2022 Golden Globe Nominees: Netflix Leads Nominations

The 2022 Golden Globe Awards may not be airing live on NBC this year, but they are still happening. The 2022 Golden Globe nominations were announced on Dec. 13 by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association — with the help of Snoop Dogg — and what is usually an occasion of celebration could instead be an honor received with hesitation by this year’s nominees.

The Golden Globes were mired with controversy this past year after The Los Angeles Times published a bombshell report revealing that there wasn’t a single Black journalist in the HFPA, the organization who votes for the Globes every year, and gave reports of members’ unethical behavior. Backlash was swift, with over 100 PR firms declaring they would cut off access to their celebrity clients until the HFPA swiftly implemented “profound and lasting change,” and actors like Tom Cruise returning awards they won throughout their career.

This year’s nominees look much more diverse than the 2021 awards show, seemingly in response to the controversy. Netflix’s Squid Game earned three nominations, including Best Television Series (Drama) and acting nods for O Yeong-su and Lee Jung-jae. The South Korean phenomenon will be competing against HBO’s hit series Succession in three major drama categories. On the film side, the Will Smith-led King Richard landed three nominations, including Best Actor for Smith and Best Motion Picture (Drama), a category where award-winning Black-led films were snubbed completely in 2021.

Overall, Netflix dominated the nominations, with a whopping 27 nods in total over the film and TV categories. The streaming service received 17 nominations in the film categories, with their movie The Power of the Dog tying with Belfast as the most nominated film, earning seven nods each including Best Motion Picture (Drama). However, HBO and HBO Max beat Netflix on the TV side, garnering 15 nods for shows like Succession, the most nominated series which landed five noms.

The Globes will take place on Sunday, Jan. 9. However, there are no details on what the ceremony will look like. In May, NBC announced they wouldn’t air the Globes in 2022 because “change of this magnitude takes time and work.” It’s unknown whether another network will air the show this year, or if the Globes will choose to live-stream a much simpler show online.
