The nominations for the 83rd annual Golden Globes will be announced on Monday, kicking off Hollywood’s annual award season.
And because the Globes honor comedies or musicals and dramas separately (category distinctions that are often wildly debated post-nominations), a slew of films and television shows like the comedy “One Battle After Another,” the drama “Sinners,” the musical “Wicked: For Good” and the drama “Hamnet” are considered strong contenders for the top awards. Also on the short list are television shows like “The Pitt,” a drama, and “The Studio” and “Wednesday,” both comedies. A 334-member voting body of foreign journalists nominates work in 28 categories.
The comedian Nikki Glaser is returning as emcee after her debut appearance earlier this year earned strong reviews. The ceremony, which will be televised by CBS on Sunday, Jan. 11, will also stream on Paramount+ in the United States.
This year’s show will arrive as Hollywood is in the midst of a seismic reorganization, prompted by Netflix’s intent to purchase the studio and streaming assets of Warner Bros. Discovery. Directors, producers and theater groups are already expressing concern that Netflix will abandon Warner Bros.’ storied history of debuting films in theaters.
Illustrating Netflix’s sheer heft in the business, the streaming giant is likely to be nominated in many Golden Globes categories, most notably Best Comedy/Musical for the third edition of the “Knives Out” series, “Wake Up Dead Man,” and in the Best Animated Film category for “KPop Demon Hunters.”
In television, Netflix is likely to receive recognition in the Best TV Drama Actress category for Keri Russell’s work in “The Diplomat” and in the Best TV Comedy Actress category for Jenna Ortega in “Wednesday.”
Perhaps more significant, and a snapshot of why Warner Bros. was such an attractive acquisition target, is the number of films and television shows the company will have competing on Monday morning. In film, the studio is behind both “Sinners” and “One Battle After Another,” along with “Superman” in the cinematic and box office achievement category. And in television, Warner Bros. shows like “The Pitt,” “Task” and “Hacks” are also likely to dominate.
This year, there will be one notable change to the nominations. For the first time, the Golden Globes will honor the podcast industry with a Best Podcast award. Twenty-five podcasters are eligible for the nomination, including a few faces familiar with the Golden Globe stage like Amy Poehler (“Good Hang With Amy Poehler”) and Jason Bateman (“Smartless”). But the category may also welcome some strange bedfellows to Hollywood’s insular community like Ben Shapiro (“The Ben Shapiro Show”) and Joe Rogan (“The Joe Rogan Experience”). The New York Times’s “The Daily” is also eligible for nomination.
The Golden Globes will also include the Cinematic and Box Office achievement award for the third time, in its continued attempt to reward more populist movies and goose ratings by luring high-wattage celebrities to attend what they deem “Hollywood’s Party of the Year.” The first winner was “Barbie.” Last year, the first installment of “Wicked” won the prize.
