"Belfast," set in 1970s Northern Ireland, and
director Jane Campion's Western "The Power of the Dog" got seven
nods each. They were followed by global-warming satire "Don't
Look Up"; "King Richard," about the father of tennis champions
Venus and Serena Williams; director Steven Spielberg's new
version of the classic musical "West Side Story" and
coming-of-age tale "Licorice Pizza" with four each.
Netflix movies received a leading 17 nominations.
The winners of the Golden Globes will be announced on Jan. 9,
but the ceremony's format is unclear after broadcaster NBC
earlier this year dropped plans to televise the glitzy awards
dinner in Beverly Hills following criticism of the Hollywood
Foreign Press Association (HFPA), the group that votes on them.
Monday's nominations were met mostly with silence from movie
studios and actors who normally flood social media and reporters
with thanks and reactions.
Jessica Chastain, one of the few actors who responded publicly,
said she was thankful her work in "The Eyes of Tammy Faye" and
"Scenes from a Marriage" was recognized.
"Congrats to all of the nominees for this year’s #GoldenGlobes,"
Chastain wrote on Twitter.
It is unclear whether any of the nominees will attend the 2022
ceremony, which had been one of Hollywood's biggest awards shows
in the run-up to the Oscars.
Rapper and actor Snoop Dogg was the only celebrity on hand on
Monday to announce the nominations.
Critics objected to the Foreign Press Association having no
Black members, and raised longstanding ethical questions over
whether close relationships with Hollywood studios influenced
the choice of nominees and winners. Tom Cruise in May returned
the three Golden Globe statuettes that he has won.
The HFPA has since added 21 new members, six of whom are Black;
banned gifts and favors; and implemented diversity and sexual
harassment training. The group now has 105 members total.
Despite these moves, major film and TV studios have tried to
distance themselves from the Globes.
"Belfast," "The Power of the Dog," deaf community movie "Coda,"
sci-fi epic "Dune" and "King Richard" all received nods for best
movie drama.
A musical take on the classic "Cyrano" and an adaptation of the
Off-Broadway hit "Tick, Tick... Boom" will compete with "Don't
Look Up," "Licorice Pizza" and "West Side Story" for best
musical or comedy.
Lady Gaga ("House of Gucci"), Nicole Kidman ("Being the Ricardos"),
Will Smith ("King Richard"), Kristen Stewart ("Spencer") and
Denzel Washington ("The Tragedy of Macbeth") were among the
actors nominated for best drama movie performances.
In television, drama "Succession," about a squabbling family
media conglomerate, received a leading five nominations. Star
Brian Cox, nominated for his role as patriarch Logan Roy, told
The Hollywood Reporter he believed the HFPA had changed for the
better over the past 20 years and had added "a lot of amazing
female journalists."
"If you’re honored, you’ve got to respond by saying 'thank
you,'" he said.
The HFPA said it had made this year's choices by watching films
in movie theaters, at screenings and via streaming in what it
called "a fair and equitable voting process."
"While the Golden Globes will not be televised in January 2022,
we will continue our 78-year tradition," it said in a letter
released ahead of the nominations. "The last eight months have
been difficult, but we are proud of the changes we have achieved
so far."
