2023 Golden Globes nominations: ‘Turning Red,’ Sarah Polley among Canadian nominees – National
After all the drama in the awards off-season, it’s gearing up to be another strange year at the Golden Globe Awards.
Once again, as has come to be expected from this particular awards show, the Golden Globes chose some unusual nominees, with non-mainstream movie The Banshees of Inisherin leading the nomination pack.
On the TV side, Abbott Elementary led with five nominations, including best series, musical or comedy, and nods for its stars Quinta Brunson, Janelle James and Tyler James Williams.

On Monday, George Lopez and his daughter Mayan Lopez revealed the nominations for the 2023 Golden Globes.
Though the Lopezes displayed a cheery energy, the overall excitement for the Hollywood award show has been less-than, even among several of the nominees.
Last year, the Globes made the unprecedented decision not to televise the 2022 ceremony for the first time in 40 years. The decision came amid a controversy that exposed the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) for a lack of diversity among its voting body. A Los Angeles Times investigation in early 2021 found that the group then had no Black members, a revelation compounded by other allegations of ethical improprieties.

Brendan Fraser, who was nominated for Best Actor in a Motion Picture (Drama), has also said he won’t attend the Globes after he claimed he was groped in 2003 by Philip Berk, a former HFPA member and ex-president of the organization.
Many other stars and studios said they would boycott the show. Legendary actor Tom Cruise even returned his three Globes.
There were, however, a few notable Canadian nominations, including Disney’s Turning Red, which scored a Best Animated Motion Picture nomination.
Canadian filmmaker James Cameron was also nominated for the highly anticipated Avatar: The Way of Water, which is scheduled to be released on Dec. 16. Toronto-born Sarah Polley also received a nomination for her screenplay, Woman Talking.
Notably, there were no women nominated in the Best Director category, leading to much backlash online.
The Golden Globe Awards will take place on Jan. 10, 2023, at 8 p.m. E.T. Comedian Jerrod Carmichael will be hosting for the first time.
