A Globe nomination for Dwayne Johnson gives him a much-needed momentum boost
Some films were totally shut out
Wicked: For Good missing best musical might have been the
most notable snub, but many other movies were shut out entirely.
Missile thriller A House of Dynamite received zero
nominations, as did sports biopic Christy.
But there were also some pleasant surprises
Weapons star Amy Madigan pulled off a nomination in the
supporting actress category – she has been a passion pick for many awards
pundits in recent weeks.
But a nomination in the best drama actress category for
Sorry, Baby star Eva Victor was perhaps the biggest surprise of the day.
One Battle After Another is the film to beat
Some of the initial hype might have settled, but there’s no
doubt that it’s the hot favourite as we begin the three-month extravaganza that
is awards season.
However, early frontrunners often have a target on their
backs, so we’ll have to wait and see if the film can maintain its momentum.
Adolescence could be the UK’s biggest hope on the night
But it was a weaker showing in the film categories, with
only Cynthia Erivo and Emily Blunt representing the UK.
The Globes still love A-list stars
Even some actors whose Oscar chances have been looking
shaky, such as George Clooney, Jennifer Lawrence, Dwayne Johnson and Julia
Roberts, scored a nomination, giving them a much-needed boost.
