The nominations for the upcoming Golden Globes in 2024 include top names like Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, Margot Robbie, and Cillian Murphy. “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” lead the pack with nine and eight nods respectively. This will be the first major ceremony to announce its shortlist for the new awards season. The award show aims to recover from recent criticism and a lack of diversity, with new ownership and a more diverse membership. The event, to be hosted on Sunday 7 January, promises a new look and feel. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association was shut down a few months after the last ceremony, and the Globes remains in search of a host after a series of declines by A-list comedy actors.
This year, a new member breakdown includes 47% female, and 60% racially and ethnically diverse with 26.3% Latinx, 13.3% Asian, 11% Black, and 9% Middle Eastern.
The films, TV shows, and stars up for awards include “Barbie,” “Oppenheimer,” “Killers of the Flower Moon,” “Maestro,” and “Anatomy of a Fall” among others. The best picture in the drama category includes various titles, while a variety of great actors are also nominated for top awards. The Golden Globes is preparing for a return, following a year of controversy and change.
