splash at the Golden Globes. Lead actress Marianne Jean-Baptiste has won awards for her performance as the depressed and at times darkly funny Pansy, marking her as one to watch this season, but the HFPA doesn’t seem to agree with those accolades.
Surprise: Ryan Murphy sees success
That’s right, it’s not indeed Surprisingly, the Golden Globes highlight Ryan Murphy’s biggest performance of the year with three important nominations Monsters: The Story of Lyle and Erik Menendez. You’d be hard-pressed to find art that the HFPA responds to better than Murphy, regardless of the quality of some of his designs (including this one). Good for undeniable breakout star Cooper Koch, however, who faces stiff competition for Best Actor in the limited series category.
Snub: No love for Clarence Maclin
Some exclusions are unfortunately yours Agree AgreeClarence Maclin, whose soulful performance is among the best of the year. The indie film about the prestigious prison system, Rehabilitation Through the Arts has only one nomination, for its star Colman Domingo, but Maclin was picked up as a welcome nominee at the Independent Spirit Awards, and won at the Gotham Awards earlier this year. moon. Like Saoirse Ronan and Marianne Jean-Baptiste, this loss may indicate difficult rewards ahead.
Surprise: Squid game you are back!
We’re used to movies garnering nominations before they’re widely available for viewing, but television rarely takes the same route. Leave it like that Squid game to break the mold again, as it earned a nomination for best television series: Drama more than two weeks before it was released on Netflix. That’s the only nod that the very popular Korean series has received, without the nomination of the actors involved to tell interested people who are the main players in Season 2.
