Hollywood stars are gearing up for the Golden Globe Awards, after a huge year for cinema which saw Barbie and Oppenheimer dominate the box office.
Killers of the Flower Moon, Poor Things and Past Lives are among the other nominees at the ceremony, which takes place in Los Angeles.
Succession, The Crown and The Last of Us are nominated in the TV categories.
The Globes mark the first major ceremony of film awards season, which culminates with the Oscars on 10 March.
There are some new categories at this year’s Golden Globes, including one which recognises box office achievement.
The main nominees:
9 nominations – Barbie
8 – Oppenheimer
7 – Killers of the Flower Moon
7 – Poor Things
5 – Past Lives
4 – May December
4 – Anatomy of a Fall
4 – Maestro
Emma Stone, Sandra Hüller, Lily Gladstone and Carey Mulligan are among the nominees in the two best actress categories – which are split by drama and musical or comedy.
Paul Giamatti, Jeffrey Wright, Leonardo DiCaprio and Bradley Cooper are recognised across the two best actor categories.
The Color Purple is nominated for best musical or comedy film, while star Danielle Brooks is up for best supporting actress
Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo, are nominated for Poor Things
Barbie, Greta Gerwig’s big screen adaptation of life in plastic, leads the charge at the Globes with nine nominations.
However, three of these nominations are in the same category. Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa and Ryan Gosling all have nods for the songs they contribute to the film’s soundtrack.
Who is hosting the Golden Globes?
This year’s ceremony will be hosted by US comedian and actor Jo Koy.
Although not a huge name in the UK, the 52-year-old has previously fronted specials for Comedy Central and Netflix. His acting credits include Haunted Mansion and Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens.
In a statement, Koy said: “I’ve stepped onto a lot of stages around the world in my career, but this one is going to be extra special.
“I’m so excited to be hosting… This is that moment where I get to make my Filipino family proud.
Eight of the year’s highest-earning, most acclaimed or most watched films are nominated in the new cinematic and box office achievement category.
This is partly an attempt to make sure box office smashes like Barbie and Oppenheimer are recognised, but it’s also a way for the Globes to bring in different types of movies and invite more celebrities to the ceremony.
Taylor Swift is nominated for her concert film The Eras Tour. Mainstream films which don’t generally show up during awards season are also recognised, with nominations for the latest John Wick, Mission: Impossible and Guardians of the Galaxy movies.
The organisation which was behind the Golden Globes, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), caused controversy in 2021 due to allegations of corruption and a lack of diversity within its voting body.
The 2022 ceremony was dramatically pared down as the Globes got their house in order. The number of members on the voting body rose from around 90 to 300 over the following three years and is now significantly more diverse.
Taking place in the first week of January, celebrity guests are usually in a good mood, fresh from their Christmas break, and ready to mingle over a few drinks.
In contrast, the Bafta Film Awards and the Oscars are much more formal events – and the prizes more prestigious.
But a win at the Golden Globes can add significant momentum to an awards campaign, with the recipients given the opportunity to deliver a rousing acceptance speech on TV at a time when Oscar voters are considering their own nominations.
There is a much higher chance of a Golden Globe nomination than an Oscar nod. There are 20 slots available in the film acting categories in total at the Academy Awards, compared with 36 at the Globes.
