2022 Golden Globe Nominees Announced (Full List)

​Hello, everyone, and welcome back to The Friendly Film Fan! It’s been quite a while since I’ve been able to write for this site, what with the holiday season keeping both of my other jobs immensely busy, but I promise, there is more content coming, so keep your eyes peeled! For now, we have a double-header of awards pieces!
 
Awards season is well underway, and with it comes a bevy of nominations, both from critics groups and industry voting bodies the world over. In the case of this piece, those nominations are from the HFPA (Hollywood Foreign Press Association), who came under heavy fire last year when it was revealed that the makers of Netflix’s Emily in Paris series had put the group of journalists up in a 5-star hotel in Paris as they made a set visit. The entertainment news buzz over this and the HFPA’s well-documented issues with diversity within its voting body and inconsistent rulings on categorization eligibility led to a swarm of controversy so fierce that NBC – the home of the Golden Globes for many years – announced that they would not be airing the 2022 ceremony live on television, as in years previous.
 
For a time, it also seemed that there would simply not be a 2022 Golden Globes at all, until one day this year it was announced that the HFPA would not only be going ahead with the Golden Globes after all, but would announce their nominations on the same day as the more respected Critics Choice Awards Film Nominations (the television half of the CCA has already been announced) and have their official ceremony on January 9, 2022 – also the same day that CCA had already scheduled their own show. It’s sure to be a contentious awards day for the two voting bodies, and what it all means for the Oscars – which take place on March 27, 2022 – will likely come down to the latter of those ceremonies. For now, however, let’s keep the focus on that first set of nominations. Here are the nominees for the 79th Annual Golden Globe Awards!
