The 2024 Golden Globes nominations were announced today, and I guess that means that the Globes are back to being a real event? TBD. The Globes will air on January 7th on CBS, from 8 pm to 11 pm. Considering how many friggin’ awards they have to give out, I bet the show goes over by an hour, easily. In any case, the SAG-AFTRA strike really shook up the Oscar campaigns, and weirdly, it does feel like people are simply judging movies and performances on their merit, rather than how much promotion was done. That being said, Bradley Cooper’s Maestro got nominated for a bunch of awards, so the HFPA is probably still getting payoffs. Here are the film nominees (I’m only including the two big TV nominees):

It’s nice to see Lily Gladstone as Best Actress, it’s nice to see so much love for May December (although no nomination for Todd Haynes). I’ve heard terrible things about Saltburn so I wonder if that one will stand up throughout the season. Lots of love for Barbenheimer and I would assume that those two films are the front-runners in the awards season. Notably, no nomination for Halle Bailey for The Little Mermaid? I’m glad Jeffrey Wright is getting love though! Also: My big TV prediction is that Succession sweeps every award it’s up for.
