One Battle After Another proved it was winning one of its own hardships as it was announced today that the Paul Thomas Anderson black comedy-thriller was this year’s most lauded title at the Golden Globe Awards. With nods for its director, lead actor (Leonardo DiCaprio), actress (Chase Infiniti) and supporting players (Benicio Del Toro and Sean Penn in Supporting Actor and Teyana Taylor in Supporting Actress), the film locked nine nominations – the most for any this year. Sentimental Value was close behind with eight nods, whilst Sinners earned seven.
Australia’s own Jacob Elordi has two reasons to personally celebrate as his performances in both the film Frankenstein and the series The Narrow Road to the Deep North earned recognition, as did Amanda Seyfried, earning a Best Actress in a Musical/Comedy nomination for The Testament of Ann Lee and a Limited Series, Anthology Series or Motion Picture Made for Television nod for Long Bright River. Rose Byrne was another Australian whose Oscar chances have greatly increased with a Best Actress look in for her striking turn in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, whilst there’s now renewed interest in Dwayne Johnson‘s Oscar chances following his Best Actor nomination for The Smashing Machine, seemingly proving that a weak box office doesn’t always equate to award season shut-outs.
On the television front, The White Lotus and Adolescence led the charge, with, respectively, six and five nominations a piece, whilst the expected acclaim for Only Murders in the Building continued, with the comedy series nabbing four.
Always considered the more “party” award show of the season, the Globes this year have included podcaster recognition in their line-up, with the likes of Dax Shepard (“Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard”) and Amy Poehler (“Good Hang with Amy Poehler”) among the nominees, and best cinematic or box office achievement to reflect more commercial and less arthouse tastes. Its nominees are somewhat questionable as, aside from the undeniable successes as F1, Sinners, Weapons, Wicked: For Good, and Zootopia 2, it’s nominated the yet-to-be-screened-for-the-general-public Avatar: Fire & Ash, K-Pop: Demon Hunter, which was a streaming success for Netflix, but barely played in theaters (though it certainly is something of a counterpoint to the recent Netflix/WB acquisition, as the theatres it did play in proved massively successful, and Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, which couldn’t escape the “technical flop” chatter over its budget and monetary haul.
