'The Wild Robot' Fosters 4 Golden Globe Nominations; 'The Penguin' Mobs Up 3 Of Its Own
'Agatha All Along' conjures up Disney+’s lone nomination
It was a wild day as the nominations for the Golden Globes nominations were announced December 9. Sure Emilia Perez leads film nominations with ten, ahead of The Brutalist’s seven and Conclave’s six, while the TV side sees Hulu dominate with the top three leaders: The Bear with five and Only Murders In The Building and Shogun with four each. But that’s not where I’m drawn to with my specific interests. We’ve got DreamWorks Animation’s The Wild Robot garnering four nominations and HBO’s The Penguin miniseries racking up three. The 82nd Golden Globe Awards will be broadcast on CBS on Sunday, January 5 and hosted by Nikki Glaser.
To kick things off, the most obvious nomination The Wild Robot received was for Best Motion Picture - Animated, the Globes’ Best Animated Feature. It goes up against Sideshow and Janus Films’s Flow, Disney’s sequels Inside Out 2 and Moana 2, IFC Films’s Memoir of a Snail, and Aardman and Netflix’s Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. Kris Bowers was nominated for Best Original Score against Volker Bertelmann for Conclave, Daniel Blumberg for The Brutalist, Clemént Ducol for Emilia Pérez, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross for Challengers, and Hans Zimmer for Dune: Part Two. “Kiss the Sky” has been nominated for Best Original Song. Performed by Maren Morris, its music and lyrics are by her, Delacey, Jordan K. Johnson, Stefan Johnson, Michael Pollack, and Ali Tamposi. It’s up against “Beautiful That Way” from The Last Showgirl, which brings Miley Cyrus a nomination, with music and lyrics credited to her, Andrew Wyatt, and Lykke Zachrisson, “Compress / Repress” from Challengers’ Reznor, Ross, and director Luca Guadagnino, “Forbidden Road” from Better Man, by Robbie Williams, Freddy Wexler, and Sacha Skarbek, and two songs from Emilia Pérez‘s Ducol and Camille, with “El Mal” also from Jacques Audiard, and "Mi Camino". Its final nomination is for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement, the award that essentially follows the concept of the Academy Awards’s aborted “Best Popular Film”, which between both names/versions creates a pretty evident explanation. Here, the Chris Sanders-directed film goes up against Inside Out 2 once again, Alien: Romulus, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Gladiator II, Twisters, Wicked, and Deadpool & Wolverine.
That is in fact Marvel Studios’s only film nomination, while Agatha All Along garnered the sole nomination on the television side. It’s Kathryn Hahn nominated for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy Series as Agatha Harkness, going up against the most recent winner Ayo Edebiri as Sydney Adamu on The Bear, Jean Smart as Deborah Vance on Hacks, Kristen Bell as Joanne on Netflix’s Nobody Wants This, Quinta Brunson as Janine Teagues on Abbott Elementary, and Selena Gomez as Mabel Mora on Only Murders in the Building.
As for the Oz Cobb, The Penguin goes up for Best Limited or Anthology Series against networkmate True Detective: Night Country, Netflix’s Baby Reindeer, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, and Ripley, and Apple TV+’s Disclaimer. Colin Farrell goes up against actors from all of these, except True Detective, where instead Ewan McGregor competes playing Count Alexander Ilyich Rostov in Paramount+ with Showtime’s A Gentleman in Moscow, with Richard Gadd as Donny Dunn in Baby Reindeer, Cooper Koch as Erik Menendez in Monsters, Andrew Scott as Ripley, and Kevin Kline as Stephen Brigstocke in Disclaimer. Cristin Milioti as Sofia Falcone is nominated for Best Actress against Cate Blanchett as Catherine Ravenscroft in Disclaimer, Jodie Foster as Liz Danvers in True Detective: Night Country, Sofia Vergara as Griselda Blanco in Griselda, Naomi Watts as Babe Paley in Feud: Capote vs. The Swans and Kate Winslet as Elena Vernham in HBO’s The Regime.
This took me way longer than I hoped, basically took until the last minute as it’s under 24 hours until the ceremony as of publishing. There’s still more of awards season I’m looking to cover before they meet a similar fate.
