Pennsylvanians know how to bring home a trophy, from the reigning Super Bowl champions<\/a> to Philly natives taking home an Oscar<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The Golden Globe Awards on Monday announced its nominees for the best in television and movies, and with it, another chance for victory for regional productions and local actors.<\/p>\n

The ceremony airs Jan. 11. Among those selected across the 28 categories are numerous performances and productions with connections to the Philadelphia region.<\/p>\n

In its fifth season, Abbott Elementary<\/a> has already won the hearts of Philadelphians and three Golden Globes<\/a>. Still, this wholesome band of teachers, starring Philly-native Quinta Brunson<\/a>, is up again for best musical or comedy television series.<\/p>\n

HBO\u2019s Task and Peacock\u2019s Long Bright River, two riveting crime thrillers set in Philadelphia neighborhoods and suburbs, both have leading actors nominated for Golden Globes this season.<\/p>\n

In Task, Mark Ruffalo plays an FBI investigator hunting down the thieves of drug houses in Delco. While Ruffalo may not know the definition of \u201cjawn\u201d in real life<\/a>, his portrayal of a tortured former priest turned agent resonated with critics and earned a nomination for best male actor in a dramatic television series. The Inquirer compiled a list of the real-life locations used in the show<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Liz Moore\u2019s crime novel, Long Bright River, turned heads when it was released in 2020<\/a>, detailing the harrowing story of a Kensington police officer, played by Amanda Seyfried, searching for her sister in a cat-and-mouse chase with a killer targeting sex workers<\/a>. While the television adaptation was filmed in New York City, the bulk of the show takes place in Kensington and other Philadelphia neighborhoods, with Seyfried grabbing a nomination for best female performance in a dramatic limited series.<\/p>\n

Hometown stand-up icon Kevin Hart<\/a> was back to his roots with a new comedy special, Kevin Hart: Acting My Age, tackling injuries after 40, Chick-fil-A\u2019s spicy chicken sandwich consequences, and slipping in the shower. He earned a nomination for best stand-up comedy performance on television.<\/p>\n

The Golden Globes are introducing a new best podcast category this year, for which Bucks County native Alex Cooper<\/a> is nominated for her sex-positive show, Call Her Daddy. Alongside celebrity guests like Gwyneth Paltrow, Miley Cyrus, and Kamala Harris<\/a>, Cooper delves into the taboo of female pleasure and pop culture<\/a>. She grew the show\u2019s popularity into a $60 million exclusive Spotify deal<\/a> in 2021.<\/p>\n

And through a few degrees of separation, several other nominees can be claimed as Philly-adjacent works of art.<\/p>\n

Take Hacks actress Hannah Einbinder, who shouted \u201cGo birds!\u201d<\/a> during her speech after winning an Emmy for best supporting actress in a comedy series, and was filmed by the evening news crying in the streets of Los Angeles after the Eagles\u2019 2018 Super Bowl win. <\/p>\n

She may not be from Philadelphia (her father, actor Chad Einbinder<\/a>, is from Doylestown), but she reps the city. HBO\u2019s Hacks, which follows a veteran Las Vegas comic mentoring a young comedy writer, is up for best musical or comedy television series, with Einbinder and co-star Jean Smart nominated for best supporting female actor and best actor in a musical or comedy series, respectively.<\/p>\n

And there are some broader Pennsylvania and New Jersey ties among the nominees.<\/p>\n

The breakout medical drama The Pitt, which takes place in the fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Center, depicts a 15-hour shift in an emergency room<\/a>, split across 15 one-hour episodes. The Pitt\u2019s lead actor, Noah Wyle (known for his role as Dr. John Carter in NBC\u2019s ER), is up against Ruffalo for best male actor in a dramatic television series.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Allen White stars in the latest Bruce Springsteen<\/a> biopic, Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, and is nominated for best actor in a dramatic film. The production was almost entirely filmed around New Jersey<\/a> \u2014 at the request<\/a> of The Boss \u2014 including in Cape May and parts of South Jersey<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After a major overhaul<\/a> of the award show in recent years, including the sunsetting of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association due to ethics and diversity concerns<\/a>, the new Golden Globe Awards are judged by a panel of 400 journalists from across the world.<\/p>\n

The Golden Globes will be broadcast live on Jan. 11 at 8 p.m. Philadelphia time on CBS and streaming on Paramount+<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pennsylvanians know how to bring home a trophy, from the reigning Super Bowl champions to Philly natives taking…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":55420,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[30713,28,30,29],"class_list":{"0":"post-55419","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-pennsylvania","8":"tag-golden-globes-nominees-philadelphia-pennsylvania-new-jersey","9":"tag-pennsylvania","10":"tag-pennsylvania-headlines","11":"tag-pennsylvania-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55419","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55419"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55419\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55420"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55419"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55419"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55419"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
