The 2024 Golden Globe nominees are here, and this year everybody is still living in a Barbie world. Pipping its biggest rival at the ceremony this year, Oppenheimer, to take most nominations, Greta Gerwig, Margot Robbie, and Ryan Gosling are the vanguard when it comes to all things genre.

Barbie secured nine nominations to Oppenheimer’s eight across the board at the 81st Golden Globes to become the most-represented project, with nods for Greta Gerwig in Best Director, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in the Best Actress in a Film (Musical or Comedy) and Best Supporting Actor in a Film respectively, among its biggest nods.

Other genre highlights in the film side of things include Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things bringing in a respectable 7 nominees, and a stacked Best Animated category including the likes of The Boy and the Heron and Suzume alongside Across the Spider-Verse and The Super Mario Bros. Movie (although, frankly, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem was robbed there). On the TV side of things genre fare only has one real big hitter in The Last of Us’ three nods for Best Television Series (Drama), as well as leads Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey in their respective actor categories. Check out the full list of nominations below—the winners will be announced in just under a month on January 7.
