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

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.

Angelina Jolie on her legacy, family and new film Maria

Angelina Jolie on her legacy, family and new film Maria

Angelina Jolie says although she appreciates being an artist, she would prefer for her legacy to be “a good mother” and to be known for her “belief in equality and human rights”.

The Oscar-winning actress stars as Maria Callas in the new Pablo Larrain film about the opera singer’s life.

She has called Maria “the hardest” and “most challenging” role she has had in her career and put months of preparation into immersing herself into the world of opera.

Jolie, who recently reached a divorce settlement with actor Brad Pitt, told Sky News: “To be very candid, it was the therapy I didn’t realise I needed. I had no idea how much I was holding in and not letting out.

“So, the challenge wasn’t the technical [side of opera], it was an emotional experience to find my voice, to be in my body, to express. You have to give every single part of yourself.”

The biopic combines the voice of the Maleficent actress with recordings of Maria Callas.

Jolie believes it “would be a crime to not have [Callas’] voice through this because, in many ways, she is very present in this film”.

More on Angelina Jolie

Who was Maria Callas?

Born in New York in 1923, Maria Callas was the daughter of Greek immigrants who moved back to Athens at the age of 13 with her mother and sister.

After enrolling at the Athens Conservatory, she made her professional debut at 17 and went on to become one of the most famous faces of opera, travelling around the world and performing at Covent Garden in London, The Met in New York and La Scala in Milan.

Callas’s final operatic performance took place at Covent Garden in 1965 when she was 41 but she continued to work conducting master classes at Juilliard School, doing concert tours and starring in the 1969 film Medea.

Written by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, Maria focuses on the artist’s final years in the 1970s when she moved to Paris and disappeared from public view.

She died on 16 September 1977 at the age of 53.

Jolie on changing motivations as an actor

Maria follows the life of an artist fully consumed by the art she creates and even remarks that “happiness never developed a beautiful melody”.

Reflecting on her own life in the spotlight, Jolie said she noticed her own career motivations change over the years.

“There’s this kind of study of being human that we do when we create, and we communicate with an audience because our work is not in isolation – it’s a connection.

“I think when I was younger, I had different questions about being human and different feelings and now as I’ve gotten older, I understand some things and now I have different questions.

“It’s a matter of life, right? And so maybe that’s interesting that this now is a character really contemplating death and really contemplating the toll of certain things in life that I, of course, couldn’t have understood in my 20s”.

A family affair

Two of Jolie’s children, Maddox and Pax, took on production assistant roles during the filming of Maria and witnessed their mother perform opera for the first time in public.

She says the film allowed them to create new experiences together and for her children to see her approach to playing a difficult role.

“Everyone in my home, we all give each other space to be who we are and we’re all different.

“I’m the mom, but I’m also an artist and a person and so my family has been very kind and gives me their understanding. They make fun of me, and they support me and just as you’d hope it would be.”

She adds: “When you play somebody who is dealing with so much pain, it’s very important to come home to some kindness.”

Maria is in cinemas now.

Tom Holland and Zendaya’s engagement confirmed by Spider-Man actor’s dad

Tom Holland and Zendaya's engagement confirmed by Spider-Man actor's dad

Tom Holland’s dad has confirmed his son’s engagement to Zendaya – revealing how the 28-year-old meticulously planned the proposal.

Zendaya, also 28, sparked engagement rumours when she attended last Sunday’s Golden Globes wearing a sparkling diamond on her ring finger.

Neither star has publicly addressed the rumours but Tom’s comedian father, Dominic Holland, has now confirmed the pair are set to wed.

He wrote in a post on his Patreon account: “Tom, as you know by now was very incredibly well prepared. He had purchased a ring.

“He had spoken with her father and gained permission to propose to his daughter.”

“Tom had everything planned out… When, where, how, what to say, what to wear,” he added.

Dominic also noted that while most men worry about being able to afford an engagement ring, he suspects his actor son was “more concerned with the stone, its size and clarity, its housing, which jeweller”.

Tom and Zendaya met on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016, when they played the titular hero and his love interest MJ, respectively. Their romance was confirmed in 2021.

In his post, Tom’s father admitted fears over whether being in the spotlight could put a strain on the couple’s relationship.

He wrote: “I do fret that their combined stardom will amplify their spotlight and the commensurate demands on them and yet they continually confound me by handling everything with aplomb.”

“And even though show business is a messy place for relationships and particularly so for famous couples as they crash and burn in public and are too numerous to mention […] yet somehow right at the same time, I am completely confident they will make a successful union.”
