Golden Globe Nominations Led by Barbie and Succession

The Golden Globe nominations were announced this morning, revealing that Barbie leads the field with nine nominations in the film category, followed by eight for Oppenheimer and seven for both Killers of the Flower Moon and Poor Things. Over on the TV side, Succession snagged nine nominations, too. The Bear and Only Murders in the Building tied for second with five each, followed by The Crown, which earned four. Netflix and Warner Bros. dominated the top spots, with Netflix snagging 13 nominations on the film side and 15 on the TV side. Warners (through HBO and Max) grabbed 17 on the TV side and 12 on film.

The nominations also included two new categories — one for stand-up comedy and one for, basically, event movies. The categories weren’t a surprise, having been announce earlier this year, and some version of them has been rumored for quite some time. The idea of a Golden Globe Award for stand-up comedy was even tangentially referenced in Bob Dylan’s 1981 song “Lenny Bruce,” which talked of the life and death of the legendary comedian.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, the Globes describe the other new category, for best cinematic and box office, will go to “a box office receipt total/gross of $150 million, of which $100 million must come from the U.S. domestic box office, and/or obtain commensurate digital streaming viewership recognized by trusted industry sources.” Nominees include Barbie, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3, John Wick: Chapter 4, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, Oppenheimer, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, and The Super Mario Bros. Movie.

Ricky Gervais, Trevor Noah, Chris Rock, Amy Schumer, Sarah Silverman and Wanda Sykes took home nominations for the stand-up comedy category, which characterizes its nominees as being part of a “traditional” stand-up special — so, probably not something that would have included Bo Burnham: Inside, a feature-length comedy…thing…that fans and critics thought should have received more awards consideration in 2021.

The 2024 Golden Globe Awards will be the first ceremony since the scandal-plagued Hollywood Foreign Press Association sold off the rights to Dick Clark Productions, the company behind New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, the American Music Awards, the Billboard Music Awards, and numerous other TV “event” programs. Last year, famously, Brendan Fraser declined to appear at the Golden Globes in spite of being nominated for The Whale, because he was unhappy with how the HFPA had addressed a sexual harassment complaint he made against HFPA president Philip Berk.
