Transcript¹

Golden Globe nominations² are announced Monday. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association plans to hand out its trophies³ next month during a lavish⁴ Hollywood party broadcast on NBC.

ROB SCHMITZ, BYLINE⁵: The Golden Globes will be back on television next month after an embattled tenure⁶ for the organization that hosts the annual ceremony honoring film and TV. And this morning, nominations were announced, as NPR's Mandalit del Barco reports.

MANDALIT DEL BARCO, BYLINE: Comedian⁷ George Lopez was supposed to read the names of the nominees⁸. He stayed home with COVID. Instead, his daughter Mayan and Selenis Leyva from the sitcom⁹ "Lopez Vs. Lopez" did the honors.

MAYAN LOPEZ: Best motion picture drama - "Avatar: The Way of Water," "Elvis," "The Fabelmans," "Tar," "Top Gun: Maverick¹⁰."

DEL BARCO: In the television categories, "Abbott Elementary" led with five nominations. Actor Tom Cruise, who starred in "Top Gun," was not nominated. Neither was Will Smith for his performance in the film "Emancipation¹¹." Next month, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association plans to hand out its trophies with a lavish Hollywood party emceed by comedian Jerrod Carmichael. The ceremony will be shown on NBC, which scrapped¹² its broadcast last year after controversy¹³ over the host organization's questionable¹⁴ practices. The HFPA was criticized for conflicts of interest, for having very few Black members and for alleged¹⁵ inappropriate behavior by some members who are supposed to be journalists for international media. During last year's nominations announcement, President Helen Hoehne said the HFPA overhauled¹⁶ itself.

HELEN HOEHNE: We've worked tirelessly as an organization to be better. We changed our rules, bylaws, added a new code of conduct and restructured our governance.

DEL BARCO: Even so, many studios, network stars and publicists boycotted¹⁷ last year's ceremony. There were no celebrity¹⁸ presenters¹⁹, no red carpet, no media and no broadcast. This time, actor Brendan Fraser, who was nominated for the film "The Whale," says he will not be attending. He alleges²⁰ he was sexually assaulted by the HFPA's former eight-term president, Philip Berk, in 2003, an allegation Berk has disputed. It will be interesting to see who does or doesn't show up for what's traditionally been Hollywood's loosest, booziest awards celebration.
