Congrats: The 2022 Golden Globes nominations were announced on Monday with western Power Of The Dog leading the pack with seven nominations, including a Best Actor nod for Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays ranch owner Phil BurbanK
Snoop Dogg began to read out nominees. This caused a chuckle from the audience as he incorrectly pronounced Ben Affleck’s last name.
The Power Of The Dog will be up against Belfast CODA, Dune, King Richard and King Richard in Drama. It also received nominations for Best Screenplay, Score and Best Supporting Actor awards.
Benedict staring with Kirsten Danst, Jesse Plemons, and Kodi Smith-McPhee, in the Netflix Western. A Montana rancher, in the 1920s. He seems determined to terrorize his brother-in-law from an earlier relationship.
The actor will take on Mahershala Ali (Swan Song), Javier Bardem (Being the Ricardos), Will Smith (King Richard) and Denzel Washington (The Tragedy of Macbeth) in the Best Actor – Drama category.
Meanwhile, Belfast – directed by Kenneth Branagh – is a semi-autobiographical film inspired by the BAFTA winner’s early childhood growing up in Northern Ireland surrounded by a large extended family.
This documentary is described as “chronicling a family’s life and the early years of their child during the trouble in Belfast in the 1960s.
Controversial: Kristen Stewart received a Best Actress nomination for her controversial role as Princess Diana in Spencer and will go up against Lady Gaga who also faced backlash for her role as Patrizia Reggiani in House of Gucci
Jamie Dornan and Catriona Balfe star in the film, and earned themselves nominations in the Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress in a Drama category, while Kenneth is up for Best Director.
Best Director for a Motion Picture will be between Kenneth, The Power of the Dog’s Jane Campion, Maggie Gyllenhaal for the Lost Daughter, Denis Villenevue for Dune and West Side Story’s Steven Spielberg.
Kristen and Gaga received Best Actress nominations for Spencer and House Of Gucci. However, neither of their films was nominated.
Spencer takes place during the breakup of the 15-year, high-profile marriage of Princess Diana to Prince Charles. This took place on three days in the House of Windsor’s Sandringham estate in Norfolk in 1991.
The film received mostly positive reviews. However, royal experts called it ‘cruel” and ‘unnecessarily gratuiteous’. They claimed that the movie stripped the princess of her respect and dignity.
Gaga also came under fire for her role as Patrizia Reggiani in House Of Gucci which follows the family’s scandal when Patrizia ordered a hit on fashion heir ex Maurizio Gucci, played by Adam Driver.
The Gucci family were not pleased with the film, saying in a statement that the portrayal ‘couldn’t be further from the truth’ and that they take issue with how members were painted ‘as thugs, ignorant and insensitive to the world around them.’
One to watch: Belfast – directed by Kenneth Branagh – is a semi-autobiographical film inspired by the BAFTA winner’s early childhood growing up in Northern Ireland and scored seven nominations (pictured: Caitriona Balfe and Jamie Dornan)

As the nominations were announced Snoop Dogg put his own unique spin on the pronunciation of acclaimed actors’ names.
The legendary musician of 50 raised a laugh from the audience as he revealed Ben Affleck was a nominee for Best Supporting actor in The Tender bar – though he called him ‘Been Afflay’.
Confronting his mistakes, he laughed at himself and apologized for it Ben Affleck.
The blunders didn’t stop there as Snoop notably paused before announcing Ciarán Hinds’ nomination in the same category for Belfast, saying ‘Ca-ron, no sorry, Karen Hinds, work with me now!’
Sweat star Denis Villeneuve was then praised by fans for naming him Best Director Motion Picture nominee Denis Villain Uawver.
Nominations for the Awards were submitted after stars and sponsors had expressed major opposition to them.
NBC announced in May it wouldn’t air the 2022 Golden Globe Awards in January. Criticism of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association was so strong that Tom Cruise returned all three awards.
Star won the Best Actor Golden Globes award for Jerry Maguire’s role in Magnolia, 1990.
Good luck: Also bagging four nominations were King Richard, in which Will Smith plays the father of Venus and Serena Williams and has been nominated for Best Actor
Scarlett Johansson and Mark Ruffalo also called for a boycott of the Golden Globes. Scarlett said she was subject to sexist remarks and questions from certain HFPA members, which bordered upon sexual harassment.
The actress released the following statement: “As an actor, it is normal to attend press conferences and awards shows in order to promote a movie.
“In the past, it meant being confronted with sexist comments and questions by certain HFPA member that were bordering on sexual harassment. That is why I have refused to take part in their conferences for years.
She said, “Unless there are necessary fundamental reforms within the organization,” and she continued: “I believe it’s time to take a look back at the HFPA in order to focus on the strength and importance of unity within our industry and unions.”
Leading the pack: Succession was the most nominated TV series with five mentions, with The Morning Show and Ted Lasso not far behind on four
After it became clear that 90 of the HFPA members were not black, they came under attack.
The HFPA has nominated nine individuals of color in the acting and directing categories amid the blazestorm – exactly the same amount as the 2021 Awards.
The Golden Globes’ history of ignoring black- or minority-led movies and TV series has also been frequently criticised.
Ex-president Philip Berk was fired in March for forwarding an email that called Black Lives Matter a hate movement.’ Two consultants, hired to deal with the diversity issues at the HFPA, quit due to a lackluster progress.
Additionally, there were claims that the HFPA wasn’t inclusive enough for members of the LGBTQ Community or women.
Netflix and Amazon Studios stated that they would be cutting ties with the HFPA if it did not swiftly make drastic changes.
‘We don´t believe these proposed new policies – particularly around the size and speed of membership growth – will tackle the HFPA´s systemic diversity and inclusion challenges, or the lack of clear standards for how your members should operate,’ Netflix co-chief executive Ted Sarandos wrote in a letter to the group.
Iconic: Ted Lasso starring Jason Sudeikis bagged four nods including a Best Actor nod for Jason
WarnerMedia announced that they would no longer hold screenings or other events in support of the HFPA unless it makes more substantive changes.
WarnerMedia executives wrote that they were aware of the demands made by employees for special favors, perks and other unprofessional requests. ‘We have been complaining as an industry but we have largely tolerated such behavior up to now.
NBC released a statement saying that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has its support and is working towards reform. However, NBC stated in a statement that change cannot be made fast enough to ensure next year’s Globes.
According to the network, ‘change of this scale takes time, work and dedication, so we believe that the HFPA must be patient and do the right thing. NBC has decided not to air the Golden Globes in 2022. If the plan is followed, then we expect to be able to broadcast the show on January 20, 2023.
While the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) didn’t respond to NBC’s decision regarding the 2022 telecast, its board members set out their schedule of reforms. This eventually led to a reformed membership and board in early August as well as many policy modifications.
Delightful duo: The nominations featured an introduction from HFPA president Helen Hoehne, who vowed the organisation is becoming more diverse, while Snoop Dogg read out the list of nominees
According to the statement, “Regardless of when the Golden Globes air next, the highest priority of our organization is still to make transformational changes as swiftly and carefully as possible,” the group added.
“We invite our industry partners to the table in order to collaborate on systemic reform, which is both long overdue within our industry and in general.”
After that, the press group ratified plans of adding at least 20 members to this year’s membership ‘with a particular focus on recruiting Black members and with a goal for increasing membership by 50% in the next 18-months.
With viewership dropping by 63 per cent from 2020 and at an all time low, this year’s 78th Golden Globes event was a disaster.
On January 9, 2022, the 79th Golden Globe Awards will be held
