Expect a starry field of actors as nominations to the 82nd Golden Globes are being announced Monday morning.
The nominations are being announced Monday by Mindy Kaling and Morris Chestnut beginning at 8:15 a.m. EST on the CBS News website, CBS’ YouTube channel and the CBS News Mobile App. At 8:30 a.m. EST, 10 categories will be unveiled on “CBS Mornings” on CBS.
The Globes themselves will be held Sunday, Jan. 5, with comedian Nikki Glaser hosting. CBS, which began airing the Globes last year on a new deal, will hope Glaser manages to do better than last year’s emcee, Jo Koy, whose stint was widely panned.
Here’s details from the nominations:
Who are this year’s Globes nominees?
The nominees for best male actor in a motion picture musical or comedy are: Jesse Eisenberg, “A Real Pain”; Hugh Grant, “Heretic”; Gabriel LaBelle, “Saturday Night; Jesse Plemons, “Kinds of Kindness”’ Glen Powell, “Hitman”; Sebastian Stan, “A Different Man.”
The nominees for best male actor in a drama series are: Donald Glover, “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” Jake Gyllenhaal, “Presumed Innocent”; Gary Oldman, “Slow Horses”; Eddie Redmayne, “The Day of the Jackal”; Hiroyuki Sanada, “Shogun”; Billy Bob Thornton, “Landman.”
The nominees for female actor in a comedy series are: Kristen Bell, “Nobody wants This”; Quinta Brunson, “Abbott Elementary”; Ayo Edebiri, “The Bear”; Selena Gomez, “Only Murders in the Building”; Kathryn Hahn, “Agatha All Along”; Jean Smart, “Hacks.”
The nominees for best animated film are: “Flow”; “Inside Out 2″; “Memoir of a Snail”; “Moana 2″; “Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl”; “The Wild Robot.”
The nominees for best original score: “Conclave”; “The Brutalist”; “The Wild Robot”; “Emilia Pérez”; “Challengers”; “Dune: Part Two.”
How big will “˜Wicked’ be?
Jon M. Chu’s “Wicked” sails in with the momentum of hundreds of millions in box office. Though last year’s awards season was dominated by “Oppenheimer” and featured “Barbie,” this year “Wicked” is looking like the most populist contender. Expect nominations for Grande and Cynthia Erivo.
Will the Trump film “˜The Apprentice’ be nominated?
It will be interesting to see whether “The Apprentice,” starring Sebastian Stan as a young Donald Trump, scores any nominations. The film fell flat with audiences (and with the president elect) but acclaim has been widespread for both Stan’s performance and Jeremy Strong’s turn as Roy Cohn.
Is there a frontrunner?
Because the Globes split top awards between drama and musical/comedy, there isn’t always a clear read on the top Oscar contenders. That’s especially true this year, where no one film has yet emerged as the favorite. In the mix are “Conclave,””Anora,””Emilia Perez,””The Brutalist” and “Wicked.”
What’s new this year?
Last year, the Globes introduced two new categories that remain this time around: the cinematic and box office achievement award and the best performance in stand-up comedy on television. One tweak this time comes in the lifetime achievement awards. This year, those are going to Ted Danson (for the Carol Burnett Award) and Viola Davis (for the Cecil B. DeMille Award). Those will be handed out in a gala dinner on Friday, Jan. 3, several days before the Globes.
How about the TV categories?
Expect a boatload of nominations for both “The Bear” and “Only Murders in the Building.” (Gomez could be a two-time nominee, for both “Only Murders” and “Emilia Perez.”) Other series that could see strong showings include “Shogun,” “Slow Horses,” “Hacks” and “Baby Reindeer.”
What’s the deal with the Golden Globes, anyway?
The Globes aren’t ever quite drama-free, but things have settled down for the embattled awards body. Last year’s Globes were the first after the disbanding of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and their acquisition by Dick Clark Productions and billionaire Todd Boehly’s private equity firm Eldridge Industries. However, earlier this fall, the Ankler reported that former members of the HFPA filed a letter with the California Attorney General’s office questioning “the validity of the purchase.”
