‘Barbie’, ‘Oppenheimer’

The new Golden Globes organisation has announced the 81st Golden Globe nominations with Greta Gerwig’s Barbie leading the way on nine nods.

The Warner Bros blockbuster is up for best picture (comedy), best director and best screenplay, while Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling also scooped nominations for best actress and best supporting actor, respectively.

Three of the songs from Barbie are in contention in the best original song category and the film also received a nomination in the newly created cinematic and box office achievement award.

Next in line is Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, which received eight nominations including best picture (drama), best director, best screenplay, and acting nods for Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. 

Killers Of The Flower Moon and Poor Things were also among the most nominated titles with seven nods each on a day when the new-look awards group announced a solid roster of nominees lacking the eccentricities and shocks of prior years.

Two women are nominated for best director (Gerwig and Celine Song for Past Lives) while four female-directed features are nominated across the best film categories – a huge improvement from last year when no women or women-directed films received a nomination in these groups.

There is a strong showing for non-English-language features too, with Past Lives (which is in Korean and English) securing five nominations and Anatomy Of A Fall receiving four. Both are nominated for best drama.

Netflix is the leading distributor on 13 nominations for Maestro, May December, Nyad, and Rustin and 15 for its several TV series. Warner Bros has 12 nominations, followed closely by Universal and A24 both on 11. 

In the TV categories, Succession is out ahead with nine nominations for its final season while The Bear and Only Murders In The Building both have five. 

The winners will be announced at a ceremony in Los Angeles on January 7, which will broadcast on CBS and also stream on Paramount+ for the first time.

Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans and Martin McDonagh’s The Banshees Of Inisherin were the big winners last year.
