Golden Globes 2023 nominations: Elvis movie, Top Gun Maverick and more up for awards | Films | Entertainment

The Golden Globes are headed back to TV in 2023 after the controversial awards were dropped by NBC this year following allegations of corruption. The ceremony was boycotted by many A-listers over a lack of diversity among voters, with Tom Cruise famously returning his three gongs. Organised by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, it’s returning to being broadcast next month and as usual, its nominations give the earliest idea of who the big contenders for the Oscars will be. 

Leading the 2023 Golden Globes nominations with eight in total is Martin McDonagh’s dark comedy The Banshees of Inisherin, starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson. The film takes place on a remote island off the coast of 1920s Ireland when one day a man mysteriously decides he no longer wants to be friends with his buddy anymore.

Other top contenders this year include Michelle Yeoh’s multiverse movie Everything Everywhere All At Once (6), Damien Chazelle’s 1920s Hollywood epic Babylon (5) starring Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie and Steven Spielberg’s love letter to cinema, The Fabelmans (5).

Meanwhile, Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis (3) includes a nomination for title star Austin Butler, who could well be on his way to Oscars glory later this year after mesmerising audiences with his portrayal of The King. Additionally, the critically acclaimed Pinocchio (3) from Guillermo del Toro is up for awards, plus Tom Cruise’s Top Gun: Maverick (2) and James Cameron’s Avatar The Way of Water (2).
