Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, Margot Robbie and Cillian Murphy are among those nominated for next year’s Golden Globes.

Barbie dominated the nominations with nine nods, closely followed by Oppenheimer, which scored eight nominations.

The Golden Globes is the first major ceremony to announce its shortlist ahead of the 2024 awards season, and it comes as Hollywood is getting back in gear following the end of the long-running actors’ and writers’ strikes that ground production to a halt earlier this year.

Winners will be announced at the 81st Golden Globe Awards event on Sunday 7 January.

Next year’s event will be a new look for the Globes, which has a new owner following criticism over a lack of diversity in the organisation, which led to the event being held behind closed doors in 2022.

While stars returned for the 2023 show in January, host and comedian Jerrod Carmichael wasted no time addressing the controversy, opening his monologue by saying: “I’ll tell you why I’m here – I’m here because I’m black.”

However, the controversy has not completely gone away as the Globes are still looking for a host after comedian Chris Rock and four other A-list comedy actors have declined offers to lead the ceremony, according to CNN.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which previously organised the ceremony, was shut down a few months after the last ceremony.

Eldridge Industries purchased the Golden Globe assets with Dick Clark Productions (DCP). In October, it was announced new members had been added, with 300 journalists from countries around the world, including Guatemala, Costa Rica and Cameroon, serving as voters.

“The new breakdown is 47% female, and 60% racially and ethnically diverse, with 26.3% Latinx, 13.3% Asian, 11% Black, 9% Middle Eastern,” a news release said.

Hollywood has needed a thaw in relations


Katie Spencer

Arts and entertainment correspondent

@SkyKatieSpencer

Once an important part of the Hollywood awards ecosystem, while the Golden Globes has had its power and influence stripped away by scandal in recent years, this year the movie industry knows it needs the Globes as much as they desperately want to be welcomed back.

Within Hollywood, it is the irreverent party with a purpose – a platform for Oscar hopefuls.

This year, coming after the industry was brought to its knees by almost six months of actors and writers strike, the studios will take any avenue they can to get their stars out there talking about movies, finally able to drum up publicity for their multi-million-pound investments.

Any boycott of the ceremony by stars and studios now seems long-forgotten and a major make-over on the part of the Globes is a narrative that suits.

As of last summer, conveniently the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is no more.

(The HFPA being the original voting body that wielded incredible influence exposed in 2021 for having no black voting members and accepting gifts from publicists eager to curry favour.)

After being dissolved by billionaire Todd Boehly, the replacement – a more diverse group of over 300 voters from around the world – is far more palatable.

Can it recapture that boozy, glitzy, A-list party feel? That’s certainly the hope.

Coming after the seriousness of strikes, which saw studios pitted against the stars, a few too many drinks might be dangerous but, without question, Hollywood has needed a thaw in relations.

Jessica Chastain criticises decision to delay release of The Savant after Charlie Kirk killing

Jessica Chastain criticises decision to delay release of The Savant after Charlie Kirk killing

Jessica Chastain has criticised Apple’s decision to delay the release of political thriller series The Savant after the killing of Charlie Kirk.

The actress, who is also executive producer of the show for the tech giant’s TV+ streaming service, said she was “not aligned on the decision to pause the release”.

In a post on Instagram, she said the programme, in which she plays a woman who tries to draw out potential terrorists online, is “so relevant” and she has never “shied away from difficult subjects”.

Chastain portrays a military veteran who works at the Anti-Hate Alliance, where she secretly visits 4Chan-like message boards and poses as a white nationalist to identify possible terrorists.

“‘The Savant’ is about the heroes who work every day to stop violence before it happens, and honouring their courage feels more urgent than ever,” Chastain said.

“I remain hopeful the show will reach audiences soon. Until then, I’m wishing safety and strength for everyone.”

She listed several acts of political violence in the US in recent years, including a plot to kidnap Michigan’s governor Gretchen Whitmer, the attempted assassinations of Donald Trump last year and also the killing of controversial influencer Kirk.

Apple said it chose to postpone the show after “careful consideration” but did not give a reason why.

Kimmel’s comeback show brings in record ratings

Meanwhile, millions of people tuned in to watch Jimmy Kimmel on Tuesday after he returned to TV after Disney suspended him for nearly a week after he made comments about Kirk.

ABC said 6.26 million people watched Kimmel as he said it was “never my intention to make light of” Kirk’s death. It was the late-night show’s highest-rated regularly scheduled episode.

“I don’t think there’s anything funny about it,” he said as he choked up.

“Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group for the actions of what was obviously a deeply disturbed individual. That was really the opposite of the point I was trying to make”.

Kimmel had been accused of being “offensive and insensitive” after using his programme, Jimmy Kimmel Live, to accuse Donald Trump and his allies of capitalising on the killing.

Claudia Cardinale: Star of The Pink Panther and Once Upon A Time In The West dies aged 87

Acclaimed Italian actress Claudia Cardinale, who starred in The Pink Panther and Once Upon A Time In The West, has died aged 87, according to French media reports.

The actress, who starred in more than 100 films and made-for-TV productions, died in Nemours, France, surrounded by her children, her agent told the AFP news agency.

At the age of 17 she won a beauty contest in Tunisia, where she was born to Sicilian parents, and was rewarded with a trip to the Venice Film Festival, kick-starting her acting career.

She had expected to become a schoolteacher before she entered the beauty contest.

Cardinale gained international fame in 1963 when she starred in both Federico Fellini’s 8-1/2 and The Leopard.

She went on to star in the comedy The Pink Panther and Sergio Leone’s Once Upon A Time In The West in 1968.

She considered 1966’s The Professionals as the best of her Hollywood films.

When she was awarded a lifetime achievement at the Berlin Film Festival in 2002, she said acting had been a great career.

“I’ve lived more than 150 lives, prostitute, saint, romantic, every kind of woman, and that is marvellous to have this opportunity to change yourself,” she said.

“I’ve worked with the most important directors. They gave me everything.”

Cardinale was named a goodwill ambassador for the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation for the defence of women’s rights in 2000.

She is survived by two children.

Convicted killer jailed after turning up at Cheryl Tweedy’s home for fourth time

Convicted killer jailed after turning up at Cheryl Tweedy's home for fourth time

A convicted killer who turned up at Cheryl Tweedy’s home for a fourth time has been jailed.

Daniel Bannister, 50, was sentenced to 12 months after admitting a single charge of breaching a restraining order.

He was also given a new restraining order, which warns him against contacting the former Girls Aloud singer.

“You are causing her anxiety,” Judge Alan Blake told him.

“She does not wish any contact with you. You have shown defiance to the court order. You need to draw a line under that behaviour.”

Bannister turned up at Tweedy’s rural home for the fourth time on 19 June.

Reading Crown Court heard he arrived in a taxi just before 10pm and rang the intercom twice before peering over the gate.

Bannister believed the singer had invited him to her home over Microsoft Teams, the court was told.

Tweedy said she was “stunned” when Bannister visited her home yet again and had been forced to hire security.

“Each time he returns the worry of his intentions intensifies,” she said in a victim impact statement.

“I’m worried, nervous and on edge every time I open my gate. No person should have to feel this way.

“Daniel has made my young child scared,” she added.

Bannister was initially jailed for four months in September last year – and handed a three-year restraining order.

But he breached it by turning up at Tweedy’s home in December.

In March, he was jailed for 16 weeks at Wycombe Magistrates’ Court for repeatedly going to Tweedy’s Buckinghamshire home while under the restraining order.

During that appearance, the court heard that Tweedy “immediately panicked” and was “terrified” when she saw him outside her home, fearing for the safety of her eight-year-old son Bear.

Bannister killed Rajendra Patel, 48, at a south London YMCA shelter in 2012 and pleaded guilty to manslaughter.

Mr Patel died from an injury to his leg, a court heard.

Tweedy’s former partner Liam Payne died last year in Buenos Aires, Argentina, after falling from his third-floor hotel balcony.
