Preview:
- ‘Barbie’ leads the Golden Globes movie nominations.
- The likes of Paul Giamatti have reacted to their nods.
- The Golden Globes air January 7th on CBS.
While recent changes and corporate ownership of the organization have seen the Hollywood Foreign Press seemingly lean into the ‘shadowy’ part of ‘shadowy cabal’ (with even less transparency about how the Golden Globes are voted upon and questions about conflict of interest), their awards remain part of the season.
After years of appearing on NBC in a rich deal, the Globes are on the move to CBS this year for considerably less cash.
This season’s Globes nominations are somewhat understandably dominated by the big dogs of this year’s cinema, ‘Barbie’ and ‘Oppenheimer’, with the former tying the record for the second-highest number of nominations (for the record, it’s in line with 1972’s ‘Cabaret’).
Other expected titles? Martin Scorsese’s prestige-y ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ and Alexander Payne’s ‘The Holdovers’, which seems destined to become a festive favorite.
And in a stab at appealing to an even wider audience, the Globes also introduced a category celebrating big box office winners, meaning that Taylor Swift’s successful ‘Eras Tour’ movie also made the cut this year.
There were also the usual movies left off the list –– Michael Mann’s ‘Ferrari’, despite positive reviews, couldn’t find space in the Globes’ garage, while ‘The Color Purple’ didn’t make the musical/comedy cut (though some of its cast got nominations).
Globes: The Nominees React
‘The Holdovers’ Paul Giamatti was among those who reacted to the news:
”This is a really wonderful honor to be recognized for this performance by the Golden Globes. I’m so proud of this film and humbled by the reaction. It’s been a joy to bring Paul Hunham to life and to see audiences love him as much as I do. And it’s a really wonderful honor for this film and cast and crew and director that I love so much. Thank you!”
