Hollywood was up bright and early today for the Golden Globe Nominations. How cute are Dakota Fanning's glasses? As per usual they began with randomness (Best Song, Best Screenplay, some TV categories) before saving some biggies until the Today Show at 8:15 AM. We'll have much more coverage later but for now just a few quick notes since it's an information avalanche.
FILM
Drama
- 1917
- The Irishman
- Joker
- Marriage Story
- The Two Popes
Netflix really campaigned with the HFPA as you can see hogging 60% of Best Drama. This is a tough break for Ford V Ferrari and Little Women which both seemed like Globes-ready movies...
Musical or Comedy
- Dolemite is My Name
- Jojo Rabbit
- Knives Out
- Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
- Rocketman
This is the first time in recent memory where they've skipped the loudest musical (Cats!) in the Musical category. Perhaps their private screening didn't go well.
Actress, Drama
- Cynthia Erivo, Harriet
- Scarlett Johansson, Marriage Story
- Saoirse Ronan, Little Women
- Charlize Theron, Bombshell
- Renée Zellweger, Judy
Shockingly normcore. Usually they have one surprise.
Actress, Musical or Comedy
- Awkwafina, The Farewell
- Blanchett, Where'd You Go Bernadette?
- de Armas, Knives Out
- Feldstein, Booksmart
- Thompson, Late Night
It's just one man's opinion but I actually thought Dever was stronger than Feldstein in Booksmart. Nevertheless they're a duo so happy for Booksmart for this attention. Awkafina's to lose obviously, right?
Actor, Drama
- Bale, Ford V Ferrari
- Banderas, Pain & Glory
- Driver, Marriage Story
- Phoenix, Joker
- Pryce, The Two Popes
No De Niro is the biggest curveball that the Globes threw this morning but the Best Actor category IS a bloodbath this year with so many viable big star contenders.
Actor, Musical or Comedy
- Craig, Knives Out
- Davis, Jojo Rabbit
- DiCaprio, Once UPon a Time
- Egerton, Rocketman
- Murphy, Dolemite is My Name
The widely expected list.
Supporting Actor
- Tom Hanks, A Beautiful Day
- Anthony Hopkins, The Two Popes
- Al Pacino, The Irishman
- Joe Pesci, The Irishman
- Brad Pitt, Once Upon a Time
Two-thirds leads but what can you do? Lotta starpower there.
Supporting Actress
- Annette Bening, The Report
- Margot Robbie, Bombshell
- Jennifer Lopez, Hustlers
- Kathy Bates, Richard Jewell
- Laura Dern Marriage Story
One of the very few surprises this morning: Annette Bening! She's really terrific in the movie but The Report's profile had shrunk so much. Bates and Bening both weren't nominated at the Critics Choice this weekend so perhaps there's some wiggle room for candidates this year and Oscar might surprise?
Director
- Bong Joon Ho, Parasite
- Sam Mendes, 1917
- Todd Philips, Joker
- Martin Scorsese, The Irishman
- Quentin Tarantino, Once Upon a Time
Though we didn't predict him we did have expect that Philips would show up here. SHOCKING though that the Globes didn't opt for pitting happily coupled Baumbach (Marriage Story) & Gerwig (Little Women) against each other since they love the celebrity drama
Screenplay
- The Irishman
- Marriage Story
- Parasite
- The Two Popes
- Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Four campaigning as original with Oscars, plus The Irishman
Foreign Film
- The Farewell (US)
- Les Miserables (France)
- Pain and Glory (Spain)
- Parasite (South Korea)
- Portrait of a Lady on Fire (France)
Very high profile category this year. The msot the Globes ever match the Oscars in this category is 3/5 but it's usually closer to 2/5... Only 3 of these are eligible for the Oscars in the same category though (Les Mis, Pain, Parasite)
Score
- 1917
- Little Women
- Motherless Brooklyn
- Joker
- Marriage Story
Wish we'd spoken it loudly so as to be prophetic but we half expected that if Motherless Brooklyn showed up anywhere this season it would be in Best Score since it's so jazz-obsessed.
Songs
- "Beautiful Ghosts" - Cats
- "I'm Gonna Love Me Again" - Rocketman
- "Into the Unknown" - Frozen
- "Spirit" - The Lion King
- "Stand Up" - Harriet
Just as suspected. It all songs that will bring bonafide superstars into the live broadcast (even though they don't perform) plus a song from Frozen 2.
Animated Feature
- Frozen 2
- How to Train Your Dragon 3
- The Lion King
- Missing Link
- Toy Story 4
They went all blockbuster sequels/remakes plus Missing Link. No sense of adventure, HFPA. Come on!
