FILM: Golden Globes - Will win, Should win ... and Who was snubbed?

Missing: Little Women. Should have, could have, would have ... Should have been a contender. Could have given Golden Globes some popular cred. Would have been a landmark for Greta Gerwig to win ... or even to be nominated.

Best film (drama)

The best film category is dominated – just like everything else in the cultural conversation around movies – by Netflix, which has the majority of the nominees: Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman, Noah Baumbach’s Marriage Storyand Fernando Meirelles’s The Two Popes.

The other two are Sam Mendes’s 1917 and Todd Phillips’s box-office smashJoker. This is a really good list, in my view, with one exception: I am unconvinced that Joker is anything other than an amazingly crass, boorish and shallow movie, stridently but incorrectly congratulating itself on its own supposed supercoolness: there is a decent, but overrated performance from Joaquin Phoenix.

1917 is one from the heart, a one-shot nightmare that succeeds in being tremendous, exhilarating and affecting. Scorsese’s wintry mob drama is a magnificent film, one of his very best. For me, the film flew by.

Marriage Story is a gorgeous, beguiling film – desperately sad, and yet with a persistent heartbeat of romance. The Two Popes is the kind of undemanding middleweight biopic that tends to be rewarded during awards season: an imagined dramatic account of the confrontation between Pope Benedict XVI (Anthony Hopkins) and the cardinal who succeeds him: Francis (Jonathan Pryce). I regretted the absence of Claire Denis’s sci-fi High Life – and even more the snub to Greta Gerwig’s wonderful new version of Little Women.

Will win: Marriage Story.

Should win: The Irishman.

Shoulda been a contender: Little Women.

Best musical or comedy

This category is traditionally where the often-mocked Globes scores, because it makes space for the crowd-pleasers at which most awards bodies turn up their noses.

It is a lively list this year, although I am astonished at the way pundits have rolled over for the fatuous and pointless Jojo Rabbit. It strikes a very queasy series of false notes.

Dexter Fletcher’s Rocketman is a rousing and entertaining account of the early life of Elton John with a great (singing) performance from Taron Egerton, although it is clearly the authorised version permitted by Sir Elton himself.

My favourite on this list is Quentin Tarantino’s dizzying, dazzling Once Upon a Time In Hollywood, a black comedy about late-60s Los Angeles which is brilliantly conceived and designed. Rian Johnson’s Christie-esque whodunit,Knives Out, has been much praised, although I have to admit to being the tiniest bit disappointed with the big reveal. Eddie Murphy’s Dolemite Is My Name is a hilarious Blaxploitation biopic comedy, and thoroughly deserves its nomination.

But where on Earth was Booksmart? That really was an out-and-out comedy, without any pretensions to anything other than getting laughs.

Will win: Knives Out.

Should win: Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Should have been a contender: Booksmart.

Best actor (drama)

Here is where this year’s Globes look a little bit under par. It is great to see Adam Driver get his nomination for Marriage Story, while Antonio Banderas establishes a gold-standard with his great performance in Pedro Almdodóvar’s autofictional movie Pain and Glory. But I found Christian Bale’s mannered and twitchy performance as the hot-tempered racing-car genius in the middling Ford v Ferrari almost insufferable (the same goes for Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker). Jonathan Pryce does an honest, good-natured job with the role of Pope Francis in The Two Popes. It is very surprising that Robert De Niro somehow didn’t get a nod for his gloomy hitman in The Irishman, Brad Pitt probably deserved something for his troubled spaceman in James Gray’s Ad Astra.

Will win: Adam Driver.

Should win: Antonio Banderas.

Should have been a contender: Robert De Niro.

Best actress (drama)


Cynthia Erivo brought sheer passionate commitment, charisma and verve to the role of the anti-slavery campaigner Harriet Tubman; her closest competitor is Renée Zellweger, who won hearts and minds with her very intelligent and heartfelt portrayal of Judy Garland. It is a good performance, although the film itself puts a sugary soft focus on the wrenching agony of Garland’s decline. Saoirse Ronan is characteristically forthright and excellent in the role of Jo in Gerwig’s terrific new version of Little Women. Scarlett Johansson is also very good in Marriage Story, with flashes of passion, anguish and rage that are all the more powerful for bursting out of that kind of opaque reserve that she habitually creates.

I am very unconvinced by Charlize Theron’s mannered and odd impersonation of Fox News star Megyn Kelly in Bombshell; the film’s confusion over the fact that Kelly is no feminist shows up in her performance. Perhaps the Globes should have looked outside Hollywood and rewarded Yong Mei for her heartwrenching turn as the grieving mother in Wang Xiaoshuai’s So Long, My Son.

Will win: Renée Zelleweger.

Should win: Cynthia Erivo.

Should have been a contender: Yong Mei.

Best actor (musical or comedy)

Some really great stuff here from Leonardo DiCaprio as a failing TV cowboy actor, and – the singing especially – from Egerton in Rocketman. There is a blast of comic energy from Murphy as the 70s Blaxploitation comic Rudy Ray Moore; as for Daniel Craig, he brings plenty of amusement and drollery to his performance as the intellectual private detective in Knives Out (although I sometimes wonder if he really does have comedy bones). It is a bit dismaying to see Roman Griffin Davis in here for his moderate child-actor moppet turn in the worryingly overindulged Jojo Rabbit. I would have liked to see Robert Downey Jr nominated for his very distinctive and personal performance as Tony Stark in Avengers: Endgame.

Will win: Taron Egerton.

Should win: Leonardo DiCaprio.

Should have been a contender: Robert Downey Jr.

Best actress (musical or comedy)

Zhao Shuzhen, left, and Awkwafina in The Farewell. 

My feeling is that Awkwafina has this sewn up for her starring turn in The Farewell, a heart-rending and sweet movie about the Chinese-American experience. Cate Blanchett can never be anything other than a potent and intelligent screen presence, and her performance as the agoraphobic architect who goes missing in Where’d You Go, Bernadette? has been much admired. As for Emma Thompson, she has been nominated for her role as an acid-tongued British talk-show host in Late Night – a good performance although, oddly, she is more obviously funny in a far inferior film, the box-office smash Last Christmas, in which she was the grumpy Croatian mum. Ana de Armas is really good in Knives Out, but again I have to say in terms of real comedy – not comedy-drama, not drama with bittersweet comic touches, but actual comedy – Feldstein is streets ahead of anyone here. One person who deserved to be on this list is that great singer and actor Jessie Buckley for her full-throated performance in Wild Rose, the story of a Scottish woman yearning to be a country music star.

Will win: Awkwafina.

Should win: Beanie Feldstein.

Should have been a contender: Jessie Buckley.

Best supporting actor
Frontrunner: Joe Pesci as Russell Bufalino in The Irishman. Photograph: Landmark Media/Alamy

There are some big names and revered silverback gorillas in this list – all of whom are doing an excellent job, although I couldn’t help wondering if the Hollywood Foreign Press Association could cast its net a little wider? For opaque reasons, Anthony Hopkins has a best supporting actor nomination, despite being of equal importance to Pryce in The Two Popes. Tom Hanks’s performance as the American TV legend Fred Rogers is causing critics to gibber with awestruck delight, although Brad Pitt may pinch it with his wonderfully mature performance in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, which showcases his marvellous Gary-Cooper-like ease.


Will win: Joe Pesci.But the frontrunners have to be Al Pacino and Joe Pesci for their fantastic performances as the Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa and the coolly understated mobster Russell Bufalino in The Irishman. I reckon Pesci will get it – to a roar of pleasure from the assembled crowd.

Will win: Joe Pesci.

Should win: Joe Pesci.

Shoulda been a contender: Wesley Snipes (Dolemite Is My Name).

Best supporting actress

Jennifer Lopez started as an actor; do not rule out the possibility that she will be rewarded for her performance in the widely enjoyed raunchfest Hustlers, as the mentor-stripper who takes Constance Wu under her wing. Yet the Globe might well go Kathy Bates for her part as the everyman-hero’s mother in Clint Eastwood’s biopic drama Richard Jewell. Elsewhere, there is Margot Robbie for her (fictional) role in Bombshell; very uninhibited performance, and Robbie is not hampered like her co-stars by having to produce a quasi-impersonation of a real-life person. Annette Bening gives an intelligent, careful but uninspired performance inThe Report. But the winner here is surely Laura Dern, for her hilarious portrayal of a cunning divorce lawyer in Marriage Story.

Will win: Laura Dern.

Should win: Laura Dern.

Should have been a contender: Julia Butters (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood).

Best director

What on earth happened to Gerwig for Little Women? Or indeed Alma Har’el for Shia LaBeouf drama Honey Boy? At any rate, there are some heavy-hitters here: Mendes has a well-deserved nod for his superlative 1917, as do Scorsese and Tarantino. Perhaps the most notable nominee is the Korean film-maker Bong Joon-ho for his fascinating social satire Parasite; fast becoming the talking point of the 2020 awards season.


Will win: Martin Scorsese.

Should win: Martin Scorsese.

Should have been a contender: Greta Gerwig.

FILM: Vilka vinner årets Golden Globes?

Vilka vinner årets Golden Globes?

Nomineringarna, stjärnorna, värden... Här är allt du behöver veta inför 2020 års Golden Globe-gala som sänds på TV4 Play.

Hollywoodeliten har plockat fram fin-smokingen och glitterskorna. Röda mattan ska snart rullas ut för den 77:e Golden Globe-galan i Los Angeles. Vi har plockat fram en snabbguide med allt du behöver veta.

Vad? Årlig prisgala som är den största i sitt slag innan Oscars. Under den prestigefyllda kvällen hedras de bästa inom både film och tv från året som gått. Vinnarna koras av HFPA (Hollywood Foreign Press Association), som består av 90 journalister från världens alla hörn.

Vem leder? Ricky Gervais står för skämten och de vassa kommentarerna kvällens värd, ett jobb han sköter för femte gången. Gervais har sagt att det blir sista gången, och därmed kan allt hända... Han ledde galan första gången 2010.

Vem delar ut priser? Den stjärnspäckade kvällen kommer förgyllas av en lång rad prisutdelare. Margot Robbie, Rami Malek, Scarlett Johansson, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio och Daniel Craig är bara några av dem.

Vilka är nominerade? Netflix spås bli kvällens stora vinnare med 17 nomineringar i både film- och tv-klasser. Den mest nominerade filmen är "Marriage Story" av Noah Baumbach, med sex vinstchanser. Tarantinos "One Upon a Time in Hollywood" är inte lång efter med sina fem nomineringar. Vi håller också tummarna för en svensk vinst - Stellan Skarsgård är nominerad för tv-serien "Chernobyl". Se alla de nominerade här...

Var kan jag se galan? Inatt från 01 börjar sändningen online på TV4 Play. Själva galan sätter igång klockan 02 och väntar pågå runt tre timmar.

 

Lista: Alla nominerade på Golden Globe-galan 2020

Golden Globes 2020: Här är alla nominerade filmer och serier

"Marriage Story" leder med 6 nomineringar. "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" och "The Irishman" har 5 vardera.

Årets Golden Globe-nomineringar är här! Bland toppkandidaterna hittar vi omtalade titlar som "Joker" och "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", Netflix originalfilmer "The Irishman" och "Marriage Story", samt några som ännu inte har släppts, som "1917" och "Unga kvinnor".

På tv-fronten uppmärksammas serier som "Succession", "The Crown", "Big Little Lies" och Apples "The Morning Show". Johan Rencks miniserie "Chernobyl" kan också plocka några priser, bland annat för Stellan Skarsgård som bästa skådespelare. Värt att notera är att "Game of Thrones" sista säsong fick nöja sig med en ynka nominering, för Kit Harington. 

 

Dessutom har Meryl Streep slagit sitt egna rekord. Skådespelerskan, som redan är den mest Golden Globe-nominerade någonsin, plockade sin 32:a nominering för "Big Little Lies".

 

Galan kan du se live den 5 januari på TV4 Play.

2019 var ett fantastiskt år för fantastiska filmer — alltså filmer med fantasy-och-sci-fi inslag … 8 av 10 av världens mest framgångsrika filmer var fantasyfilmer. Sagoberättandet breder ut sig som aldrig förr på vita duken, vare sig inspirationen kommer från H.C. Andersen, H.G. Wells, Narnia eller Tusen och en natt …

Frozen II (Frost II)
Snödrottningen är tillbaka! Som en iskall och supercool superhjältedrottning som räddar världen och sätter stopp för den globala uppvärmningen … Snödrottningen Elsas bästa tid är nu!
Premiärpubliken var enig: Detta är Mycket bättre än ettan! Små killar säger att de vill bli som Elsa, små tjejer vill bli som Anna, och alla vill ha en vän som snögubben Olaf … Massor av magnifik musik i olika genrer. Elsa överträffar Let It Go med Into the Unknown. Kristoff får leverera en 1980-tals ballad. Anna får ta sig an kolonialismens arv och Olaf allt det ofattbara … Sedan är det ju fortfarande helfestligt med en ren som heter Sven! Även om han inte får sjunga en egen låt.

Jumanji: The Next Level
Narnia-världen behöver räddas igen! Fast här heter den hemliga världen Jumanji och portalen var först ett brädspel och sedan ett TV-spel. Hur länge du än är i fantasy världen så har ingen tid gått alls i den vanliga världen. Ännu roligare än förra gången! Med The Rock, Jack Black, Karen Gillian, Kevin Hart … och en härligt pigg Akwafina som ny avatar i spelet!

StarWars: The Rise of Skywalker
“Det är ju henne som hela sagan handlar om!” Sagt av 11-årig biobesökare som försöker förklara för farsan vem Rey är och vad alla nio Star Wars filmer går ut på …
Efter J.C., Luke Skywalker, Neo, Frodo, Harry Potter och en lång, lång, lång rad av manliga hjältar som alla är “den utvalde” … äntligen en tjej! Och de små biobesökarna tycker att det är helt naturligt och vill ta selfies med Rey … Det är bara att konstatera att det finns … A New Hope!

Fåret Shaun – Farmageddon
Aardman kan konsten att göra personlig, vacker, rolig och underfundig film som roar alla åldrar. Denna film går från Hem till gården till Ut i rymden och är en kärleksfull och lekfull hyllning till sci-fi genren. Från E.T. och Närkontakt av tredje graden till “H.G. Wheels” sci-fi klassiker.

Spider-Man: Far from Home
Som en tågluffartripp genom Europa, tillsammans med de gamla kompisarna.
Spider-Man-serien lyckas komma med ännu en lyckad high school komedi som har allt.
Jake Gyllenhaals skurkroll har drag både av demonregissör (I just want to get this right!) och Nightcrawler-psykopat … Allt är tillåtet för att höras över det allmänna mediabruset. Inklusive mord!

Aladdin
Flera olika lager med någonting för alla smaker … Ungefär som en chokladask. Matinéäventyr, magnifik musikal och charmig romcom som tål att jämföras med de största Bollywoodproduktionerna …
Den magiska mattan lyfter igen!

Lejonkungen
I just can’t wait to be king … När ett gaypar adopterar en liten lejonunge har de ingen aning om vilken Hamlet-historia de ger sig in på! Det har varit ett starkt år för Elton John på bio (Rocketman, Lejonkungen, The Favourite …). Lejonkungen är världens mest framgångsrika musikal … och i originalversion låter den gode gamle Lejonkungen Mufasa precis som Darth Vader.

Toy Story 4
Vissa franchises blir bara bättre med åren. Ungefär som antikviteter (eller antika leksaker?) som går upp i värde … För första gången ett riktigt filosofiskt äventyr, som handlar om vad det innebär att vara en leksak … eller snarare: Vad det innebär att vara levande.

Shazam!
En färgglad och icke-mörk film från DC! Den mest framgångsrika filmen någonsin (ekonomiskt sett) som har regisserats av en svensk regissör.
Vad gör förresten en tonårskille om han plötsligt ser ut att vara vuxen och får ofattbara superhjälte- krafter?! Svar: Han går och köper ut Bärs Lager. Och upptäcker att alkohol inte alls är lika gott som läsk och godis!

Avengers: Endgame
Slutet på The Tony Stark Saga. Förlåt, The Infinity Saga, ska det vara. Årets mest framgångsrika film.

Missing Link (Mysteriet med Herr Länk)
Snygg och fantasifull stop-motion animerad film. Vann en Golden Globe i kategorin bästa animerade film. Det är första gången som en film som inte är datoranimerad och som inte innehåller CGI-effekter vinner … Kors i taket! Fortsätter den här trenden kommer alla dedikerade pysslare att ha en framtid inom filmindustrin.

Miraï, min lillasyster
Massor av tidsresor och vacker animation i Studio Chizus alster från 2018. Sommaren 2019 gick denna film upp på svenska biografer. Golden Globe och Oscarsnominerad … första gången som detta har förärats en japansk animerad film som inte är från Studio Ghibli.

Röjar-Ralf kraschar Internet
Röjar-Ralf färdas till en värld dit ingen arkadspelskaraktär någonsin har färdats… Och han röjer som aldrig förr!

The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part
Bit-för-bit en lekfull drift med massor av sci-fi filmer … Från Mad Max till Tillbaka till framtiden. Intressanta perspektivbyten beroende på vem som leker med Lego-bitarna …

How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (Draktränaren 3)
Hiccup och hans kära drake ställs inför det största hotet någonsin — draken hittar en flickvän!
Detta är slutet på en franchise med massor av TV-serier och filmer, alla baserade på Cressida Cowells bästsäljande bokserie, och nu har alla karaktärerna vuxit upp. Slutet är både vackert och bitterljuvt — men definitivt mer slutgiltigt och mer tillfredsställande för alla fans än det som Game of Thrones levererade. Inga drakar avlivades i denna serie! Hurra!

Captain Marvel
En tjej, en katt, ett rymdskepp och ett ondskefullt hot … Nej, det är inte Alien, det är Captain Marvel!
En prequel som utspelar sig på 1990-talet och som introducerar en ny superhjältinna med hitintills oanade superkrafter. Hennes roll i Avengers: Endgame är att rädda Tony Stark, så att han sedan kan få rädda hela universum.

Hedersomnämnade till:
Den förskräcklige snömannen. Smallfoot, Missing Link, Abominable … Hela tre olika filmer har handlat om olika snömän. Ingen snöman är dock så charmig som “the snowman” Olaf. Do you wanna build a franchise? Se då till att hjälten inte smälter bort under sommaren!
