Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor The Golden Globes have plenty of movies to sift through and consider for its upcoming 81st annual awards ceremony. With “Killers of the Flower Moon” and “Maestro” on the drama side, and “The Color Purple” and “Poor Things” in comedy, alongside the buzzy summer double-feature “Barbenheimer,” a star-studded event is surely awaiting viewers.
The Globes have entered a new era with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association now disbanded, with many of its problematic members expelled, the annual awards season staple has traditionally been second to the Oscars in terms of TV ratings. Under new leadership, the group is looking to reclaim its glory days of fun and memorable affairs.
Read: Variety’s Awards Circuit for the latest Oscars predictions in all categories. One of the most impactful changes is the expansion of films and performances that will be recognized. According to the eligibility and rules guide, each of the categories will have six nominees, an increase from five, except for one of the two newly created categories, best cinematic and box office achievement category (for movies that have grossed more than $150 million, with at least $100 million in the U.S.), which will name eight.
In the drama races, movies helmed by some of cinema’s most beloved masters are likely to square off: Christopher Nolan for “Oppenheimer” and Martin Scorsese for “Killers of the Flower Moon,” who will also be among the favorites for best director. The 300+ membership will also have the chance to embrace timely films surrounding lost love (Celine Song’s “Past Lives”) and racial relations (Ava DuVernay’s “Origin”).
