The film The Banshees of Inisherin topped the Golden Globes nominations on Monday as they seek redemption after scandals of racism, sexism and corruption destroyed their prestige. This tragicomedy, which depicts the abrupt end of a friendship on a small Irish island in the 1920s, will compete in eight categories – a first for twenty years – including that of the best comedy of the year (which surprises a little considering the dramatic tone of the film, but be it). Its lead actor, Colin Farrell (who won the best actor award at Venice for the same role), and its director, Martin McDonagh, also have a chance to win a statuette. Even if opposite, others are favorites. With six nominations, the superb Everything Everywhere All At Once, where Michelle Yeoh portrays a mother washed out by paperwork and daily hassles, suddenly immersed in parallel universes, will be a serious contender. The new Damien Chazelle in the XXL cast, Babylon, on the golden age of Hollywood and the very intimate The Fabelmans by Steven Spielberg were hailed by five nominations each. But more than the nominees, it is the attitude of the Hollywood gratin towards the Golden Globes which will be the subject of all attention, for this 80th ceremony. Because these awards, which open the season of film awards in the United States and are traditionally the most followed after the Oscars, have lost much of their luster due to multiple scandals. In less than 24 hours, the descent into hell of the Golden GlobesÀ see also on KonbiniSilenceThe Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which constitutes their jury, has been in turmoil since revelations in early 2021 accusing its members of racism, sexism and corruption. All of Hollywood shunned the last ceremony in January. The Golden Globes were then awarded without an audience or television, and only announced on Twitter. But after carefully promoted reforms, the HFPA hopes to get out of the rut. Its historic partner, the NBC channel, has agreed to rebroadcast the 2023 ceremony. It remains to be seen whether the nominated stars are ready to dub this comeback: very few of them reacted publicly on Monday. On social networks, several accounts promoting the films in the running, however, broke the silence and congratulated the members of their team selected for the Golden Globes. Brendan Fraser, had warned in advance that he would boycott the ceremony. The latter, who accuses former HFPA president Philip Berk, (recently expelled after calling Black Lives Matter a “hateful racist movement”) of sexually assaulting him in 2003, recently told GQ: “It’s is because of the history I have with them. And my mother didn’t raise me as a hypocrite.” On Monday, another protester, Tom Cruise, who had returned his three Golden Globes, was snubbed by the HFPA in his nominations, despite his performance in Top Gun: Maverick, which was a hit at the box office. Not that it’s an award-winning performance, but the parallel between Cruise’s acting and this non-nomination seems pretty obvious. The film was nominated in two categories, however, as was another blockbuster, Avatar. : the way of the water. Elvis, Baz Luhrmann’s extravagant biopic on the life of the king of rock’n’roll Elvis Presley, garnered three nominations. women and people from ethnic minorities. The association has also banned its members from accepting luxurious gifts and all-expenses-paid hotel stays from studios courting their voices — which has been the case in the past, and has drawn much backlash stormy following the revelation of these behaviors. Its president Helen Hoehne recently assured the Hollywood Reporter: “It really is not the old HFPA anymore.” But in Hollywood, some remain skeptical. In July, the HFPA, which is a non-profit association, announced that it would hand over the organization of the Golden Globes to a company created by American billionaire Todd Boehly. The terms of the agreement provide for the payment of an annual salary to HFPA members. fueling the diversity case at the Golden Globes: no women were nominated for Best Director — while Women Talking, nominated for Best Screenplay and Best Music, is directed by Sarah Polley and was a name to be taken seriously. On the other side of the camera, Cate Blanchett was nominated for her role as a ruthless bandleader in Tàr, notably opposite Viola Davis, a warrior from an East African tribe. West in The Woman King.

They face the last Park Chan-wook, Decision to Leave, the Netflix film In the West, nothing new and the Argentine film released on Prime, Argentina, 1985. If we take a closer look, two other categories go be tight: on the one hand for animation where, for once, Pixar is not necessarily the favorite since Red Alert will face Del Toro’s Pinocchio, Inu-Oh, the film A24 Marcel the Shell with Shoes On . On the other side, on the soundtrack side, John Williams and the music for the last Spielberg will compete with the crazy score of Justin Hurwitz for Babylon, and the Frenchman Alexandre Desplat, regular of the awards, for Pinocchio. surprising, note Angela Bassett, the matriarch of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, nominated for best actress in a dramatic supporting role, or Wednesday in best comedy series (Jenna Ortega is also nominated in the category best actress in a comedy series) On the series side, the comedy Abbott Elementary dominates with five nominations, followed closely by the saga of Netflix on the British monarchy The Crown, with four mentions, like White Lotus.
