Marlon Wayans and Skye P. Marshall did the nomination honors this year, both looking very polished. Skye’s giant arm warmers are hilarious and sadly I think the podium blocked them while she did her work, so we didn’t get to see them flapping around in the breeze. Marshall herself, and Matlock, did not get recognized, but Kathy Bates did, so there’s that; Marlon was in Him, a supernatural thriller, which also didn’t get a nod, though I don’t think it was really in the conversation? I often think they pick people for this who are more adjacent to the conversation than in it.
On that tip, per the headline, I have no idea whether Gwyneth Paltrow was even realistically in the conversation for Marty Supreme, but the most Golden Globes thing ever would have been nominating her anyway just to ensure she showed up. (Especially because they DID nominate Julia Roberts for After the Hunt for presumably similar reasons, even though that movie is NOT well-liked.) But no! No GOOP! Also no Best Picture nod for Wicked II, which must sting especially because there is a whole musical/comedy category and yet the only “musical” in it is Richard Linklater’s film about Lorenz Hart and him grappling with the success of Richard Rodgers’ Oklahoma! And Nouvelle Vague got a nomination, but nothing for Zoey Deutch’s performance as Jean Seberg in it, which I think has to be a disappointment to her. Also this means Linklater is nominated against himself.
The Critics Choice Awards actually come up first, and they apparently released their nominees while I was looking the other way, so maybe I will post those later for comparison. Either way, GET READY, awards season is nigh (and we will be doing all our usual live chats, plus the Olympics, on Drinks With Broads).
Let’s dive in. The TV nominees are listed after all of the film nominees, the last of which is the song category, so you can search for Miley Cyrus if you want to jump down there and get right to television.
Best Motion Picture – Drama
Frankenstein (Netflix) Hamnet (Focus Features)
It Was Just an Accident (Neon)
The Secret Agent (Neon)
Sentimental Value (Neon)
Sinners (Warner Bros. Pictures)
Glad to see Sinners in there, and It Was Just An Accident is supposed to be fantastic.
Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy
Blue Moon (Sony Pictures Classics)
Bugonia (Focus Features)
Marty Supreme (A24)
No Other Choice (Neon)
Nouvelle Vague (Netflix)
One Battle After Another (Warner Bros. Pictures)
Kevin, who has seen several of these: “I GUESS it had comedic elements but I thought Bugonia was actually really sad.”
Best Motion Picture – Animated
Arco (Neon)
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Infinity Castle (Aniplex, Crunchyroll, Sony Pictures Entertainment)
Elio (Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures)
Kpop Demon Hunters (Netflix)
Little Amélie or the Character of Rain (Gkids)
Zootopia 2 (Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures)
Zootopia made a late splash here but surely this is the demon hunters’ to lose.

Avatar: Fire and Ash (Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures)
F1 (Apple Original Films)
Kpop Demon Hunters (Netflix)
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (Paramount Pictures)
Sinners (Warner Bros. Pictures)

Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama
Jessie Buckley (Hamnet)
Jennifer Lawrence (Die My Love)
Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value)
Julia Roberts (After the Hunt)
Tessa Thompson (Hedda)
Eva Victor (Sorry, Baby)
I assume this is Jessie Buckley’s to lose.
Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama
Joel Edgerton (Train Dreams)
Oscar Isaac (Frankenstein)
Dwayne Johnson (The Smashing Machine)
Michael B. Jordan (Sinners)
Wagner Moura (The Secret Agent)
Jeremy Allen White (Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere)
Of course they nominated The Rock. He IS supposed to be good, even though that’s another movie people on-balance did not like. Ditto the Springsteen movie and JAW. They DO like Train Dreams, apparently, but I’m so sorry, I do not respond to Joel Edgerton as a performer at all. He is a vacuum. Like, I could be watching him IN a movie and simultaneously forget he exists. Rooting for Oscar Isaac or MBJ here.
Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy
Rose Byrne (If I Had Legs I’d Kick You)
Cynthia Erivo (Wicked: For Good)
Kate Hudson (Song Sung Blue)
Chase Infiniti (One Battle After Another)
Amanda Seyfried (The Testament of Ann Lee)
Emma Stone (Bugonia)
Well, Hugh Jackman said Kate Hudson is gonna win the Oscar, so! I forgot The Testament of Ann Lee is a musical; I was too busy covering my head and screaming when I read that they made FOUR DIFFERENT CHILDBIRTH PROSTHETICS for her painful birth scenes. Erivo may be inevitable for her body of work in both movies, but Rose Byrne or Chase Infiniti would be fun.
Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy
Timothée Chalamet (Marty Supreme)
George Clooney (Jay Kelly)
Leonardo Dicaprio (One Battle After Another)
Ethan Hawke (Blue Moon)
Lee Byung-Hun (No Other Choice)
Jesse Plemons (Bugonia)
Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture
Emily Blunt (The Smashing Machine)
Elle Fanning (Sentimental Value)
Ariana Grande (Wicked: For Good)
Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas (Sentimental Value)
Amy Madigan (Weapons)
Teyana Taylor (One Battle After Another)
Another day, another Emily Blunt nomination that I’m not sure she really deserves. I am also not at all a fan of Ariana Grande’s work as Glinda — she’s like a Cosplay Bot; I can see every time her programming tells her to widen her eyes, tilt her head, blink, squeak out a tear — but to be fair, I haven’t seen the second movie yet. I just can’t imagine her performance is all that different given that they filmed them together. Good for Teyana Taylor, though, and how fun to see Amy Madigan in there.
Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture
Benicio Del Toro (One Battle After Another)
Jacob Elordi (Frankenstein)
Paul Mescal (Hamnet)
Sean Penn (One Battle After Another)
Adam Sandler (Jay Kelly)
Stellan Skarsgård (Sentimental Value)
I grunted, “Can we put Sean Penn down,” before realizing that’s sort of halfway a pen pun. A Penn Punn. Sandler and Stellan are fun here, but I wonder if Jacob Elordi will sneak it.
Best Director – Motion Picture
Paul Thomas Anderson (One Battle After Another)
Ryan Coogler (Sinners)
Guillermo Del Toro (Frankenstein)
Jafar Panahi (It Was Just an Accident)
Joachim Trier (Sentimental Value)

Best Television Series – Drama
The Diplomat (Netflix)
The Pitt (HBO Max)
Pluribus (Apple TV)
Severance (Apple TV)
Slow Horses (Apple TV)
The White Lotus (HBO Max)
This list is pretty damn sturdy! Should have The Bear on it, obviously.
Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy
Abbott Elementary (ABC)
The Bear (FX on Hulu)
Hacks (HBO Max)
Nobody Wants This (Netflix)
Only Murders in the Building (Hulu)
The Studio (Apple TV)
The Studio will win, but I wish it wouldn’t. Justice for Abbott! In general. It deserves like ONE more season of winning everything in sight.

Adolescence (Netflix)
All Her Fault (Peacock)
The Beast In Me (Netflix)
Black Mirror (Netflix)
Dying for Sex (FX on Hulu)

Kathy Bates (Matlock)
Britt Lower (Severance)
Helen Mirren (Mobland)
Bella Ramsey (The Last of Us)
Keri Russell (The Diplomat)
Rhea Seehorn (Pluribus)
Mobland? Really? Okay! I mean, maybe she’s great. And I don’t know what I’d put in that spot instead this year, if we can’t try and scoot a White Lotus person in there to free up space in that category. Probably Ayo Edebiri!!!! Except.
Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Series – Drama
Sterling K. Brown (Paradise)
Diego Luna (Andor)
Gary Oldman (Slow Horses)
Mark Ruffalo (Task)
Adam Scott (Severance)
Noah Wyle (The Pitt)
Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy
Kristen Bell (Nobody Wants This)
Ayo Edebiri (The Bear)
Selena Gomez (Only Murders In the Building)
Natasha Lyonne (Poker Face)
Jenna Ortega (Wednesday)
Jean Smart (Hacks)
No Quinta! Also Jenna Ortega is so muggy in Wednesday; I’d put Quinta in that slot.
Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy
Adam Brody (Nobody Wants This)
Steve Martin (Only Murders in the Building)
Glen Powell (Chad Powers)
Seth Rogen (The Studio)
Martin Short (Only Murders in the Building)
Jeremy Allen White (The Bear)
CHAD. POWERS. I need to go back in and finish that. It wasn’t as bad as I expected it to be, but also, it’s… sort of bad? And he’s kind of bad in it? But it seems intentional? He is not going to win. They surely just want him in the building.
Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television
Claire Danes (The Beast in Me)
Rashida Jones (Black Mirror)
Amanda Seyfried (Long Bright River)
Sarah Snook (All Her Fault)
Michelle Williams (Dying for Sex)
Robin Wright (The Girlfriend)
Michelle’s to lose. And I have not heard anything good about The Beast In Me.
Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television
Jacob Elordi (The Narrow Road to the Deep North)
Paul Giamatti (Black Mirror)
Stephen Graham (Adolescence)
Charlie Hunnam (Monster: The Ed Gein Story)
Jude Law (Black Rabbit)
Matthew Rhys (The Beast in Me)
Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role on Television
Carrie Coon (The White Lotus)
Erin Doherty (Adolescence)
Hannah Einbinder (Hacks)
Catherine O’Hara (The Studio)
Parker Posey (The White Lotus)
Aimee Lou Wood (The White Lotus)
Look, I enjoy The White Lotus, but I am offended for Jenny Slate, Allison Janney, and Katherine LaNasa that they are not in here. To make this happen, I would subtract Catherine O’Hara, Aimee Lou Wood, and Parker Posey. And, because there is no drama/comedy split here, no one from Abbott got in, either. How do we fit in Sheryl Lee Ralph and Janelle James??? Dammit! Can I subtract ALL of these people? Or just… let’s have eight nominees.
Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role on Television
Owen Cooper (Adolescence)
Billy Crudup (The Morning Show)
Walton Goggins (The White Lotus)
Jason Isaacs (The White Lotus)

Best Podcast
Armchair Expert With Dax Shepard (Wondery)
Call Her Daddy (SiriusXM)
Good Hang With Amy Poehler (Spotify)
The Mel Robbins Podcast (SiriusXM)
Smartless (SiriusXM)
Up First (NPR)
Mel Robbins? That grifter? Hard pass. I am not a big podcast fan, with the lone exception of Amy Poehler’s, which is warm and wonderful and I could listen to her all day. So I’m rooting for her, apparently! I do enjoy that it’s Poehler vs. Arnett in here. I am SHOCKED they didn’t nominate the Kelce brothers to try and lure them to the ceremony; maybe someone pointed out that Taylor would not attend AND that Travis might still be playing football, although frankly, the post-season is not looking so likely for the Chiefs right now, toooo bad so sad.
