The Nominations For The Golden Globes Are Out: Here’s All The Winners, Shocks and Snubs

Babe wake up, it’s awards season again.

Another year, another awards season.

The nominations for the Golden Globe Awards dropped last night, and the 80^th edition of the annual film and TV awards ceremony is set to be a big one.

Last year’s Golden Globes event was filled with controversy after countless celebrities boycotted the event, stars like Tom Cruise returned their awards and NBC even decided not to broadcast the awards night, amidst allegations of racism.

This year is set to be another controversial one.

Often seen as the little sibling to the much larger Oscars night, the Golden Globes is often seen as the precursor – many winners of Golden Globes have gone on to win the Oscar in their respective categories.

So without further ado, here’s everything you need to know about this year’s crop of Golden Globe Nominees.

Who are the major nominees?

The big winner of this year’s Golden Globes nominations has to be Martin McDonagh’s film The Banshees of Insherin. The film, starring Colin Farrell (Oz in The Batman) and Brendan Gleeson (Mad-Eye Moody in the Harry Potter series) is a spiritual follow-up to In Bruges, featuring the same cast and director.

The Banshees of Insherin has netted eight nominations, including Best Picture – Musical or Comedy and Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor (twice).

Another successful film from this year is Everything Everywhere All at Once, which has grabbed 6 nominations, including Best Actress for Michelle Yeoh.

Big winners in the TV categories include Abbott Elementary, which led the way with five nominations, and The Crown, Only Murders In The Building, Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, Pam & Tommy and White Lotus, which all picked up four noms each.

Young actors also picked up some huge kudos in this year’s awards – of course we have to shout out Jenna Ortega, who was nominated for best actress in a musical or comedy series for Wednesday.

For Aussies, five home-grown stars are in the running – Cate Blanchett (best Actress, drama, Tár), Baz Luhrmann (best picture, drama, Elvis), Margot Robbie (best actress, musical or comedy, Babylon), Hugh Jackman (best actor, drama, The Son) and Elizabeth Debicki (best supporting actress, The Crown).

Who are the major snubs?

Anytime we talk nominations, we have to talk who was left behind.

There were some major snubs this year, and people aren’t happy about them.

Some are upset about the lack of nominations for My Policeman, especially for Harry Styles, meanwhile TV drama fans are furious about the snubbing of Rhea Seehorn for Better Call Saul.

Fans of White Lotus are in shambles, after breakout star Meghann Fahy wasn’t recognised with a nomination alongside co-stars Aubrey Plaza and Jennifer Coolidge.

We also saw some interesting snubs for stars like Tom Cruise and Will Smith, especially after Cruise’s boycott and Smith’s interesting behaviour at the Oscars.

What’s the controversy this year?

As always, these awards carry with them a whole lot of drama and controversy – and this year’s no different.

Of course, there’s a lot still on people’s minds from last year – however since the drama in 2022, they’ve overhauled their membership and enacted reforms to try to address these issues.

But it’s not over for the Golden Globes, as people have called out this year’s nominations for biases.

Some have noted that in the category for Best Director, no women have been nominated, despite films like She Said, Where the Crawdad Sings, The Woman King and Don’t Worry Darling all being led by women.

But the big thing on everyone’s mind this year is Brendan Fraser. We’ve all loved seeing The Mummy star return to the big screen with The Whale, and it’s amazing to see him nominated for best actor in a drama motion picture, but it comes with a saddening story.

Fraser was allegedly assaulted by the former president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (the body behind the Golden Globes), and has pledged to boycott the upcoming awards ceremony.

the fact that the golden globes gaslit and essentially mocked brendan fraser for being assaulted by their former president for YEARS, only to turn around and nominate him for an award to get him back into their good graces…what an absolutely spineless and horrid organization

"I have more history with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association than I have respect for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. No, I will not participate," Fraser said to GQ in November.

"It's because of the history that I have with them. My mother didn't raise a hypocrite. You can call me a lot of things, but not that."

Fraser has alleged that Phillip Berk, former HFPA president, groped and assaulted him in 2003, although Berk has denied these claims.

It’s clear that controversy is here to stay for the Golden Globes.

The ceremony is set to take place on 11 January Australian time, with comedian Jerrod Carmichael as the host.
