The films and TV shows in contention for the annual ceremony were revealed in Los Angeles by Cedric the Entertainer and That '70s Show actor Wilmer Valderrama on Monday (11 December).
Films in contention for trophies at the 2024 ceremony include Barbie, which leads the pack with eight, followed by Oppenheimer (eight), Killers of the Flower Moon and Poor Things (seven each).
Meanwhile, in the TV categories, Succession is the most nominated series, with a total of nine, followed by The Bear and Only Murders in the Building, which have five apiece.
It’s a big year for the Brits, with nominations for Carey Mulligan, who stars in Bradley Cooper’s Leonard Bernstein biopic Maestro, and Emily Blunt for her role in Oppenheimer.
Elsewhere, Rosamund Pike snuck in a surprise nomination for her supporting turn in Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn.
It seems British stars will have more chance of winning in the TV categories thanks to nominations for Bella Ramsey, who plays Ellie in The Last of Us and Sam Claflin for Daisy Jones & the Six, as well as Imelda Staunton and Dominic West for thier respective roles in The Crown.
Next year’s ceremony also introduced two new categories: Best Cinematic and Box Office Achievement and Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy. The former, which is debuted in the same year as the Barbenheimer craze, has led to a nomination for Taylor Swift for her concert film The Eras Tour.
Swift is not the only musician to be nominated: Billie Eilish received her first acting nomination following her role in Swarm.

This year’s nominations arrive after a huge membership shake-up for the ceremony’s voting body, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which, in 2022, was accused of a lack of diversity in a Los Angeles Times exposé.
At the time, the HFPA did not have a single Black member, but it has since expanded its membership and enforced what was described as a strict code of conduct among voters. This led to the approval of many celebrities who, one year after boycotting the event, decided to attend the 2023 ceremony.
According to reports, the Golden Globes are struggling to find a host.
CNN claims that Chris Rock and Ali Wong, as well as Will Arnett, Sean Hayes and Jason Bateman, who were reportedly approached to host as a trio, have all declined offers. A spokesperson for the Golden Globes declined to comment on the search for the host. However, a source close to the situation said there are “three very serious conversations” going on with potential presenters.
Succ-yes-sion (sorry)
Succession is the ultimate leader, though, with nine nominations – including three apiece in the Male Acting categories, both Lead and Supporting.
