An awards season like never before kicked into high gear Wednesday morning with the 2021 Golden Globe nominations.
In a normal year, this unpredictable, alcohol-fueled ceremony would have taken place a month ago — but this is no normal year. The COVID-19 pandemic pushed everything back, with the Oscars currently set for April and the Golden Globes airing — in some form — on Feb. 28 on NBC with hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
While icons Jane Fonda and Norman Lear have already been announced as recipients of the Cecil B. DeMille Award and Carol Burnett Award, respectively, at the 78th Golden Globes, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and presenters Sarah Jessica Parker and Taraji P. Henson revealed all of this year's nominees.

Nominations were announced live early Wednesday by Sarah Jessica Parker and Taraji P. Henson on the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's Facebook page and the TODAY Show. As they sped through the list of names for 12 categories, it became a big day for projects like Promising Young Woman, See the nominees' reactions below — we'll be updating as the day goes on — and check out the full list of nominations here.

Emma Corrin (Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Drama)
"Thank you thank you! I am truly honoured to be named amongst a group of such talented and inspirational women!

The most shocking snubs and surprises of the 2021 Golden Globes film nominations

Every year, Hollywood wakes up bright and (way too) early to find out who made the cut at the Golden Globes. And every year inevitably there are those who wake up to good news, and those who sadly do not.
On Wednesday, Taraji P. Henson and Sarah Jessica Parker announced this year's crop of nominees, and per usual, there were a number of shocking inclusions and omissions on the film side. Below, EW breaks down some of the biggest snubs and surprises of this year's Golden Globes nominations list.

SURPRISE: A record THREE women nominated in Best Director

On way too many nominations mornings in years past we've decried the lack of female directors in this category (just see EW's post last year!) — but this year there's reason to celebrate! Not one, not two, but three different women's work was honored here: Regina King for One Night in Miami, Emerald Fennell for Promising Young Woman, and Chloé Zhao for Nomadland. It should also be noted that two of these three films — Fennell's and King's — were feature directorial debuts. Before this year, only five women had ever been nominated for Best Director at the Globes.

SNUB: Da 5 Bloods in any category

Going into nominations morning, Spike Lee's Da 5 Bloods was expected to potentially pick up a number of nods, including Best Drama, Best Actor for Delroy Lindo, and Best Director for Lee. Unfortunately the Vietnam war drama walked away completely empty-handed, and after picking up a number of important critics prizes and precursors including AFI Top 10 honors and being named Best Film from the National Board of Review, it was pretty shocking.

SURPRISE: Best Supporting Actor – Jared Leto (The Little Things)
The Golden Globes take their role of being the first major televised awards very seriously in that they just love to be first to nominate something. Even still, nobody could have predicted this nod for Leto's role in John Lee Hancock's thriller, which also stars Denzel Washington and Rami Malek. Hearing his name called was one of the bigger shocks on Wednesday morning, especially considering the film was just released last week and only started screening for critics pretty recently.

Chadwick Boseman’s Wife Honors Him in Posthumous Golden Globe Acceptance Speech

“He would say something beautiful, something inspiring, something that would amplify that little voice inside of all of us that tells you you can.”

Chadwick Boseman’s Wife Honors Him in Posthumous Golden Globe Acceptance Speech
By Halle Kiefer@hallekiefer

As viewers of Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom likely predicted, the late Chadwick Boseman won Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama at Sunday’s Golden Globes for his turn in the film. As she did in January following his Gotham Awards win, Boseman’s widow, Taylor Simone Ledward, gave an impassioned acceptance speech on the actor’s behalf. “He would thank God,” she says, fighting back tears. “He would thank his parents. He would thank his ancestors for their guidance and their sacrifices.”

“He would say something beautiful,” Ledward continues. “Something inspiring, something that would amplify that little voice inside of all of us that tells you you can. That tells you to keep going. That calls you back to what you are meant to be doing at this moment in history. He would thank Mr. George C. Wolfe, Mr. Denzel Washington, lots of people at Netflix. He would thank Mrs. Viola Davis,” among many others.

“I don’t have his words, but we have to take all the moments to celebrate those we love, so thank you, HFPA, for this opportunity to do exactly that,” she concludes. “And, hon? You keep ’em coming.”

 
I didn't even realize the Golden Globes came on.... here are some other notable acceptance speeches.....

Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Supporting Role
John Boyega, "Small Axe" — Winner



Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture — Drama
Andra Day, "The United States Vs. Billie Holiday — Winner



Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture

Some Golden Globes Producer Is Getting Fired for Daniel Kaluuya’s Muted Speech
By Devon Ivie@devonsaysrelax



After the dopamine high of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler’s opening monologue, the half virtual, half in-person Golden Globes was hit with its inevitable tech snafu: Daniel Kaluuya, the winner of Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture for his captivating presence in Judas and the Black Messiah, nearly got his acceptance speech cut off due to silly technical difficulties that we’ll just blame on Zoom and definitely not a producer. But 20 seconds of dead air, a confused Laura Dern, and a smiling Bill Murray in a Hawaiian shirt later, Kaluuya was given time to finish his speech, and we’re very happy that we got to be reminded of his hot British accent.

“You’re doing me dirty!” he said with a smile. “Like the great Nipsey Hussle said, We’re here to give until we’re empty, and I gave everything.”
 
The Golden Globes Were an Edge-Of-Your-Seat Psychological Thriller
By Rachel Handler@rachel_handler

The Golden Globe for Best Television Series, Drama, went to The Crown this year, despite the fact that it clearly should have gone to the Golden Globes. Never have I been more profoundly anxious and disturbed while watching television than I was during Sunday night’s three-hour stretch of pure, uncut lunacy put on by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, who are famously bad at recognizing good art but apparently incredible at accidentally creating it. The Globes always flirts with chaos — usually by plying their hungry attendees with alcohol and then mocking them in front of an audience of millions — but this year, as said attendees Zoomed in from around the world in various combinations of couture and wrinkled pajamas during an unprecedented global health crisis, the awards ratcheted the anarchy up to 11, unintentionally producing one of the best psychological thrillers I’ve ever seen.
The sense of sheer lawlessness began almost immediately, when winner Daniel Kaluuya began giving a speech on mute, as someone (a producer?) sucked in his breath and said, “Oh, I wish I could hear him!” Presenter Laura Dern, whose long partnership with David Lynch has taught her how to thrive in the midst of the phantasmagoric, placed her glasses calmly on top of her eyes and said, “As you can see, we have a bad connection,” only for Kaluuya to pop back in, looking vaguely insulted. “You did me dirty!” he said, implying that the HFPA — whom Sacha Baron-Cohen later described almost entirely accurately as “all-white” and which is quite famously racist as fuck — might have had it out for him. This moment established the most important components of any good thriller: a motive and a villain.

It soon became clear that this villain had many more tricks up its sleeve, namely, public psychological torture. Before each category was announced, the nominees were forced into smaller Zoom breakout rooms to make small talk amongst one another while being filmed and broadcast around the world, creating a rapidly disintegrating illusion of intimacy upon the global stage. Not only was this part of the show never explained or directly referred to, it didn’t even occur during the actual show, just during the lead-ins to commercial breaks. We couldn’t even really make out what the celebrities nervously chattered about — we could only viscerally experience their horror and dysfunction. At one point, Michelle Pfeiffer made a joke in her Zoom breakout room and nobody laughed, which is the first time in her life that this has happened, and it better be the last. Simultaneously, Anya Taylor-Joy bobbed her head to a beat nobody else could hear. Jason Sudeikis, who won the Golden Globe for being the Most High Person To Reference Tolstoy, used one of his Zoom breakouts to express astonishment at the age of Norman Lear.
This portion of the broadcast, in my opinion, served three functions: 1) To force each celebrity to experience ego death, which I think ultimately will be good and character-building for them; 2) To trigger the television audience sitting at home by reminding them that in the next 8-12 hours, they too would be forced into some kind of Zoom breakout room, except not with Al Pacino; 3) To subsequently destroy the very concept of celebrity itself, tearing down the already thin veneer between the famous and the non-famous and forcing us all to confront one another on the great battlefield of the human experience. Mark Ruffalo tried to hint at this nefarious motive during his speech about climate change, but instead he accidentally veered off into making a point about the tragedy of being twins.
The most straight-facedly diabolical thing the Globes did, however, was force the evening’s losers to stay in their respective Zoom breakout rooms for the entirety of the winners’ speeches, keeping their fake teeth visible, their cheeks shaking quietly as they watched their nemeses deliver platitudinal statements about “real heroism” bookended with various thankings of agents. Adding insult to injury to injury to injury was the fact that these losers were sitting in their own homes with their own families, and in many cases their children, precariously perched in thousands of dollars worth of fashion in the least fancy corners of their homes lest they accidentally incite a class war. On top of all of this, the losers had to continue to act normal and casual for the three-hour duration of the show, because sometimes the camera just randomly zoomed in on one of them for 30 seconds while another celebrity (often entirely unrelated to them) was talking. Justice for Viola Davis and her husband, who deserve a Golden Globe for Looking Normal for Three Hours In Front of a White Wall.
Nobody seemed to know what, if anything, was appropriate to consume or export — should they take shots, a la David Fincher, or should they not take shots, like everybody else? This was likely because of a lack of consistency in setting and expectation: Half of the people on screen were forced to come into Los Angeles and New York studios to stand in front of an otherwise empty stage in front of a bunch of probably exhausted healthcare workers who should frankly have been paid one billion dollars not to attend and also given the celebrities’ homes; 40 percent of attendees got to stay home and stare into their laptops; another 10 percent ditched the event entirely and with no explanation; Gillian Anderson Zoomed in by herself from Prague. Jeff Daniels revealed that he lives alone in a room full of doors. I’ve rarely been made more nervous than I was by watching Anya Taylor-Joy profusely thank Cate Blanchett, who was only present in the most figurative of senses, via unblinking headshot.
In the middle of the show, Sean Penn showed up onstage in what can only be loosely described as hair to tell everyone that the HFPA wasn’t completely evil because they donated money to charities. As anyone who has ever seen a prestige thriller can tell you, Sean Penn was clearly a plant and we should not trust him. Soon thereafter, Rosamund Pike, winning for I Care A Lot, thanked “America’s broken legal system” for “making this story possible,” perhaps in an attempt to divert suspicion from Sean Penn and his head. Aaron Sorkin sat in some kind of underground lair surrounded by dozens of unnamed women and Olivia Munn. Moments or hours later, several celebrities participated in a skit where they asked real doctors to diagnose their symptoms, which ended up being the names of movies. Technical difficulties abounded, adding to the sense that the whole thing could descend even further into abject pandemonium at any moment.
But like all tense and psychotic thrillers must, things wrapped up with a sense of relative catharsis and resolution. Jodie Foster kissed the scheming bisexual documentarian from The L Word while both wore pajamas and held a big dog. Chadwick Boseman won posthumously and deservedly for one of the great performances of his career. Minari won, and Chloé Zhao became the second woman to ever win Best Director, a fact that seems insane to celebrate, but let me remind you that we live in hell. Near the end of the evening, Jane Fonda gently steered the ship away from the iceberg by talking about all of the shows that the HFPA cruelly rebuffed, reacquainting them with their own general malevolence. Before she left the stage, Jane also reminded us of Tommy Tune’s birthday, a nonsequitur that is perhaps so random it is meaningful. Perhaps Jane wanted us to know that she sees Tommy Tune’s birth, 82 years ago on a cold (?) night in Wichita Falls, Texas, as the one grounding factor that should hold us all together right now — the thing that unites us in the face of darkness, adversity, and Golden-Globes-induced entropy.
 
I’m glad some of my brothers and sisters won but I’m really not into this award show plus those two host I really don’t like them anymore they are not funny. Even though I do not care for this award I would like to be nominated for BGOL Golden Globes award for best poster.

The Golden Globes Ratings Were a Disaster of Epic Proportions
By Josef Adalian


With few stars and even fewer blockbuster nominees, America pretty much ignored Sunday night’s Golden Globes broadcast. Per Nielsen, an not-so-nice average audience of just 6.9 million watched Tina Fey and Amy Poehler host the bicoastal proceedings on NBC, barely one-third the size of 2020’s viewership (18.3 million) and by far the least-watched ceremony in modern Globes history.

The demo ratings were even worse, with the three-hour Zoomathon notching a 1.5 rating with adults under 50, a 68 percent decline from a year ago (4.7). While award-show ratings have taken a beating during COVID, no major event has collapsed so quickly or on a scale similar to Sunday’s swan dive. And, yes, CBS and ABC probably have good reason to be nervous about the prospects for the upcoming Grammy and Oscar telecasts.​

There simply is no sugarcoating how awful these numbers are. While the Globes did manage to outdraw last fall’s pandemic Emmys, it wasn’t by much: TV’s top honors drew just 6.1 million viewers on ABC last September, also a record low for that show. But the Emmys fell a much more modest 11 percent from its pre-COVID audience, and in most recent years, the Globes have delivered anywhere from two to three times as many viewers as the Emmys. What’s more, while the Emmys rotate among the four major networks, NBC pays a massive premium for Globes exclusivity. In 2018, Variety reported the Peacock agreed to pay $60 million per year for the Globes as part of a long-term licensing deal; by contrast, most reports have pegged the fee networks pay for the Emmys at closer to $10 million per year.


In fairness to the Globes and NBC, the decline for last year’s Emmys was on the small side in part because that show has been suffering much more consistent audience erosion during the age of Netflix, leaving it with not much more room to decline. Performance-based music awards have taken much bigger hits in recent months, with audiences shrinking between one-third to one-half vs. past years. But the Globes collapse was much more spectacular and painful, in part because NBC invested so much in promoting the show and because it marked the return of Peacock vets Fey and Poehler as hosts. The network and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association decided to invest the resources in the telecast even though all signs pointed to a likely Nielsen disaster: COVID meant a slew of film nominees people either had never heard of or which never played in theaters, as well as the inability for stars to mix and mingle inside a ballroom. Then on top of that, the week before the Globes ceremony was dominated by fallout from a Los Angeles Times investigation which renewed questions about the legitimacy of the awards and revealed a lack of diversity among the show’s voting body.

As for Sunday’s ratings, the previous record low audience for a Globes telecast came in 2009, when the show drew 14.9 million viewers. That low-water mark came a year after the HFPA was forced to cancel its usual ballroom ceremony because of the 2008 Hollywood writers strike. It held a news conference instead, with CNN, E! and TV Guide network joining NBC in reporting the winners live. NBC’s special that night drew 6 million viewers, while it is likely the three cable networks combined to attract at least one million viewers. In any event, when measuring how this year’s Globes did vs. past ceremonies, 2008 doesn’t count since it wasn’t an actual ceremony. But even if it did, it is likely more people watched the winners revealed that year than tuned in to the show this year.

HFPA Promises to Have at Least 13 Percent Black Membership by Next Year’s Golden Globes

By Halle Kiefer@hallekiefer
Photo: Alberto E. Rodriguez/WireImage

On Monday evening, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association put their membership where their mouth is and pledged to increase the percentage of Black HFPA members from zero to at least 13 percent by next year. The announcement came on the heels of an open letter from over 100 PR firms published earlier Monday evening, demanding the organization “manifest profound and lasting change” to counteract “discriminatory behavior, unprofessionalism, ethical impropriety and alleged financial corruption” within HFPA. If not, the firms said, they will withdraw access to their clients until concrete change is made.

“In the last decade, our industry has faced a seismic reckoning and begun to address its failure to reflect and honor the diversity of our community, yet we have witnessed no acceptance of responsibility, accountability or action from the HFPA, even as systemic inequity and egregious behavior are allowed to continue,” the firms’ letter, addressed to HFPA’s higher-ups and published by The Hollywood Reporter, reads in part. “To reflect how urgent and necessary we feel this work is, we cannot advocate for our clients to participate in HFPA events or interviews as we await your explicit plans and timeline for transformational change.”

“The Hollywood Foreign Press Association reiterates that we are committed to making necessary changes within our organization and in our industry as a whole,” the 87-member organization said in their response, which you can also read at The Hollywood Reporter. “We also acknowledge that we should have done more, and sooner. As a demonstration of our commitment, the board has unanimously approved a plan to increase membership to a minimum of 100 members this year, with a requirement that at least 13 percent of the membership be Black journalists.”


HFPA also laid out a number of other pledges, including analyzing their member selection process, facilitating bias training for existing members, partnering with advocacy groups to help with reforms, and creating a transparent system to hold the organization accountable to their goals, i.e., making sure they actually fix all that stuff their Golden Globes hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler ripped them for just last month.

NBC won't air the Golden Globes in 2022

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has got to fix its problems before the network will air the show again.

NBC to the HFPA: Until you clean up your house, we're not airing your Golden Globes.

That was the decision made Monday by the broadcast network, amid ongoing complaints about the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, its membership, and the way it selects winners year after year.

"We continue to believe that the HFPA is committed to meaningful reform," NBC said in a statement. "However, change of this magnitude takes time and work, and we feel strongly that the HFPA needs time to do it right. As such, NBC will not air the 2022 Golden Globes. Assuming the organization executes on its plan, we are hopeful we will be in a position to air the show in January 2023."

Apparently, it wasn't enough that the HFPA recently approved a slate of changes that was supposed to address months of controversy over the lack of diversity in its ranks. The planned reforms include increasing the HFPA's membership by 50 percent over the next 18 months; hiring a diversity, equality, and inclusion strategist; and establishing a committee of "racially and ethnically diverse members who will advise the Board and oversee critical organizational reform."

Actors and publicists, along with the advocacy group Time's Up, have said that will barely scratch the surface. In a statement provided to EW, Scarlett Johansson recalled facing "sexist questions and remarks" from HFPA members "that bordered on sexual harassment." Johansson's Avengers costar Mark Ruffalo wrote a social media post that said, "now is the time to step up and right the wrongs of the past. Honestly, as a recent winner of a Golden Globe, I cannot feel proud or happy about being a recipient of this award."

And Time's Up called the supposed fixes "window-dressing platitudes." "Sadly, the list of 'reforms' adopted yesterday, and endorsed by NBCUniversal and Dick Clark Productions, are sorely lacking and hardly transformational," Time's Up President and chief executive Tina Tchen said in the statement. "Instead, these measures ensure that the current membership of the HFPA will remain in the majority and that the next Golden Globes will be decided with the same fundamental problems that have existed for years."

The HFPA has been under fire ever since the Los Angeles Times wrote an exposé in February detailing alleged ethical conflicts and other misconduct. The organization said it would try to be more transparent, and even brought out three members during the 2021 telecast to insist the group would welcome Black voices into its voting base.

Two Golden Globes Voters Resign From ‘Toxic’ Hollywood Foreign Press Association

Following months of controversy, two Golden Globes voters have resigned in protest from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association over the organization’s attempt (or lack there of) to address alleged racism, sexism, and other institutional issues. According to the L.A. Times, journalists Diederik van Hoogstraten of the Netherlands and Wenting Xu of China sent their letter of resignation Thursday to the organization, calling HFPA “toxic” and its attempts to correct systemic problems merely “window-dressing.” Writes the pair, “Insulation, silence, fear of retribution, self-dealing, corruption, and verbal abuse are just a few ways to describe the current culture.”


In May, companies like Netflix, Amazon Studios, Warner Bros., and HBO declared their intention to stop working with HFPA if it failed to swiftly make tangible changes, while NBC decided not to broadcast next year’s Golden Globes entirely. (Not to mention Tom Cruise sent back his three statuettes, for goodness’s sake!) “The majority of the membership resists transformative change, despite our lawyers and spokespersons suggesting otherwise publicly,” write van Hoogstraten and Xu. “Internal opposition to the status quo has been stifled, and critical voices such as ours have largely been ignored.”

However, in a statement reported by Deadline Thursday evening, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association accuses the exiting members of attempting to “sow division and doubt” while operating with “their own agendas.” Says HFPA in part, “At a time when the overwhelming majority of our members have chosen to be a part of change, it is disappointing that some members have decided to try and splinter our organization and sow division and doubt. While some may have their own agendas, the Board and membership of the HFPA share one, common goal — passing the transformational change our organization needs.” Last month, the organization released an updated code of professional and ethical conduct, with a goal of implementing those and other changes by August.
