This afternoon Hollywood’s (self-labeled) most raucous party of the year announced its nominees. The Golden Globes, which every year gets blasted due to what some believe is not only its continuing lack of progression and dated nature, but also, and rightly so, down to its unapologetic nominating of A-list stars in a hope they can cram as many of Hollywood’s most famous faces into one room at once. That being said, the HFPA (Hollywood Foreign Press Association) seems to have embraced this tag, not only leaning more towards outlandish nominations and winners (last year’s drama winner “Bohemian Rhapsody”) in a hope to cause a stir during awards season, but also this year by bringing back maverick host Ricky Gervais for a record fifth time, as they also bid to stop the downward trend of viewership following this year’s ceremony being the least-watched since 2015. As far as this year’s batch of contenders goes, Noah Baumbach and Netflix’s “Marriage Story” led the way with six nominations, including screenplay, picture, score (Randy Newman), actor (Adam Driver), actress (Scarlett Johansson) and supporting actress (Laura Dern). Following close behind is many peoples Oscar favorite “The Irishman” which although racking up nominations for best picture, director Martin Scorsese, the screenplay from Steven Zaillian and screen legends Al Pacino and Joe Pesci, Robert De Niro found themselves left out in the cold, something that would be very surprising come Oscar nomination day. On an overall note, the big winners of the day were Netflix, who saw all four of their contenders, “Marriage Story”, “Dolemite is my Name’, ‘The Two Popes”, and “The Irishman” nominated in their various best picture categories. The big story and one that rears its ugly head almost every globe nomination day is the lack of female directing nominees. To be honest this is to be expected from the awards body that has only nominated five women in its 77-year history, with only one winner (Barbara Streisand). That said, many thought this would be the year the male domination would end following a stellar 2019 for female directors, from Olivia Wilde, to Marielle Heller, and Celine Sciamma to Alma Har’el. On the TV side of things, although scoring nods (and probable wins) for hit shows “Chernobyl” and “Succession”, HBO’s juggernaut “Game of Thrones” has limped to the end of its awards run with only one nomination, lead actor Kit Harington. Although the globes never gave “Thrones” the title of Best drama they did nominate it for five of its eight seasons, but its blunt final season looks to have cost it any love this time around. Elsewhere, and following on from her Emmy win, “Killing Eve” star Jodie Comer found herself on the inside of the party this time around after being controversially left out a year ago. Although the biggest battle on the television side looks set to go down in the Comedy categories. With last year’s winner “The Kominsky Method” and star Michael Douglas, facing huge competition from the incredible “Barry” and global phenomenon “Fleabag” and its final season. Whilst “Fleabag” star Phoebe Waller-Bridge will hope to stop Rachel Brosnahan (“The Marvellous Mrs. Maisel”) from making it a hat-trick of wins when the two face off on January 5th.
