82nd Golden Globes Nominations

The Golden Globes are not what they used to be but perhaps now they'll start to recuperate their reputation now that they're are back to prime TV as awards ceremony will be broadcasted by CBS and also by their streaming service, Paramount+. Unlike the Oscars, the Golden Globes used to be a very-funny televised show, quite dynamic with many unexpected (and very controversial) moments during the fun-to-watch no matter how long show. Let's hope this year show goes back to be the most entertaining awards show of the season.

As been mentioned in other posts I'm totally biased toward one of my very-favorite film director and yes I'm rooting for his film to win EVERYTHING!!! (LOL). No, seriously, Emilia Pérez is getting many honors from the new award owners (no longer are the Hollywood Foreign Press Association - now is Dick Clark Productions), as got 10 nominations, including two for masterfilmaker Jacques Audiard. Following are The Brutalist with 7, Conclave with 6, and with 5 each Anora and The Substance.

The nominations were announced by Mindy Kaling and Morris Chestnut and at the end of post is the video if you wish to check it. As organizers claim, a racially and ethnically diverse group of voters -made up of journalists representing countries from around the world- selects the nominees and winners.

With all the A-Stars that have a film and/or TV nomination the show could be blinded-by-the-stars presence event and the red carpet absolutely must-be-seen as guilty pleasure. Yes, those are the feelings that the Golden Globes awaken in me a few years back, before the scandal; now, I wonder if I would be able to enjoy show as much as I did in the past, especially when Ricky Gervais was the host with his hilarious black humor!

As previously announced, Viola Davis will receive the Cecil B. DeMille Award and Ted Danson the Carol Burnett Award, which recognizes TV excellence.

The Awards show is set to air live from the Beverly Hilton on Sunday, January 5, 2025 at 8 pm ET, which for me is around 2am (!) next Monday so wonder if will watch show live. Sigh. Nicki Glaser will host the show.
