The new diversity-sensitive HFPA's Golden Globe noms look suspiciously like those that could have come from the old no-diversity HFPA.
The best picture noms for Drama & for Musical or Comedy and for Director show virtually no diversity. And there's only one drama nom with a female-centric storyline --
TÁR, the musical bio-drama starring
Cate Blanchett (a Globes actress-drama nominee).
The HFPA's other drama noms don't reflect diversity:
AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER,
ELVIS,
THE FABELMANS &
TOP GUN: MAVERICK.
Among the films with diversity that aren't up for best picture: are
BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER,
TILL (with no best actress-drama nod for
Danielle Deadwyler despite her Oscar buzz) &
THE WOMAN KING.
As for Musical or Comedy noms, only one nominee has some diversity -- the action-adventure comedy
EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE, starring Michelle Yeoh (a Globes actress-Musical or Comedy nominee).
The other Musical or Comedy noms lack diversity:
BABYLON, THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN,
GLASS ONION: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY &
TRIANGLE OF SADNESS.
The HFPA's directing noms are not big on diversity:
James Cameron (AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER),
Baz Luhrmann (ELVIS),
Martin McDonagh (
THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN), Daniel Kwan & Daniel Scheinert (EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE) &
Steven Spielberg (THE FABELMANS).
Among the missing female directors: are
Chinonye Chukwu (
TILL), Sarah Polley
(WOMEN TALKING), Gina Prince-Bythewood (
THE WOMAN KING) &
Maria Schrader (SHE SAID).
