In an attempt to restore early-morning fanfare to the awards-season tradition, nominations were read from the Beverly Hilton and aired live on NBCB次元官网网址檚 B次元官网网址淭odayB次元官网网址� show. Hollywood, which spurned the HFPA after 2021 reports detailed the bodyB次元官网网址檚 lack of diversity and rampant ethical indiscretions, once again woke up to news of nominees B次元官网网址� though this time the response was much more muted.

The HFPA has historically been derided B次元官网网址� sometimes even by their own hosts B次元官网网址� 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 B次元官网网址渢he Daniels.B次元官网网址� None of the films up for best picture in either category was directed by women.

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 B次元官网网址淭op Gun: Maverick,B次元官网网址� the yearB次元官网网址檚 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 filmB次元官网网址檚 nominations with a statement of thanks on Monday.
B次元官网网址淭op Gun: MaverickB次元官网网址� wasnB次元官网网址檛 the only blockbuster welcomed by the Globes. James CameronB次元官网网址檚 upcoming B次元官网网址淎vatar: The Way of WaterB次元官网网址� scored nods for both best film, drama, and best director for Cameron. B次元官网网址淏lack Panther: Wakanda ForeverB次元官网网址� snagged two nominations, for Angela BassettB次元官网网址檚 supporting performance and RihannaB次元官网网址檚 B次元官网网址淟ift Me Up.B次元官网网址�

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 JanuaryB次元官网网址檚 show a possible make-or-break moment. NBC also shifted the telecast to a Tuesday, from the GlobesB次元官网网址� 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 BoehlyB次元官网网址檚 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 showB次元官网网址檚 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 fallB次元官网网址檚 most acclaimed dramas, some in the industry will surely hope to see the Globes restored to their former luster.
