People really didn’t have much interest in the Golden Globe nominations, which were released yesterday. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is still putting on some kind of ceremony to announce the 2022 Golden Globe winners, but no one will show up for it. That Sunday night (January 9th), celebrities will gather at the Critics Choice Awards. The CCA nominations also came out yesterday and having looked at both lists… there’s a consensus about a lot of films, but I also kind of think that the Globes nomination list was probably closer to what the Oscars will look like. There are still margins in a lot of categories though! Some consensus choices: everybody loves Belfast (Kenneth Branagh’s autobiographical film), The Power of the Dog and King Richard. Dune was shortlisted for Best Picture at both awards shows, as was CODA. Here are the big Critics Choice nominations:

Best Actress feels pretty solid. To me, Kristen Stewart, Jessica Chastain, Olivia Colman and Lady Gaga are the sure-thing nominations. Nicole Kidman might be air-lifted out by the time the Oscars roll around, and Alana Haim is getting good buzz, but it doesn’t really matter. It’s a four-way race between Chastain, Stewart, Colman and Gaga. Who would you choose? Don’t count out Chastain – she was very good in Tammy Faye.

It feels like the supporting categories are wide f–king open. It could be a lot of Belfast people, or maybe House of Gucci makes a late surge, maybe Dakota Johnson in The Lost Daughter, but none of those nominations feels very firm. Also: curious inclusion of Nightmare Alley in the Best Picture conversation. It hasn’t come out yet, and if people love it, I could see some energy towards a campaign for Bradley Cooper. Maybe Cate Blanchett too.
