This morning the Hollywood Foreign Press Association revealed the nominees for the 2022 Golden Globes. But…does it matter? I’ll be honest, I’m sorta grappling with this a little bit. The Globes telecast will not be airing this year, as NBC has suspended it due to the voting body’s many indiscretions. And so I’m left to wonder why or if anybody gives two shits about these awards if nobody will be watching them be handed out except maybe in Youtube clips?
But anyway, for the sake of continuity let’s just go ahead and list the nominees below. Honestly, not a lot of surprises, but I’m happy to see CODA in the Best Picture Drama category, and Licorice Pizza in there for Best Picture Comedy or Musical, along with Cooper Hoffman and Alana Haim in Best Actor categories.
The Golden Globes winners will be announced on January 9th, although it’s unclear in what form those announcements will take.
