The Golden Globes are back, returning to NBC for its 80th year on January 10th, 2023, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. Hosted by Jerrod Carmichael, this year brings multiple nominations for hit television shows such as Abbott Elementary and Only Murders in the Building, as well as critically acclaimed films The Fabelmans, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, and The Banshees of Inisherin.
New York Film Academy (NYFA) celebrates multiple NYFA alumni and guest speaker nominations for films and television shows, including Elvis, White Noise, The Fabelmans, The White Lotus: Sicily, Pam & Tommy, and Barry.
It will be the first year that the ceremony streams on Peacock, NBC’s streaming platform, in addition to airing live on NBC.
The 2023 Golden Globes: What’s Changed
In 2022, the Golden Globes was infamously canceled at NBC and held in a private, non-televised ceremony after an ethics, finance, and diversity scandal. This year, The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) promised changes to protect the integrity of the event and the safety of all involved, including a ban against members accepting gifts and a hotline for reporting misconduct.
The HFPA also made pledges to diversify its voting pool, which now includes 103 new internationally based voters and 21 additional members, which is now 52 percent female and 51.5 percent racially and ethnically diverse.
However, the ceremony still has challenges regarding viewership and relevancy, similar to many award shows. In 2022, the Oscars made significant changes to improve numbers from 2021, such as new categories and fan-voting categories, to combat the all-time low viewership of 10.4 million.
Additional challenges for the Golden Globes include actors who will no longer participate, such as Tom Cruise, who returned his Golden Globes statues in 2021. Brendan Fraser will not attend the ceremony despite his nomination for The Whale.
Nominations: The Highlights
This year, streaming giants HBO Max and Netflix tied for 14 nominations in television, followed by Hulu with nine. Leading the film distributors is Searchlight Pictures with 12 noms, followed by A24 with ten and Netflix with nine.
NYFA Alum and Guest Speaker Nominations (Film)
Elvis
Multiple NYFA Australia acting alum, including Darcie Morris, Connor Barton, Darcy Worthington, and Lachlan Crane, worked on Elvis, which was filmed in Gold Coast, Queensland. The film was nominated for Best Motion Picture – Drama and also picked up nominations for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for Austin Butler and Best Director – Motion Picture for Baz Luhrmann.
White Noise
NYFA Guest Speaker Adam Driver, who visited our NYFA New York campus to discuss his military and film career, was nominated this year for his performance as Professor Jack Gladney in the apocalyptic and absurdist White Noise. Directed by Noah Baumbach, the film is an adaptation of the novel of the same name.
The story follows a family in crisis during an airborne toxic event and co-stars Greta Gerwig and Don Cheadle. This is Driver’s third Golden Globes nomination.
The Fabelmans
Golden Globes front-runner The Fabelmans, directed by NYFA Guest Speaker Steven Spielberg, picked up nominations for Best Director – Motion Picture, Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama, Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Screenplay – Motion Picture, and Best Original Score. The film is centered on a middle-class Jewish couple, played by Michelle Williams and NYFA alum Paul Dano, and their son, Sammy, who proves to be a young filmmaking prodigy. The film also stars NYFA Guest Speaker Seth Rogen as family friend Benny.
NYFA Alum and Guest Speaker Nominations (TV)
The White Lotus: Sicily
Cultural sensation The White Lotus: Sicily wouldn’t be the same without the Audrey Hepburn-esqe Harper, played by NYFA teen camp alum and Guest Speaker Aubrey Plaza. The series adds to the growing list of film and television accomplishments of Plaza, who already appeared in this year’s indie hit, Emily the Criminal.
Plaza was nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television. The series was nominated for Best Television Limited Series, Anthology Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television. This is her first Golden Globes nomination.
Pam & Tommy
Pam & Tommy almost broke the internet with how similar Lily James and Sebastian Stan looked to their counterparts, Pam Anderson and Tommy Lee. NYFA alum Francesco Panzieri and Andrea Muñoz, who both worked on the show, share the honor of the nomination for Best Television Limited Series, Anthology Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television. NYFA Guest Speaker Seth Rogen was nominated for his role as Rand Gauthier on the show.
Barry
NYFA alum Bill Hader has once again earned a Golden Globe nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy in Barry, playing the titular character. The show is also written, produced, and directed by Hader. NYFA Guest Speaker Henry Winkler, who visited our NYFA Los Angeles Campus earlier this year for a phenomenal master class with Acting for Film students, also earned a nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Musical-Comedy or Drama Television Series.
Additional highlights include nominations for Better Call Saul for Best Television Series – Drama, which NYFA Guest Speaker Gordon Smith worked on as the head writer, as well as a nom in the same category for The Crown, which featured NYFA Alum Alfredo Tavares. Audience favorite Only Murders in the Building was nominated for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy, which featured NYFA Alum Devin LaRon Chandler, and NYFA Guest Speakers Matteo Borghese and Rob Turbovsky, the co-executive producers and writers of the show.
Abbott Elementary
NYFA Guest Speaker Wendy O’Brien joined the NYFA community at the Los Angeles campus in November 2022 for a Q&A with the school’s LA Acting for Film Creative Director, Lynda Goodfriend. O’Brien, a recent Emmy Award-winning Casting director for the hit television series Abbott Elementary, touts a long list of credits for casting some of the most popular shows on television. Her credits include Sons of Anarchy; It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The Lincoln Lawyer, and Mayans, M.C.
This year, Abbott Elementary was nominated for four Golden Globes across three categories in acting and best musical or comedy television series.
