‘Barbie’ and ‘Succession’ lead the nominations for the 81st annual Golden Globe Awards

On Monday morning, Cedric the Entertainer and Wilmer Valderrama revealed the nominees for the next Golden Globe Awards, with Barbie and HBO’s Succession tied for the top spot at nine nominations each.

This is the first year the Globes will air on CBS. It is also the first year the awards will not be run by the now-disbanded Hollywood Foreign Press Association, an organization that was embroiled in scandals including that its membership of journalists didn’t include a single person of color. Dick Clark Productions is now the owner of the awards show.

The next Golden Globes will also be the first to give flowers to the best stand-up special, and one for box office achievement. 

The 81st annual Golden Globe Awards will air live from the Beverly Hilton on CBS and stream on Paramount+ Sunday, January 7, 2024, at 8 p.m. ET.
