Golden Globe Nomination Recap
The award season kicks off with the return of the Golden Globes as ‘Banshees of Inisherin’ and ‘Abbott Elementary’ lead the way in nominations this year.
Returning back to your screens is the 80th annual Golden Globes taking place on January 10th. Hosted by comedian Jerrod Carmichael the show will air Tuesday evening at eight o’clock EST on NBC and Peacock.
A revived Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) is back after being off the air last year. The HFPA has done an overhaul of members and enacted reforms to cut back unethical behavior that has occurred in the past. There is a slight sign of growth within the organization with only six Black members being included in the voting, but it is a ways off from the reforms that 21st-century Hollywood is hoping to see. Still, the HFPA is increasing member growth,103 international, non-members have since been added.
Another action the HFPA took was investing more interest into their television categories by adding more awards. The Television categories now are amassed into a larger gamut, breaking the supporting actor and actress categories up. Formerly, the television category included nominees from ongoing television series, limited series, and made-for-television movies. Now, the supporting actor and actress have their own awards in the ongoing television, limited/anthology series, and television movies.
A glaring oversight this year from the nominations is the absence of females in the director’s category as well as in the best motion picture category for both drama and musical or Comedy. The push for diversity and inclusion should never end and only makes for better work.
Favorites for Award Season
Many favorites have already been established by fans. Brendan Fraser has been a favorite for a long time. Receiving a six-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival has put him at the top spot for many people this year. Olivia Colman is another favorite as she has been a hot nominee at the Academy Awards and Globes in the past.
‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ has the potential to sweep this season. Popular with critics, it blew expectations for viewers out of the water. Michelle Yeoh may receive her first golden globe as well as the directors of the film Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert.
‘The Crown’ is often a favorite to win at the major award shows but it could be a toss-up as shows like ‘Ozark’ and ‘Better Call Saul’ end their runs with some of their best seasons made. ‘Abbott Elementary’ and Quinta Brunson deserve all the accolades this year as it is one of the best comedies out today.
FX should not be slept on as they have racked up a number of nominations. ‘The Bear’ and ‘Under the Banner of Heaven’ both released this year with stellar reviews and breathtaking stories that may take the light away from other places. Netflix and HBO Max will be hard to beat this year as ‘The White Lotus’ and ‘Wednesday’ have become two of the most popular series in the last month.

Click here to read The Hollywood Insider’s CEO Pritan Ambroase’s love letter to Cinema, TV and Media. An excerpt from the love letter: The Hollywood Insider’s CEO/editor-in-chief Pritan Ambroase affirms, “We have the space and time for all your stories, no matter who/what/where you are. Media/Cinema/TV have a responsibility to better the world and The Hollywood Insider will continue to do so. Talent, diversity and authenticity matter in Cinema/TV, media and storytelling. In fact, I reckon that we should announce “talent-diversity-authenticity-storytelling-Cinema-Oscars-Academy-Awards” as synonyms of each other. We show respect to talent and stories regardless of their skin color, race, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, etc., thus allowing authenticity into this system just by something as simple as accepting and showing respect to the human species’ factual diversity. We become greater just by respecting and appreciating talent in all its shapes, sizes, and forms. Award winners, which includes nominees, must be chosen on the greatness of their talent ALONE.
I am sure I am speaking for a multitude of Cinema lovers all over the world when I speak of the following sentiments that this medium of art has blessed me with. Cinema taught me about our world, at times in English and at times through the beautiful one-inch bar of subtitles. I learned from the stories in the global movies that we are all alike across all borders. Remember that one of the best symbols of many great civilizations and their prosperity has been the art they have left behind. This art can be in the form of paintings, sculptures, architecture, writings, inventions, etc. For our modern society, Cinema happens to be one of them. Cinema is more than just a form of entertainment, it is an integral part of society. I love the world uniting, be it for Cinema, TV, media, art, fashion, sport, etc. Please keep this going full speed.”
