Jordan Moreau The 2024 awards season officially kicks off with the 81st annual Golden Globes, honoring the best films and TV shows from last year.
It was the year of “Barbenheimer,” as Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie’s hot pink comedy “Barbie” led all the nominees with 10 and “Oppenheimer,” Christopher Nolan and Cillian Murphy’s biopic about the inventor of the atomic bomb, followed closely with eight.
The two movies, which were released on the same weekend last summer, became an intertwined phenomenon in pop culture, the box office and the awards circuit. “Barbie” is competing for best comedy or musical against “Air,” “American Fiction,” “Poor Things,” “May December” and “The Holdovers.” On the other end, “Oppenheimer” battles “Killers of the Flower Moon,” “Maestro,” “Anatomy of a Fall,” “The Zone of Interest” and “Past Lives” in the drama race.
On the TV side, the final season of HBO’s “Succession” leads all shows with nine nominations, followed by FX’s “The Bear” and Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building.” In addition to “Succession,” the best TV drama race includes “1923,” “The Crown,” “The Diplomat,” “The Last of Us” and “The Morning Show.” “The Bear” and “Only Murders in the Building” compete for best comedy against “Abbott Elementary,” “Barry,” “Jury Duty” and “Ted Lasso.” See the winners below, as they’re announced during the telecast.
