Whether Hollywood likes it or not, the Golden Globes are back, and dark comedy “The Banshees of Inisherin” leads the field with eight nominations in the first major party of this Oscar season.
Hosted by comedian Jerrod Carmichael, the 80th Golden Globe Awards marks a return to prominence for the glitzy event after a year of controversy fueled by representation struggles within the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Questions still remain about who will attend and if the Globes still matter, but nominations announced Monday make it clear the show must go on.
The Tom Cruise blockbuster sequel “Top Gun: Maverick” – named the top film of 2022 by the National Board of Review last week – scored a nomination in the best drama category, which also includes James Cameron’s long-awaited sci-fi follow-up “Avatar: The Way of Water,” Steven Spielberg’s semi-autobiographical “The Fabelmans,” rock biopic “Elvis” and the classical music drama “Tár.”

“Banshees” is up for best comedy/musical alongside genre-smashing surprise hit “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” lavish Hollywood period film “Babylon,” murder mystery sequel “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” and satire “Triangle of Sadness.”
Brendan Fraser earned a ton of film-festival accolades for “The Whale” and snagged a nomination for best actor in a drama along with Jeremy Pope (“The Inspection”), Austin Butler (“Elvis”), Bill Nighy (“Living”) and Hugh Jackman (“The Son”). (Fraser has said he won’t attend and alleges then-HFPA President Philip Berk assaulted him in 2003.) And the contingent for best actor in a comedy/musical features Colin Farrell (“Banshees of Inisherin”), Daniel Craig (“Glass Onion”), Diego Calva (“Babylon”), Ralph Fiennes (“The Menu”) and Adam Driver (“White Noise”).

“Everything Everywhere” star Michelle Yeoh is a favorite for best actress in a comedy/musical, and she will face Margot Robbie (“Babylon”), Emma Thompson (“Good Luck to You, Leo Grande”), Lesley Manville (“Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris”) and Anya Taylor-Joy (“The Menu”). Cate Blanchett (“Tár”) heads up the drama actress category, which also includes Michelle Williams (“The Fabelmans”), Viola Davis (“The Woman King”), Ana De Armas (“Blonde”) and Olivia Colman (“Empire of Light”).
Following widespread criticisms about the HFPA’s lack of diversity, this year’s Golden Globes did better in terms of nominations: At least one person of color is nominated in every film acting category, though they did not do as well in the TV field.
Also, no women are represented in best director, which was won the past two years by female filmmakers (Chloe Zhao for “Nomadland,” followed by Jane Campion for “The Power of the Dog”). Director Sarah Polley was shut out for her acclaimed drama “Women Talking” but did receive a Globes nod for best screenplay.
The 80th Golden Globe Awards air live on Jan. 10 (NBC and Peacock, 8 p.m. EST/5 PST).
