Totally forgot these were happening today! The Golden Globe nominations came out this morning. The Globes are scheduled for Sunday, January 5th, on CBS. Last year’s Globes show was okay-ish, and it was supposed to be the newly revamped ceremony with new producers and all of that. They made sexist jokes about Barbie and handed out awards and it was, at best, just kind of boring. Anyway, if I include the TV nominations, this post will be a million pages long, so I’m just doing the film noms. You can see the full nomination list here at Variety. The major film nominations:

Can I just say? I love that Yura Borisov was nominated for Anora – Mikey Madison’s lead performance was outstanding, but Yura stole a lot of scenes from her and I actually have a crush on him now. He’s wonderful, and it’s a nice little gift to see him nominated. I think the Supporting Actor battle is actually between Denzel and Kieran Culkin. It’s also nice to see Conclave get so much love, I’ve been wondering if it peaked too early in the season and it will be forgotten by the time the Oscars roll around. But Conclave is great, and I love Isabella Rossellini’s nom and Ralph Fiennes’s nom. There are some surprises here – Sebastian Stan, all of the love for The Brutalist (which few people have seen), all the love for A Real Pain. Most of the noms were expected though – Angelina Jolie for Maria, Daniel Craig, Colman Domingo, Nicole Kidman, Pamela Anderson… they’re all getting a lot of awards-season heat.
