“Barbenheimer” leads 81st Golden Globe film noms

It is the year of “Barbenheimer.” The nominations for the 81st Golden Globe Awards have been announced, with Warner Bros.’ Barbie and Universal’s Oppenheimer leading the film categories with nine and eight nominations, respectively.

On the TV side, HBO’s Succession secured the most Golden Globe nods with nine, while FX’s The Bear and Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building received five each.

The Golden Globe Awards have faced controversies in recent years, including criticism of the lack of diversity among the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) members. This year’s nominations reflect efforts to address diversity and inclusion concerns.

Killers of the Flower Moon (Apple) and Poor Things (Searchlight) received seven nominations each, while Past Lives (A24) earned five nominations.

Usually overlooked, a historic moment unfolded with dual nominations for women in the Best Director category: Greta Gerwig for Barbie and Celine Song for Past Lives.

Notable individuals receiving nominations include actors Timothée Chalamet, Bradley Cooper, Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert Downey Jr., Jodie Foster, Ryan Gosling, Helen Mirren, Margot Robbie, Mark Ruffalo, Emma Stone, and Taylor Swift. Filmmaker Christopher Nolan and musician Bruce Springsteen are also among the nominees.

The nominations reflect more diversity and inclusion compared to previous years, addressing past criticisms.

Two new categories have been introduced: Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television and Cinematic and Box Office Achievement (CBOA) in Motion Pictures.

The CBOA category recognizes movies earning $150 million or more at the box office or equivalent streaming numbers.

Film distributors earning the most nominations include Netflix (13), Warner Bros. (12), A24, and Universal (11 each). In TV, HBO/Max leads with 17 nominations, closely followed by Netflix with 15.

This year’s Golden Globe Awards mark a significant moment with new leadership and an expanded voting body of 300 individuals in 75 countries. The ceremony will be produced by Anchor Street Collective and presented by Dick Clark Productions and Eldridge.
