The Globes won’t have to worry about anyone criticizing its “all male” directors this year, however. Gerwig was nominated as was Celine Song, for her romantic debut Past Lives, alongside Nolan, Scorsese, Cooper and Lanthimos.
Netflix got the most nominations overall, with 13 total for a slate which included Maestro, May December and Rustin, followed by Warner Bros., which made Barbie and The Color Purple with 12.
Ridley Scott’s Napoleon was not nominated at all. Instead, its star Joaquin Phoenix was recognized for Beau Is Afraid in the lead actor comedy/musical category, with Wright, Matt Damon (Air), Nicolas Cage (Dream Scenario), Timothée Chalamet (Wonka) and Paul Giamatti (The Holdovers). Michael Mann’s Ferrari, with Adam Driver, and Wes Anderson’s starry Asteroid City also got zero nominations.
The voting body has now grown to 300 members, following backlash to a 2021 report in the Los Angeles Times that found that there were zero Black members in the group that was then composed of only 87 foreign journalists.
Perhaps as a result, there were more international films and actors nominated in prominent categories including the Finnish comedy Fallen Leaves, the courtroom thriller Anatomy of a Fall and the harrowing Auschwitz drama The Zone of Interest.
