‘Avatar 2’ & ‘Top Gun 2’ Nominated for Best Picture, ‘Wednesday’ & ‘House Of The Dragon’ for Best Series: The 2023 Golden Globe Nominations

It’s almost that time again: On the night of January 10 to 11, 2023, the Golden Globes will be awarded for the 80th time. After all, the Globes and the responsible Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) received enormous criticism at the same time last year. More members and more diversity should make both the organization and the event more up-to-date – we will know by January at the latest whether the promised improvement has been achieved.

But now to the nominations themselves: At least this time there are some very big, popular titles. For example, both Avatar: The Way Of The Water and Top Gun: Maverick are nominated for Best Picture (Drama), while the current Netflix hit Wednesday can look forward to a nomination for Best Series (Musical or Musical Comedy).

Less surprising, however, is the nomination of “House Of The Dragon” for Best Drama Series, after all “Game Of Thrones” was nominated five times in this category (albeit without a win). The most nominations in the series included “The Crown”, “Dahmer – Monster”, “Only Murders In The Building” and “The White Lotus” with four nominations each. The sitcom “Abbott Elementary” is in contention for the most trophies (namely five).

Big winners in film nominations include Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans and Damien Chazelle’s Babylon (5 nominations each), the indie hit Everything Everywhere All At Once (6 nominations) and Michael McDonagh’s The Banshees Of Inisherin (8 nominations, the most ever).

By the way, this time there is a change in the Best Supporting Actor/Best Supporting Actress category. Instead of a general award for series, miniseries and TV movies, this category is split into series and miniseries/TV movies and each has a Best Supporting Actress award and a Best Supporting Actor award.
