The Golden Globes are viewed as the kick-off to awards season and can, at times, be a good predictor of how things will play out at the Oscars. Those who kept their fingers crossed for ‘Black Panther’ may be happy that the Marvel superhero flick managed to score a nomination for Best Motion Picture – Drama, but that was essentially it. It got no recognition in the acting, directing or writing categories and the Golden Globes don’t break things down into more technical arenas. Ludwig Göransson did earn a nomination for Best Score and the single ‘All of the Stars’ by Kendrick Lamar ft. SZA is up for Best Song.
Early contender, ‘A Quiet Place’ was almost completely snubbed, although star Emily Blunt scored with her year-end crowd-pleaser ‘Mary Poppins Returns’. The film is nominated for Best Picture – Musical or Comedy, Blunt was nominated for Best Actress, and her costar Lin-Manuel Miranda was nominated for Best Actor, while Marc Shaiman was nominated for Best Score. ‘A Quiet Place”s sole nod came in the same category, for Marco Beltrami.
Genre titles predictably dominated the Animated Film list, with ‘Incredibles 2’, ‘Isle of Dogs’, Japanese anime import, ‘Mirai’, ‘Ralph Breaks the Internet’ and ‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’ slugging it out. Even though ‘Into the Spider-Verse’ hasn’t yet been released in theaters, its excellent buzz may give it an edge– it has a 100% ranking on Rotten Tomatoes. If it wins, it will not only be the first superhero movie to win this award, but if ‘Black Panther’ also wins, it could be a real coup for comic book movies.
The Golden Globes honor both films and television, but genre projects didn’t rank in the latter. It would not be surprising if ‘The Americans’ sweeps for its final season. ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ earned recognition for Elisabeth Moss and Yvonne Strahovski for acting.
