Here are the nominees for the 2022 Golden Globe Awards
Belfast, The Power Of The Dog, and Succession all made strong showings at this year's announcement
Aux News Golden Globe Awards
After a year in which the validity of the awards body itself was questioned, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is going forward with the 79th annual edition of the Golden Globe Awards. It does so without a television home for the 2022 ceremony, set to take place on January 9, 2022 in Los Angeles. Whether celebrities will still come out for what’s traditionally been a boozy, off-the-cuff evening without the lure of a live telecast remains to be seen.
But the sweeping reforms announced by the HFPA earlier this year—including 21 new members added to the formerly 84-member body—don’t seem to have affected this year’s slate of nominees all that much. Aside from a slight shift towards honoring more non-English language productions in television, where Netflix France’s Lupin and Netflix Korea’s Squid Game picked up a handful of nominations apiece, this year’s list of nominees is your usual star-studded, Hollywood-centric slate.
Snoop Dogg, at a point in his life where he gets up at 5 AM to do things and doesn’t stay up until 5 AM to do things, assisted HFPA president Helen Hoehne in making this morning’s announcement live from Los Angeles.
This year’s slate of Golden Globes nominees is below.

False headline. There’s no nominees listed yet.
With the exception of Spielberg winning Best Director, King Richard is going to sweep. HFPA loves a good hagiography.
I predict Campion takes Best Director and her film Best Picture. It ties for the most nominations after all.
I hope, it is some beautiful and very clever directing, left some big impressions.
Aren’t these the ones we don’t like because too many white guys?
I do not understand the love for The Morning Show. The first season was uneven, but entertaining. This season was just off-the-rails bad. I get that the Globes likes to nominate big stars to invite to their party, so the nod for Aniston makes sense. But they seem to genuinely like the show?No offense, Mark Duplass, but you’re sitting in Matthew Macfadyen’s seat.
I mean it’s almost like the GG wants famous people to show up on the telecast and help ratings…
Like I said, the Aniston nom makes sense from that perspective. But are Billy Crudup and Mark Duplass really drawing eyeballs?Also the ceremony isn’t even being telecast this year… so.
It’s the Apple thing here too I think. They see Apple as a sexy brand maybe? Of course the GG are notorious for being easy to manipulate with enough money….
There’s no telecast this year due to the protests against the HFPA.
No telecast. NBC is not airing because of the rampant racism within the HFP.
Is The Morning Show really that good? I haven’t seen it, but the general critical jist I’ve picked up regarding it is “vanity star project that’s OK and not much more.”
It is not good. Season 1 was mixed, but I’d say worth watching on the whole. Season 2 was insanely bad.
Yes, I think out of the nominees that MJ Rodriguez deserves the win, but at the same time I want Aniston to win just so she can put this show to bed…(although I think Aniston is a good actress, and I wish she was in a show that matched her talents)
The Steve Carrell scenes in The Morning Show, particularly the episode set in Las Vegas, are very riveting and far more compelling than most of the other Sorkin-esque Newsroom stuff going on in the show.
S1 Steve Carrell yes, S2 absolutely not. The Italy stuff was so bad.
The entire Steve Carell storyline in S2 was painful. The Morning Show was half decent in S1 but S2 was an enormous mess and the one big star-fucker Golden Globe stand out. It is NO WAY deserved any nominations this year. Hands up who was dying to see what happened to the sexual predator? I mean he’s just a misunderstood guy.. right? Urgh!
Vanity Star Project That’s OK and Not Much More = surefire Golden Globe winner
It does start out quite good, but I got tired of it towards the end of S1.
S1 – yes.S2 – no, no, no.
Not good.
The writing and plotlines are almost aggressively mediocre, but the cast are bringing their A-game for the most part. Billy Crudup is clearly having so much fun playing a slimy exec.
I still don’t get why they continue to keep musical and comedy as one category. Seems they’d either have both comedy/musical and drama/musical, or just separate all three and have it be best drama, best musical and best comedy. That Borat, La La Land, The Martian and Les Misérables all won in the same category doesn’t make sense.
I think best horror/musical would make more sense.
Power of the Dog is the best movie so far of the year imo. Dunst and Cumberbatch were both incredible, and it had so many layers around the concept of toxic masculinity, and the power and dualism of queerdom in regards to the violence of masculinity. Watching the light leave Dunst’s eyes was masterclass, and Campion’s directing haunted me!
The Power of the Dog is really great and has a ton of depth that you really want to dig through over multiple viewings, and I instantly wanted to watch it all over again once I got to the end. Then I saw West Side Story last night and my reaction similarly was that I wanted to just watch it all over again but for just different reasons. That movie was just magic and just visually jawdropping, and I really just wanted to experience that joy and excitement again. Hard to compare the two, but each one was just a marvel to watch.
The Power of the Dog left me feeling uneasy the next day after so good job on rewatching it. and wow, that has me pumped for West Side Story!
Yup, that first watch of Dog was a tough one, but there was a little less dread on second viewing! I’m curious about how I’ll react to a second viewing of WSS since that excitement is hard to replicate, but I’m very eager to revisit it, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. Even from just a technical standpoint, I think those YouTube channels like “Every Frame A Painting” can crank out multiple episodes to cover this movie. It’s really gorgeous, lots of frameable frames, and just incredible and dynamic set pieces. I feel like a lot of scenes from the movie will easily earn a spot on those Oscars montages alongside the “Shall We Dance?” scene in the The King and I, “America” from the 1961 West Side Story, and other iconic scenes.
Truly a great year for musicals on the big screen; I’m already mourning the awards prospects of In the Heights, which had the misfortune of coming out too early in the year. At least Ramos was nominated here, though. I also adored tick, tick… BOOM! and Garfield’s amazing work in it.
Power of the Dog is definitely my favorite movie of the year and it get’s even more rich on second viewing. One thing I found odd though, is after I watched it the first time, I checked out reviews and articles about it and I was bit shocked how many writers didn’t understand what happened on their first viewing. Some articles even dinged it for not being able to understand the plot until a second viewing. I don’t want to post any spoilers because it hasn’t been out that long, but I thought the basics of the plot were quite obvious.And yes, Cumberbatch and Dunst were both incredible but Smit-McPhee also absolutely knocked it out of the park.
Yes, I saw so many headlines about “what happened at the end?” which was very obvious. I think the film subverted audience expectations, I watched with some people who have some more traditional views around masculinity, and they didn’t see the ending coming but they knew what happened lol.And yes, bravo to Smit-McPhee as well.
Does the dog die, though? It seems like the goddamned dog always dies in these movies
only a lot of rabbits die!
so because of their problematic past you can be pretty sure Van Morrison is polishing his trophy case. He’ll have Eric Clapton show up and they’ll do a dream ballet where they battle a giant mask, finish with “Go Brexit” and then insist they’re not racist BUT and that they’ve done the research
His stupidity not withstanding, I’m honestly kind of baffled that a movie that’s wall-to-wall identical-sounding Van Morrison songs managed to have one stand out enough for them to notice.
I personally have difficulty telling “brown-eyed girl” from “two-armed girl” “gravity-obeying girl” and “biped girl”
Glad to see love for Ruth Negga, Licorice Pizza and Dune.
Only ONE nomination for The White Lotus? That’s surprising. Although Jennifer Coolidge was fantastic along with everyone else.
No one really cares. Artistic awards are pretty lame and the Globes, especially, is just a lot of insider politic-wanking.
Paulina Alexis was robbed.
How did Mathew Macfadyen didn’t get nominated? I don’t know if to blame it on the merging of comedy and drama into a single supporting category, but even with that I thought Macfadyen was a lock!
Ewan McGregor, HalstedUh… Who’s “Halsted?”
Kim Joo-ryoung should have received a nomination for Squid Game.
Ya! Let’s see what the racists at the HFP like.

Guillermo Del Toro’s Nightmare Alley got snubbed! A favorite to be nominated too. This was a surprise but maybe it didn’t make the schedule date to qualify? I’m sure it will get Oscar nominations.
Good to see science fiction nominated with DUNE!

Nothing for the Midnight Mass guy?
Hamish Linklater. YOU ARE SO RIGHT.
Damn it, Sony. The Mitchells vs. the Machines deserves to be in that animated race!
Not that I think the Golden Globes matter more than a gnat’s fart in a hurricane, but yeah, kinda weird to not see The Mitchells vs. the Machines nominated, and somewhat disappointing to see Raya and the Last Dragon get the second Disney/Pixar slot over Luca.
Too late to edit my comment, but I’ve seen multiple other sources list Luca as being among the nominees as well, so it looks like the AV Club just left it out of their list.I’m beginning to think I shouldn’t rely on the AV Club for animation-related news.
True. It’s more that if you want to challenge the Mouse, you got to press the court early and often, the way they did with Spider-Verse’s push for the same award, especially when the film you’re pushing was released way back in the summer to remind people “hey, this thing you loved? It was released in 2021.” Encanto to me has enough wobbly parts that it’s not a guaranteed Disney/Pixar win, and while Luca was terrific, Mitchells vs. The Machines made me laugh so much with it’s inventiveness and call backs and different visual styles. “Behold, cinema!” indeed.
Some of these nominees don’t deserve to be on the list. Lupin? For real? The Morning Show? Kidding, right?
Wait — is Handmaid’s Tale still on?!? I gave up when it became the television equivalent of torture-porn (i.e., about two episodes into season 2)… did it get better again?
Spoiler: she finally made it out. Season 3 was rouuuuuugh, but the latest season shows they’re starting to head in a better direction. Although they may turn June into Batman.
Am i not the only person thinking thay many of these noms are pretty weird this year?
