Golden Globe nominations: The ‘Barbenheimer’ effect is not over

The Golden Globe Awards, one of the highest-profile awards season broadcasts after the Oscars, has announced its nominations.

The revamped organisation, now a for-profit endeavor with a larger and more diverse voting body, has listed the nominees for its January awards show, after several troubled years.

Cedric the Entertainer and Wilmer Valderrama presided over the announcements from the Beverly Hilton Hotel, where the show will also take place on 7 January.

Greta Gerwig’s Barbie dominates the Golden Globe Awards nominations with nine nods, including Best Picture Musical or Comedy, as well as acting nominations for Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling and three of its original songs.

It was closely followed by its meme companion, Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, which scored eight nominations, including Best Picture Drama and for performers Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr. and Emily Blunt.

Competiting with Oppenheimer in the Best Picture Drama cartegory are current awards darling Anatomy of a Fall; Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon; Bradley Cooper’s stunning Bernstein biopic Maestro; one of our favourite films of the year – Celine Song’s Past Lives; and Jonathan Glazer’s harrowing Holocaust drama The Zone of Interest.

For Best Picture Musical or Comedy, Barbie faces off against Air; American Fiction; The Holdovers; the knotty and memorable May December; and the deliriously brilliant Poor Things.

Of note is the strong European contingent, with France’s Anatomy of a Fallcontinuing its steady awards rise, with four nominations (Best Motion Picture Drama, Best Screenplay, Best Picture Non-English Language, and Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture Drama), and the UK’s The Zone of Interest racking up three nominations (Best Motion Picture Drama, Best Picture Non-English Language, and Best Original Score Motion Picture).

The 81st Golden Globe Awards will be the first major broadcast of awards season, with a new home on CBS.

It has been a tumultuous few years behind the scenes for the Golden Globes, following a bombshell report in the Los Angeles Times in 2021, which found that there were no Black members in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which votes on the awards.

Stars and studios boycotted the Globes and NBC refused to air it in 2022 as a result.

After the group added journalists of colour to its ranks and instituted other reforms to address ethical concerns, the show came back in January 2023 in a one-year probationary agreement with NBC. The broadcast got its smallest audience ever, with 6.3 million viewers. The network did not opt to renew.

In June, billionaire Todd Boehly was granted approval to dissolve the HFPA and reinvent the Golden Globes as a for-profit organization.

In mid-November, CBS announced that it would air the ceremony on the network and also stream it on Paramount+.
