Alongside Emilia Perez , other films are in the race with notable nods. The epic drama The Brutalist , directed by Brady Corbet, earned seven nominations, including best picture and acting nods for Adrien Brody and Guy Pearce. Meanwhile, Conclave , a political thriller centered on the election of a new pope, also emerged strong with six nominations, including recognition for Ralph Fiennes and Isabella Rossellini. Netflix, which acquired Emilia Perez after its Cannes Film Festival debut, dominated the nominations this year with 13 total nominations in film and 23 in TV.
This year’s Golden Globes have seen a rise in star power, with high-profile names like Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet, Angelina Jolie, Denzel Washington, and Selena Gomez all receiving nominations. One of the most anticipated categories this year is best performance in a musical or comedy, where Wicked ’s Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande earned nods for their standout performances, further adding to the excitement surrounding the upcoming award show.
The Globes have historically been seen as a precursor to the Oscars, and this year, there is no clear frontrunner like Oppenheimer or Barbie . Instead, the field is wide open, with the nominations reflecting a broader and more diverse range of films and performances. Even the political drama The Apprentice , featuring Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong, garnered nominations, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the race.
In the TV categories, The Bear continues its dominance, leading all series with five nominations for its third season, including acting nods for Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri. On the comedy side, Only Murders in the Building stands out with nominations for Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez, her second nod of the day.
As for the Golden Globes themselves, this year marks a continued effort to rebuild their reputation after controversies surrounding the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in previous years. The shift in ownership and the introduction of new categories, such as the cinematic achievement award, shows a desire for modernization. With the Golden Globes being broadcast on CBS and streamed on Paramount+ on January 5, 2024, the ceremony promises to be a star-studded event with plenty of drama and excitement in the lead-up to the awards season.
