Today (Monday 11th December 2023) saw the announcement of the nominees for the 81st Golden Globe Awards, awarded by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA). Actors Cedric The Entertainer (Barbershop, Madagascar, The Soul Man) and Wilmer Valderrama (That 70's Show, NCIS, Party Monster) made the nominations announcement.
As longtime readers of the blog will be aware, the HFPA split their awards, giving certain categories for both Drama and Musical or Comedy, rather than just going for the out-and-out drama as most awards tend to do.

A full list of nominees can be found here.
Barbie gets a whopping nine nominations (with three nods in the Best Original Song category) with Oppenheimer in second place with eight. Killers Of The Flower Moon and Poor Things have seven apiece.
The HFPA have announced a couple of changes to the awards; whilst they aren't going down the route of gender-neutral categories, each acting category now has six nominees (instead of five, as has been in the past). They have also introduced two new awards- Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy or Television and Cinematic and Box Office Achievement (which has such diverse nominees as Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and John Wick: Chapter 4)
The Golden Globes will be handed out in a ceremony on Sunday 7th January 2024, to be broadcast live on CBS (who have taken over from NBC as the Globes' network home). No host has been announced as yet.
Congratulations to all nominees!
So, next up on the awards season trail, and our last stop before the Christmas holidays, will be the Critics' Choice Awards who will announce their nominees this coming Wednesday (13th December 2024)
