Golden Globe nominations led by 㽶ƵֱBanshees,㽶Ƶֱ 㽶ƵֱEverything Everywhere㽶Ƶֱ

The Globes also spread nominations around to a number of Oscar favorites

After scandal and boycott plunged the Hollywood Foreign Press Association into disarray and for a year, the Golden Globes geared up Monday for its return by showering nominations on the black comedy 㽶ƵֱThe Banshees of Inisherin㽶Ƶֱ and the multiverse mash-up 㽶ƵֱEverything Everywhere all at Once.㽶Ƶֱ

In an attempt to restore early-morning fanfare to the awards-season tradition, nominations were read from the Beverly Hilton and aired live on NBC㽶Ƶֱs 㽶ƵֱToday㽶Ƶֱ show. Hollywood, which spurned the HFPA after 2021 reports detailed the body㽶Ƶֱs lack of diversity and rampant ethical indiscretions, once again woke up to news of nominees 㽶Ƶֱ though this time the response was much more muted.

Martin McDonagh㽶Ƶֱs feuding friends tale 㽶ƵֱThe Banshees of Inisherin㽶Ƶֱ led with eight nominations, including nods for actors Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, Kerry Condon and Barry Keoghan. Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert㽶Ƶֱs existential action comedy 㽶ƵֱEverything Everywhere all at Once㽶Ƶֱ came in second with six nominations, including nods for Michelle Yeoh, and Jamie Lee Curtis.

The Globes spread nominations around to a number of Oscar favorites (Steven Spielberg㽶Ƶֱs 㽶ƵֱThe Fabelmans,㽶Ƶֱ Todd Fields㽶Ƶֱ 㽶ƵֱTár㽶Ƶֱ) while also elevating big-budget spectacles like 㽶ƵֱTop Gun: Maverick㽶Ƶֱ and 㽶ƵֱAvatar: The Way of Water.㽶Ƶֱ Each, along with Baz Luhrmann㽶Ƶֱs 㽶ƵֱElvis,㽶Ƶֱ landed nominations for best film, drama.

The nominees for best film, comedy or musical, were: 㽶ƵֱThe Banshees of Inisherin,㽶Ƶֱ 㽶ƵֱEverything Everywhere All at Once,㽶Ƶֱ 㽶ƵֱGlass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery,㽶Ƶֱ 㽶ƵֱBabylon㽶Ƶֱ and 㽶ƵֱTriangle of Sadness.㽶Ƶֱ

The HFPA has historically been derided 㽶Ƶֱ sometimes even by their own hosts 㽶Ƶֱ for less diverse nominees and off-the-wall picks. The film nominees Monday included eight people of color among the 30 acting individual acting nominees. No woman was nominated for best director, with nods instead going to Spielberg, Cameron, McDonagh, Luhrmann and Kwan and Scheinert, the filmmaking duo known as 㽶Ƶֱthe Daniels.㽶Ƶֱ None of the films up for best picture in either category was directed by women.

Among the nominees for best actor in a drama is Brendan Fraser. the Globes after he said he was groped in 2003 by Philip Berk, a former HFPA member and former president of the organization.

On the TV side, the ABC public school comedy 㽶ƵֱAbbott Elementary㽶Ƶֱ led with five nominations, including best series, musical or comedy, and nods for its stars Quinta Brunson, Janelle James and Tyler James Williams. 㽶ƵֱThe Crown,㽶Ƶֱ 㽶ƵֱDahmer 㽶Ƶֱ Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,㽶Ƶֱ 㽶ƵֱOnly Murders in the Building,㽶Ƶֱ 㽶ƵֱPam & Tommy㽶Ƶֱ and 㽶ƵֱWhite Lotus㽶Ƶֱ all came away with four nominations.

The show, which will be telecast Jan. 10 and is trying to mount a comeback. A found that the HFPA then had no Black members, a revelation compounded by other allegations of ethical improprieties. Many stars and studios said they would boycott the show. Tom Cruise returned his three Globes.

Whether Cruise, overlooked in the lead actor category, chooses to attend this year will be much discussed ahead of the ceremony. His 㽶ƵֱTop Gun: Maverick,㽶Ƶֱ the year㽶Ƶֱs biggest box-office smash, is nominated for two awards: best film, drama, and best song. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer was among the first to cheer the film㽶Ƶֱs nominations with a statement of thanks on Monday.

㽶ƵֱTop Gun: Maverick㽶Ƶֱ wasn㽶Ƶֱt the only blockbuster welcomed by the Globes. James Cameron㽶Ƶֱs upcoming 㽶ƵֱAvatar: The Way of Water㽶Ƶֱ scored nods for both best film, drama, and best director for Cameron. 㽶ƵֱBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever㽶Ƶֱ snagged two nominations, for Angela Bassett㽶Ƶֱs supporting performance and Rihanna㽶Ƶֱs 㽶ƵֱLift Me Up.㽶Ƶֱ

Arguably no film got a bigger boost than Damien Chazelle㽶Ƶֱs silent-film-era epic 㽶ƵֱBabylon.㽶Ƶֱ The film doesn㽶Ƶֱt open in theaters until later this month, but came away with five nominations, including nods for Margot Robbie, Brad Pitt and Diego Calva.

Other nominees across categories included Austin Butler (㽶ƵֱElvis㽶Ƶֱ), Ana de Armas (㽶ƵֱBlonde㽶Ƶֱ), Jeremy Pope (㽶ƵֱThe Inspection㽶Ƶֱ), Ana Taylor-Joy (㽶ƵֱThe Menu㽶Ƶֱ), Emma Thompson (㽶ƵֱGood Luck to You, Leo Grande㽶Ƶֱ), Dolly De Leon (㽶ƵֱTriangle of Sadness㽶Ƶֱ) and Eddie Redmayne (㽶ƵֱThe Good Nurse㽶Ƶֱ).

While enthusiastic statements and social-media reactions often ensue, few nominees publicly celebrated in the first hours after nominations. Social accounts for many of the films, though, did promote their Globe nods.

NBC last year canceled the telecast for this past January. Instead, the Golden Globes were . Winners were announced on Twitter.

Over the last year and a half, the HFPA has enacted reforms and revamped its membership to now number 96 people, including six Black voting members.

NBC has praised the HFPA for its ongoing reforms but also reworked its contract: The network will broadcast the 2023 show in a one-year deal, making January㽶Ƶֱs show a possible make-or-break moment. NBC also shifted the telecast to a Tuesday, from the Globes㽶Ƶֱ previous Sunday night perch, and will also stream the ceremony on Peacock.

Known for its boozy, celebrity-stuffed broadcast, the Globes long ranked as one of the most-watched non-sporting live programs of the year. But ratings, like for most award shows, have recently slid for the Globes. The 2021 show, held amid the pandemic, was watched by 6.9 million, down from 18 million the year prior.

The HFPA sold the Globes earlier this year to Todd Boehly㽶Ƶֱs Eldridge Industries, which is turning it from a nonprofit to a for-profit venture. The firm also owns Dick Clark Productions, which produces the Globes, and the award show㽶Ƶֱs longtime home, the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California.

For Hollywood studios, the Globes can be a useful marketing tool that helps drive audiences to contenders ahead of the Academy Awards, which will be held March 12. In the past year, no other awards body has emerged as a Globes replacement. With modest ticket sales thus far for many of the fall㽶Ƶֱs most acclaimed dramas, some in the industry will surely hope to see the Globes restored to their former luster.
