Still suffering from the 2021 controversy, the 80th Golden Globe Awards pushes though with The Banshees of Inisherin receiving the most nominations

The Irish black comedy The Banshees of Inisherin received the most nominations for the 80th Golden Globe Awards. 

The scandal-struck Hollywood award show is scheduled to be held on January 10, 2023 from The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, with it being aired live in the United States on NBC and streamed on Peacock. Jerrod Carmichael will host the ceremony.

The Banshees of Inisherin from the Disney-owned Searchlight Pictures picked up eight nominations, including nominations for its star Colin Farrell, director Martin McDonagh, and for best comedy or musical.

Surreal sci-fi film Everything Everywhere All at Once earned six nominations, while the Hollywood Golden Age drama Babylon and Steven Spielberg’s deeply personal The Fabelmans took five each.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is constantly reforming itself since long-harbored criticisms of the group’s practices went public in early 2021.

Most of Hollywood’s A-listers completely distanced itself from the Globes last January over voters’ lack of diversity, alleged corruption and lack of professionalism, and the show took place behind closed doors.

But broadcaster NBC has gambled that it is time to bring back the glitzy gala that the Golden Globes has always delivered for the past decades.

Brendan Fraser, who was nominated for his starring role in The Whale, a drama about a morbidly obese man, has already said he will not attend the awards.

“It’s because of the history that I have with them. And my mother didn’t raise a hypocrite,” Fraser said in his interview with GQ last month.

Fraser has alleged that a former HFPA president, Philip Berk, sexually assaulted him at an industry event in 2003. Berk denies the incident, and has since been expelled from the group for calling Black Lives Matter a “racist hate movement.”

But Tom Cruise, who was widely seen as a strong contender in the acting categories this awards season for his lead role in Top Gun: Maverick, was overlooked.

Last year, Cruise returned his three Golden Globes to the HFPA in protest at its behavior.

In response to last year’s controversy, the HFPA has expanded its voting body to include people with more diverse backgrounds, banned members from accepting gifts, and halted its in-person press conferences with stars, which were often derided for the improper behavior of some members.

“This is really not the old HFPA anymore. I respect Brendan Fraser’s decision… And I personally, sincerely hope there’s a way for us to move forward and we are able to regain Mr. Fraser’s trust, along with the trust of the entire entertainment community,” says president Helen Hoehne to The Hollywood Reporter.

Still, powerful Hollywood publicists remain divided over the Globes, with some expressing skepticism about the reforms — and a reluctance to return to the event with their stars.
