The anticipation for Hollywood’s grand celebration is soaring as the 81st Golden Globe Awards prepare to kick-start the 2024 awards season. This year’s ceremony promises a fresh start with significant changes, including a new broadcast channel, a revamped voting body, and a diverse lineup of nominees.
New Beginnings
Amidst past criticisms of diversity issues and ethical concerns within the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), the 2024 Golden Globes have undergone a substantial overhaul. Airing on CBS instead of NBC and under new ownership, this year’s awards will witness a revamped voting body comprising 300 international journalists, hailed as the “most ethnically diverse of all the major awards shows.”
Leading Contenders
Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” leads the pack with nine nominations, closely followed by Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” with eight nods. Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” and Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things” stand tied for third place, both with seven nominations apiece.
Television Triumphs
HBO’s concluding season of “Succession” dominates the TV realm, securing nine nominations. FX’s “The Bear” and Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building” share the spotlight with five nominations each.
Notable Snubs
While the nominations spark excitement, notable exclusions also stand out. Some significant snubs include “The Color Purple” in the Best Musical/Comedy category, Taraji P. Henson’s performance in “The Color Purple,” and Zac Efron’s role in the upcoming film “The Iron Claw.”
