The Golden Globe Nominations are here!

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER leads the pack with nine Globe nominations. | © Warner Bros.
The 83rd Golden Globe nominations were announced this morning, and, despite a few clunkers, I'm going to give a HOT TAKE and say that, overall, these nominations are pretty fantastic. It'll be interesting to see how Oscar voters screw them up! But then, I'll go out on a limb with another HOT TAKE and say that, often, the Globes do better than Oscar wins for Brokeback Mountain, The Social Network, The Power of the Dog, Colin Ferrell, Kodi Smit-McPhee, etc. Let's take a look category by category...
Best Motion Picture – Drama
- Frankenstein (Netflix)
- Hamnet (Focus Features)
- It Was Just an Accident (Neon)
- The Secret Agent (Neon)
- Sentimental Value (Neon)
- Sinners (Warner Bros. Pictures)
Surely, the novel thing with this slate is that *three* international films made it into The Big Race. And whether it's a case of the "new Golden Globe voters" better representing the FOREIGN part of the foreign press, or whether it's due to the strength of these three particular films, it's welcome regardless. It would be thrilling to see all three make it all the way to the Oscar Best Picture slate. Hamnet and Sinners were expected nominees, but the Frankenhaters will despise that del Toro's film grabbed the sixth slot. I like it enormously, but consider a Picture nomination incredibly generous. Is This Thing On? blanked across the board, and no luck for potentials Train Dreams, Avatar, A House of Dynamite, and Weapons.
Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy
- Blue Moon (Sony Pictures Classics)
- Bugonia (Focus Features)
- Marty Supreme (A24)
- No Other Choice (Neon)
- Nouvelle Vague (Netflix)
- One Battle After Another (Warner Bros. Pictures)
Richard Linklater has a very good morning, with both of his very fine films nabbing nominations… both nods were a surprise! Marty and Battle were expected, but this is a great get for Bugonia, an on-the-bubble movie that I'm hoping chugs its way to a bunch of Oscar nominations next month. Still, it looks very iffy, and the same could be said for No Other Choice, which is a fantastic and totally deserving nominee here.
Best Motion Picture – Animated
- Arco (Neon)
- Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Infinity Castle (Aniplex, Crunchyroll, Sony Pictures Entertainment)
- Elio (Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures)
- KPop Demon Hunters (Netflix)
- Little Amélie or the Character of Rain (Gkids)
- Zootopia 2 (Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures)
No big surprises here.
Cinematic and Box Office Achievement
- Avatar: Fire and Ash (Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures)
- F1 (Apple Original Films)
- KPop Demon Hunters (Netflix)
- Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (Paramount Pictures)
- Sinners (Warner Bros. Pictures)
- Weapons (Warner Bros. Pictures, New Line Cinema)
- Wicked: For Good (Universal Pictures)
- Zootopia 2 (Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures)
This is the dumbest award ever. The money IS the reward! Not sure how KPop gets into the box office category when it's a Netflix picture with no reportable box office? Does anybody care who wins this award?
Best Motion Picture – Non-English Language
- It Was Just an Accident (Neon) – France
- No Other Choice (Neon) – South Korea
- The Secret Agent (Neon) – Brazil
- Sentimental Value (Neon) – Norway
- Sirāt (Neon) – Spain
- The Voice of Hind Rajab (Willa) – Tunisia
This category consists of the four pictures up in the larger categories, plus Sirāt and The Voice of Hind Rajab, two films predicted as contenders for Oscar, too. That said, Academy voters often go their own way in surprising turns come Oscar morning, so, even though this slate looks likely (minus one), perhaps it's too on-the-nose? Regardless, this is an incredible list of films.
Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama
- Jessie Buckley (Hamnet)
- Jennifer Lawrence (Die My Love)
- Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value)
- Julia Roberts (After the Hunt)
- Tessa Thompson (Hedda)
- Eva Victor (Sorry, Baby)
Perhaps the only big misses here are Laura Dern and Jodie Foster, two actresses deeply beloved by the Golden Globes. They zagged this year with somewhat surprising nods for Thompson, Victor, Roberts, and Lawrence. All four women do exemplary work in their respective pictures, though, and it's terrific to see them get major recognition this year.
Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama
- Joel Edgerton (Train Dreams)
- Oscar Isaac (Frankenstein)
- Dwayne Johnson (The Smashing Machine)
- Michael B. Jordan (Sinners)
- Wagner Moura (The Secret Agent)
- Jeremy Allen White (Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere)
Hopefully, Edgerton will be able to ride this train to his first Oscar nomination for a soulful, resourceful turn. Could he even be a surprise winner? It will likely go to Moura, and well-deserved for a sterling performance of depth and range. This is a good fuel for Jordan, who is an on-the-bubble Oscar contender. The other three gents are all sort of also-rans already at this point in the race.
Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy
- Rose Byrne (If I Had Legs I’d Kick You)
- Cynthia Erivo (Wicked: For Good)
- Kate Hudson (Song Sung Blue)
- Chase Infiniti (One Battle After Another)
- Amanda Seyfried (The Testament of Ann Lee)
- Emma Stone (Bugonia)
No huge surprises here, and Cláudio can rest easily knowing his girl Kate Hudson made the final cut! (editor's note: How dare you?!? Blasphemy!!!) This morning was good news for Infiniti and Stone, two on-the-cusp contenders giving excellent performances. But it seems like a three-way race between Byrne, Erivo, and Seyfried. The Australian actress is on a tear of wins, so she may pull ahead here to make the Oscar a battle of Buckley vs. Byrne?
Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy
- Timothée Chalamet (Marty Supreme)
- George Clooney (Jay Kelly)
- Leonardo Dicaprio (One Battle After Another)
- Ethan Hawke (Blue Moon)
- Lee Byung-Hun (No Other Choice)
- Jesse Plemons (Bugonia)
It's terrific to see Plemons, who's been overlooked by a few of the other award bodies so far, recognized for a superb performance. This is also good fuel for Clooney, Hawke, and Lee Byung-Hun, although the race probably comes down to Chalamet vs. DiCaprio. Is it the two of them vs. Moura in the Oscar race this year?
Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture
- Emily Blunt (The Smashing Machine)
- Elle Fanning (Sentimental Value)
- Ariana Grande (Wicked: For Good)
- Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas (Sentimental Value)
- Amy Madigan (Weapons)
- Teyana Taylor (One Battle After Another)
Wow, the Globes just *love* Emily Blunt. Her inclusion is a surprise only if you forget their worship of her. Thrilling that both Sentimental Value actresses made the cut. It's a very fun race because it's volatile and still could take some turns through the rest of the season. People who missed include Glenn Close, Wunmi Mosaku, Gwyneth Paltrow and Odessa A'zion, Regina Hall, Jennifer Lopez, and Nina Hoss - any of whom could show up on Oscar morning. Still, I feel the last five here would make a stellar Oscar category. And if Madigan wins here, could she take it all the way?
Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture
- Benicio Del Toro (One Battle After Another)
- Jacob Elordi (Frankenstein)
- Paul Mescal (Hamnet)
- Sean Penn (One Battle After Another)
- Adam Sandler (Jay Kelly)
- Stellan Skarsgård (Sentimental Value)
These were the expected six. I see Nathaniel (editor's note: and Cláudio) cursing at the gods for almost all of these men being co-leads, but wow, these are six outstanding performances. It will be interesting to see who Hollywood chooses to anoint as the one who ends up sweeping (as this category usually does). At the Oscars, One Battle will be looking for one acting win to go with its likely big Picture/Director victory, so will it be Leo? Teyana? Benicio? Sean? It could be any of those four at this point, or none!
Best Director – Motion Picture
- Paul Thomas Anderson (One Battle After Another)
- Ryan Coogler (Sinners)
- Guillermo Del Toro (Frankenstein)
- Jafar Panahi (It Was Just an Accident)
- Joachim Trier (Sentimental Value)
- Chloé Zhao (Hamnet)
No huge surprises. Given their overall love for The Secret Agent, it's perhaps a bit of a surprise not to see Kleber Mendonça Filho here (it's such a director's picture, a real "world" beautifully built by him). Other omissions include Josh Safdie, Park Chan-wook, and Yorgos Lanthimos based on their films getting nominations elsewhere. But it doesn't matter. Anderson will likely coast through the season on a series of easy wins.
Best Screenplay – Motion Picture
- Paul Thomas Anderson (One Battle After Another)
- Ronald Bronstein, Josh Safdie (Marty Supreme)
- Ryan Coogler (Sinners)
- Jafar Panahi (It Was Just an Accident)
- Eskil Vogt, Joachim Trier (Sentimental Value)
- Chloé Zhao, Maggie O’Farrell (Hamnet)
No big surprises here, reflective of their affection for all these films in other categories. The writing nod for It Was Just an Accident is awesome news for that picture.
Best Original Score – Motion Picture
- Alexandre Desplat (Frankenstein)
- Ludwig Göransson (Sinners)
- Jonny Greenwood (One Battle After Another)
- Kangding Ray (Sirāt)
- Max Richter (Hamnet)
- Hans Zimmer (F1)
That Sirāt nomination comes the morning after winning the prize from the LA Film Critics.
Best Original Song – Motion Picture
- "Dream as One" Avatar: Fire and Ash
Music By: Miley Cyrus, Andrew Wyatt, Mark Ronson, Simon Franglen
Lyrics By: Miley Cyrus, Andrew Wyatt, Mark Ronson, Simon Franglen
- "Golden" KPop Demon Hunters

Lyrics By: Nick Cave
Best Television Series – Drama
- The Diplomat (Netflix)
- The Pitt (HBO Max)
- Pluribus (Apple TV)
- Severance (Apple TV)
- Slow Horses (Apple TV)
- The White Lotus (HBO Max)
No big surprises here either. Pluribus could shake up the Severance vs. The Pitt race that we saw at the Emmys?
Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy
- Abbott Elementary (ABC)
- The Bear (FX on Hulu)
- Hacks (HBO Max)
- Nobody Wants This (Netflix)
- Only Murders in the Building (Hulu)
- The Studio (Apple TV)
Very reflective of the Emmy race. No newly nominated comedy for the Globes this year.
Best Television Limited Series, Anthology Series or Motion Picture Made for Television
- Adolescence (Netflix)
- All Her Fault (Peacock)
- The Beast In Me (Netflix)
- Black Mirror (Netflix)
- Dying for Sex (FX on Hulu)
- The Girlfriend (Prime Video)
Adolescence is likely to clean up at the Globes just like it did at the Emmys.
Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series – Drama
- Kathy Bates (Matlock)
- Britt Lower (Severance)
- Helen Mirren (Mobland)
- Bella Ramsey (The Last of Us)
- Keri Russell (The Diplomat)
- Rhea Seehorn (Pluribus)
This award may go to Seehorn. The Globes love to be the first people to christen TV actors in their shows before an Emmy (a cool trend), so, due to lack of excitement from anyone else, that seems likely.
Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Series – Drama
- Sterling K. Brown (Paradise)
- Diego Luna (Andor)
- Gary Oldman (Slow Horses)
- Mark Ruffalo (Task)
- Adam Scott (Severance)
- Noah Wyle (The Pitt)
Ruffalo is the "new" addition to these Emmy gentlemen, so perhaps they'll choose him?
Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy
- Kristen Bell (Nobody Wants This)
- Ayo Edebiri (The Bear)
- Selena Gomez (Only Murders In the Building)
- Natasha Lyonne (Poker Face)
- Jenna Ortega (Wednesday)
- Jean Smart (Hacks)
All ladies who have seen Emmy nominations as well. This is not an incredibly exciting race. Hacks had a very not-good season.
Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy
- Adam Brody (Nobody Wants This)
- Steve Martin (Only Murders in the Building)
- Glen Powell (Chad Powers)
- Seth Rogen (The Studio)
- Martin Short (Only Murders in the Building)
- Jeremy Allen White (The Bear)
The Globes nominated Glen Powell last year for Hit Man, and he's a major talent. Will the Globes go with Adam Brody? He feels in the Colin Farrell/Sebastian Stan vein of super-hot-and-incredibly-talented-character-actor-who-should-win-awards-but-don't category, which I heartily support.
Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television
- Claire Danes (The Beast in Me)
- Rashida Jones (Black Mirror)
- Amanda Seyfried (Long Bright River)
- Sarah Snook (All Her Fault)
- Michelle Williams (Dying for Sex)
- Robin Wright (The Girlfriend)
Williams should win this in a walk.
Best Performance by a Male Actorin a Limited Series, Anthology Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television
- Jacob Elordi (The Narrow Road to the Deep North)
- Paul Giamatti (Black Mirror)
- Stephen Graham (Adolescence)
- Charlie Hunnam (Monster: The Ed Gein Story)
- Jude Law (Black Rabbit)
- Matthew Rhys (The Beast in Me)
Elordi had a very good morning! But Stephen Graham should handily win here.
Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role on Television
- Carrie Coon (The White Lotus)
- Erin Doherty (Adolescence)
- Hannah Einbinder (Hacks)
- Catherine O’hara (The Studio)
- Parker Posey (The White Lotus)
- Aimee Lou Wood (The White Lotus)
Katharine LaNasa's omission is surprising, but hopefully it opens the door for Carrie Coon, who was sublime in her role.
Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role on Television
- Owen Cooper (Adolescence)
- Billy Crudup (The Morning Show)
- Walton Goggins (The White Lotus)
- Jason Isaacs (The White Lotus)
- Tramell Tillman (Severance)
- Ashley Walters (Adolescence)
Emmy winners Cooper and Tillman are likely the top contenders here, both of them spectacularly good.
Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television
- Bill Maher (Bill Maher: Is Anyone Else Seeing This?)
- Brett Goldstein (Brett Goldstein: The Second Best Night of Your Life)
- Kevin Hart (Kevin Hart: Acting My Age)
- Kumail Nanjiani (Kumail Nanjiani: Night Thoughts)
- Ricky Gervais (Ricky Gervais: Mortality)
- Sarah Silverman (Sarah Silverman: Postmortem)
Best Podcast
- Armchair Expert With Dax Shepard (Wondery)
- Call Her Daddy (SiriusXM)
- Good Hang With Amy Poehler (Spotify)
- The Mel Robbins Podcast (SiriusXM)
- Smartless (SiriusXM)
- Up First (NPR)
What do you make of this year's Globe nominations? Sound off in the comments.
Reader Comments (27)
The lead categories are so dumb: Everyone who got Oscar buzz this year is nominated, shoehorned into whichever genre allows them all to fit. As a result, these nominations don’t help or hurt anyone, they tell us nothing.
You need mainstream wildcards like the leads of The Roses and Black Bag, a Channing Tatum, Dakota Johnson or Julia Garner to take up space and push certain bottom tier “prestige” contenders (like Roberts or Lawrence) out of the conversation early. That's what the Globes were good at, and they've obviously given up.
I don’t think Blunt will happen (even if she gets a SAG nod) but she blocked Paltrow and Close, both of whom really needed this. I'm less worried about Wunmi.
I wish the Oscars would switch to a six person field for all categories like the Globes do. You'd help at least one "almost there" performance or director/writer/etc, but would cut down on the silly top 10 best picture field - at least at the Oscars and other awards that do the same. I'm always irked that they combine all television performances for the supporting categories. They separated the limited series from the comedy/dramas one year recently and it helped continuing series actors get a nod or two.
The box office category is ludicrous you're right, but KPOP DEMON HUNTERS was in theaters dearie, so it does have reportable box office! It was number one for the weekend actually!
Justice for Nina Hoss!
Do we think Wicked whiffing on Best Picture - Musical or Comedy is a death knell for its Oscar nomination chances?? Wild that it would get in at Critics Choice and lose out here to No Other Choice, Blue Moon, and Nouvelle Vague!!
Eric, thank you for doing this reaction. As a voter, I'm not supposed to comment too much on our nominations, but it was fun to read your take on these Globe results.
I am so glad Emily Bunt got in,I thought she might cos they adore her,some actresses get the Globes love no matter what film they are in but she is on fire in that film,too bad it died the death with critics and audiences because i feel she'd be the runaway winner,it has lots of juicy clips.
Roberts and Lawrene are great but such Globe pics,surprised they didn't go with Jodie but that films buzz is silent.
Thompson but no Hoss and she is 100 times better than Thompson in Hedda.
Rose Byrne is really staking her claim on the Oscar.
I hate this Wicked double dipping,neither performers is reinventing the wheel second time round and I thought Grade should have won last year but not this year.
Train Dreams is happening could they love it so much that Macy is that person who doesn't show up anywhere and gets a surprise nomination that makes total sense and he is actually a supporting role,he might get SAG nominated.
GoGo Go Amy,I think she's winning that Oscar.
Wagner wins drama and loses the Oscar to Chalamet or Leo.
I don't think Benicio needs a second or Penn a third so my votes with Elordi.
Isaac is bad in Frankensten,I don't remember a single scene of his,not one stand out moment at least it wasn't Waltz.
Ahhh Del Toro for Director not that films strong point.
Shocked by the lack of Paltrow love.
Expected Johnson,they love huge stars at the party.
"Eva Victor (Sorry, Baby)"
It's a Golden Globes miracle.
It does seem that OBAA has a clear path to steamroll from here, given the lack of a single alternative to get behind (famous last words), but I think that it gets only a single acting win (unlike Oppenheimer with 2 or EEAAO with 3), and that that's either Penn or Benicio in supporting. Hamnet looks to be putting all its chips on Buckley, and the lack of another likely win category for Marty Supreme probably means they determine Timmy's earned it. He's young, but has a much better filmography than Brody or Dreyfuss at the same age -- and seems much nicer!
I wonder if ppl are generally underestimating Frankenstein's chances. Not universally loved by critics, but I think GDT overperforms generally in awards.
I really wanted a surprise Comedy Actor nod for Austin Butler.
Peter: I just logged onto say the same thing - I hand't even noticed till now, but Wicked missing in Musical/Comedy at this, of all places, is very loud. the word "snub" is rarely appropriate - but this is A LOT of voters making a real choice against something.
Wicked as an inevitable BP contender (in the era of 10 nominees where it’s not that meaningful) bothers me a lot less than Erivo and Grande taking up 20% of the actress categories for the second year in a row, for the same performances in the same project.
”Two-time Academy Award nominee Ariana Grande,” who honestly feels that’s necessary?
Happy:Madigan, Hind Rajab, Linklater, the two nominations for the underrated The smashing machine that at least won something in Venice
They were drunk: Oscar Isaac and Guillermo Del Toro, Jennifer Lawrence, Jeremy Allen White.
Here to remember: the best Glenn Close in thirty years, Jeremy Strong, Austin Butler and Regina King, Late Shift.
As a cinephile the snub of Wicked for good in best motion picture musical is right, but as a gay is bad.
I really think that we will have three international movies nominated for best picture at the Oscars this year.
DK that's the best comment,totally true and co sign exactly how you feel.
And category fraud on top of that, in Grande’s case! I feel like the entire Wicked awards phenomenon has been so low-integrity from the beginning, it’s maddening.
Good perspective on Grande!
Will Del Toro this year be like Belfast/Dench in 2021? Another supporting performance in the film hyped all season and a co-star swoops in at the last second..
EVERYONE + PETER -- it just occurred to me that they totally dissed *BOTH* traditional musicals this year (WICKED & KISS OF THE SPIDER-WOMAN)... these are the not the Globes we knew and loved and sometimes made fun of. It's practically an entirely different org now. No way in hell the former HPAA doesn't nominate both AND Tonatiuh and probably even Jennifer Lopez. But yeah, Wicked missing... we won't know if that's telling until the SAG nominations I think. If Erivo and especially if both she and Grande miss there it's over.
MARSHA - it's so weird to me that HAMNET didn't catch on more. I think it's incredible. But yeah, it does feel like *everything* is running a distant second or fifth to OBAA
But Hamnet putting all its chips on Buckley would be less annoying if they weren't so egregiously campaigining Mescal for supporting. That campaign should be in any textbook explain the evils of Category Fraud. We don't think he's quite strong enough to nab a lead nomination (see also Cate in Notes from a Scandal and many many many more) so we'll just put him in the lesser category where he'll have an easy time as a lead with a lot of screentime. Tt there is clearly little passion for his work -- everyone makes little demeaning indirect comments about it and how he can't match what Buckley is doing (i think he's great in the movie but that's not the point) but he's still a big star and a lead in a big oscar movie so he will glide into supporting.
it's so crass... but we go through this every year.
FLOWERS -- love your 'they were drunk' comment. Oscar Isaac is legitimately not good in Frankenstein so why on earth is he taking up space there . With so many of the major contenders campaigning "comedy or musical" this year it did leave a bit of a hole but they could have still won cool points and gone further afield with stronger performances or least more charismatic film-carrying achievements: Blunck (The Plague), Mescal (History of Sound), O'Connor (The Mastermind), Arnett (Is This Thing On?), Ben Whishaw (Peter Hujar's Day), Sergi Lopez (Sirat), Brad Pitt (F1). Isaac is totally outshine by every single one of his co-stars (no small dubious accomplishment).
Am I the only one who thinks Sirat is hot garbage?
Nominating Emily Blunt over Gwyneth/Odessa, Wunmi Mosaku, Regina Hall, Kirsten Dunst, Jennifer Lopez, etc., was a choice...
I hope Amy Madigan wins!
And I hated every second of Wicked: For Good, honestly. It should NEVER have been two movies. As good as Grande and Erivo are, I hate the idea of them being nominated again for what was the same role/shoot, split into two films. I hope they are both snubbed on Oscar nominations morning as they have been justly rewarded with nominations last year.
Plus, Grande is NOT supporting so it really irks me that she's stealing a spot in supporting for the SECOND YEAR IN A ROW.
The actress categories are too competitive this year to throw slots away like that.
Nominating Blunt was the loveliest surprise for me.
Will the Academy voters especially the actors want to nominate the Wicked ladies twice in a row or will they see sense.
Will supporting actress turn out to be Taylor in the major BP frontrunner vs the populist choice Madigan that the internet will love and give the academy a 1,000 cool points.
Mescal is the person I think will be a major snub and Scott the surprise nominee who is brought along with his lead actor and he is owed after the All of us Strangers snub.
Is it over for those Marty Supreme ladies.
Is it Buckley,Bryne,Riensve and any of the other actresses vying for the last 2 spots where I think passion will matter a lot.
Movies/performances I've seen:
Blue Moon - I don't get the love for this movie or Ethan Hawke. I thought both were truly horrible and annoying. Nouvelle Vague, though far from perfect, is better in every way.
Bugonia - Great movie. Not Yorgos' best. Stone and Plemons are fantastic.
No Other Choice - Great movie. Should definitely get picture, director, screenplay and actor. Personally, I liked it better than It Was Just an Accident.
One Battle After Another - People are really overreacting to this one, but it is great. Far from PTA's best, but at least it's not Licorice Pizza or Inherent Vice. So, I don't have a problem with this one being the one he gets all the awards for. Leo is fine, we've seen that exact performance from him before. Penn and del Toro are hilarious, though if they really wanted to award del Toro, Phoenician Scheme is right there. Teyana Taylor's layered performance is fantastic. Chase Infinity is good, but she's not good enough for a nomination.
Frankenstein - I hated this. Boring, overlong, just lame. It also feels and looks like a Netflix movie. What's the point of building all those sets if it's going to look like CGI anyway? Isaac is Razzie worthy. Elordi, I guess I can say that despite that Beastly makeup, he still manages to be ok. Does he deserve to be nominated? LOL No.
It Was Just an Accident - Really good movie, but it didn't feel new enough or daring enough. I guess I expected more. A case of the film existing being far more impressive than the actual film.
Sentimental Value - Gorgeous film in every way. All 4 leads are fantastic. I still haven't seen The Secret Agent, but to me, this one is the best out of the international movies.
Sinners - Hated it. Watched it twice. I don't get the love for this movie. Great concept and they barely do anything with it. What's with all the pussy licking dialogue? It drags and it looks ugly. The so-called famous scene...I found it kinda laughable. Also, I don't think Michael B Jordan is good in it, and the rest of the cast, while solid, is not worthy of any nominations. To me this is pretencious From Dusk Till Dawn. Also, the song I liked best, "Pale, Pale Moon", isn't getting any recognition.
KPop Demon Hunters - It's an overlong, mediocre film with a couple of catchy songs. Nothing else.
Sirāt - I'm on the "I loved it" side. Unique experience.
Jennifer Lawrence (Die My Love) - She's great. Deserves the nomination.
Julia Roberts (After the Hunt) - Her best work since Erin Brockovich. The movie was completely misunderstood. I found it compelling and complex. Far better than Challengers.
Tessa Thompson (Hedda) - Solid performance. Is it great? Mmm, maybe. It's no Passing.
Eva Victor (Sorry, Baby) - SO happy for her. She's so good in it.
Rose Byrne (If I Had Legs I’d Kick You) - Rose is fantastic and I really hope she gets in. The movie is really solid, too.
Cynthia Erivo (Wicked: For Good) - She's so flat. She has like one facial expression throughout both movies. There's no layers. She didn't deserve it for the first movie, she certainy does not deserve it for this one. The movie is also absolutely, shockingly incompetent.
Emily Blunt (The Smashing Machine) - LOL No. I love her, but she's BAD in this.
Ariana Grande (Wicked: For Good) - She's ok, I guess. But no, just no. Go away.
Amy Madigan (Weapons) - She's fun, and I'm always happy if a horror performance gets love. But Sally Hawkins' performance in Bring Her Back blows her out of the water. I think this is a case of the character and the look being bigger than the performance.
Joel Edgerton (Train Dreams) - He's fantastic and the movie is so good that you can forgive that hilariously bad CGI bear.
Dwayne Johnson (The Smashing Machine) - HAHA NO.
George Clooney (Jay Kelly) - He's the best thing about the movie, but still no. I thought the film was a mess.
Adam Sandler (Jay Kelly) - Not good enough.
Movies/performances that were snubbed:
Roofman - At least give Dunst a shout out. She's SO good. And the movie very charming. One of the few surprises of the year.
The Phoenician Scheme - Like I said before, del Toro is incredible in this.
Twinless - Forget Elordi, Dylan O'Brien is the true "Oh shit, he can ACT" candidate of the year.
Inside - Cosmo Jarvis is incredible. Yet another better choice than Elordi.
Bob Trevino Likes It - Leguizamo's best performance ever?
@Sad Man,interesting commentary,agree with some but definitely not Blunt,I thought she was fantastic.
Finally, that podcast category—so dumb.
Amy Poehler is not a good interviewer; She happens to get great guests (because she's comedy A-list) so her show is unavoidable, but by technical podcast standards it's a cheesy, totally derivative show. She and her guests giggle uncontrollably, play with physical props they don't explain well to listeners—the theme music is shrill AF, her demeanor is cringe-Gen-X-pretending-to-be-cringe-Millennial.
All to say, there are great podcasters out there who do beautiful, sophisticated work within the medium (99% Invisible, Ezra Klein, fictional podcasts, on and on and on) and this is just a quick way to add celebs to the ceremony.
Wild year for the Globes. The “Comedy/Musical” lineup feels oddly split between true comedies and prestige-leaning pieces, which is why Wicked missing stings more than usual — voters clearly wanted to make a point. On the flip side, I love seeing international titles break into the Big Race; Sentimental Value and Accident getting that double recognition might actually nudge Oscar voters to be braver.
Small TV aside: Severance vs. The Pitt will be fun, but the supporting categories being lumped together still feel like a miss — limited series work gets swallowed by the big streamers’ juggernauts.
Unrelated but for anyone following the Paramount+ slate this season, I’m publishing a fan guide/resource hub for Landman — cast, episode breakdowns, production notes, and release updates all in one place:
