Greta Gerwig's film "Barbie" leads this year's nominations with 10 nominations (comedy and musical categories).
In the 2024 Golden Globe nomination list, one of the world's most prestigious film awards, there have been changes from tradition, which is to add one nomination for each category, and add two new awards to honor box office revenue and stand-up comedy performances.
Unlike the Oscars, the Golden Globes honor outstanding films in both film and television, and also honor less-noticed crew members such as cinematography, editing, etc. The award organizers also distinguish between film genres such as comedy, drama, and musical.
“Oppenheimer” will compete with other heavyweights in the drama category such as “Killers of the Flower Moon,” “Maestro,” “Anatomy of a Fall,” “The Zone of Interest” and “Past Lives.” Meanwhile, “Barbie” will compete with “Air,” “American Fiction,” “Poor Things,” “May December” and “The Holdovers” in the comedy and musical categories.
In the drama category, HBO’s “Succession” leads with nine nominations, while other dramas with multiple nominations include FX’s “The Bear” and Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building” in the drama category. The remaining TV series nominated are “1923,” “The Crown,” “The Diplomat,” “The Last of Us” and “The Morning Show.” In the comedy/musical TV series category, nominees include “The Bear,” “Only Murders in the Building,” “Abbott Elementary,” “Barry,” “Jury Duty” and “Ted Lasso.”

This year, the Golden Globes have added a few new awards. In addition to the six nominees in each category, instead of the previous five, there are also nominations for box office achievement and stand-up comedy. This means that films like “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” “John Wick: Chapter 4,” and “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” are being recognized for their “huge” box office revenue, and Trevor Noah, Amy Schumer, and Ricky Gervais (who hosted the Golden Globes) are also being noticed for their special performances.
After years of controversy, this year the Organizing Committee of the award has made many new moves when the nomination list has a rich diversity of gender and race of the nominated individuals. In the nomination list for Best Director, there are two female directors, Greta Gerwig and Celine Song. The two female directors will compete with veteran male colleagues such as Martin Scorsese, Christopher Nolan, Bradley Cooper and Yorgos Lanthimos.
Also nominated in the acting categories are Native American star Lily Gladstone, gay black actor Colman Domingo and black actor Jeffrey Wright.
In addition, women also make up more than half of the nominations for screenwriting categories, along with diversity in skin color in other nominations.
In the category of Best Actor in a Drama, the list of nominees is mostly veteran faces, who have had extremely excellent performances on the silver screen in the past year. They are Bradley Cooper (Maestro), Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer), Leonardo DiCaprio (Killers of the Flower Moon). The remaining names are less known but also contain surprises: Colman Domingo (Rustin), Andrew Scott (All of Us Strangers), Barry Keoghan (Saltburn).
In the Best Actress category, there are some new faces, but the competition is no less fierce. This year's nominees are Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon), Carey Mulligan (Maestro), Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall), Annette Bening (Nyad), Greta Lee (Past Lives) and Cailee Spaeny (Priscilla). Carey Mulligan played the role of Mr. Gatsby's muse Daisy in "The Great Gatsby".
On the contrary, in the comedy and musical categories, the Best Actress category is a meeting of many familiar and popular names, such as Jennifer Lawrence (No Hard Feelings), Natalie Portman (May December), Margot Robbie (Barbie) or Emma Stone (Poor Things). The remaining two names are Fantasia Barrino (The Color Purple) and Alma Pöysti (Fallen Leaves).
Similarly, the Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical award also brings together many generations of actors, from veteran, experienced faces to young, beloved actors. They are Nicolas Cage (Dream Scenario), Timothée Chalamet (Wonka), Matt Damon (Air), Paul Giamatti (The Holdovers), Joaquin Phoenix (Beau Is Afraid) and Jeffrey Wright (American Fiction).
The biggest surprise in this year's Golden Globe nominations is the absence of "The Little Mermaid" in the comedy-musical category, as it is a Disney blockbuster and the most media-attracted animated film adaptation of 2023, with mixed opinions surrounding the choice of main actors, changes in content and actors' performances.
In the animated film category, this year, Japanese animation has two films on the list. The latest blockbuster by legendary director Hayao Miyazaki, “The Boy and the Heron”, has just been released and has achieved success in box office revenue, has been selected to open many major international film festivals and has a Golden Globe nomination. Along with “The Boy and the Heron”, “Suzume” also attracted the attention of audiences when it was released in Vietnam with its novel story. The remaining films are all blockbusters from major studios such as “Elemental” (Disney), “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” (Sony Pictures), “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” (Universal Pictures) and “Wish” (Disney).
The Golden Globes are voted on by about 300 journalists from the Hollywood International Press Association, and are not tied to the choices of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which holds the annual Oscars. Last year, “The Fabelmans” and “The Banshees of Inisherin” were honored at the Golden Globes, while “Everything Everywhere All at Once” won the Oscar.
The awards ceremony will take place on January 7, 2024 and will be broadcast live on CBS, the new broadcast channel of the Golden Globes after the scandals that occurred in previous years. The organizers of the awards were accused of lacking diversity in film selection and having ethical and racial issues, after which a series of famous actors boycotted the awards, did not attend the awards ceremony, did not accept the awards, and NBC, a long-time partner of the awards, also refused to broadcast the awards night.
This year, with many changes as well as the expansion of the Hollywood International Press Association members, artists, audiences, filmmakers, and film experts are expecting a real transformation, bringing new life back to this prestigious film award.
