The 2024 Golden Globes celebrated outstanding achievements in film and television (and our Trevor Noah even got a nomination).
California, United States of America (08 January 2024) – As the first glimmers of dawn broke across South Africa this morning, the illustrious 81st annual Golden Globes unfurled from the iconic Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California.
A cascade of stars, glittering gowns, and exhilarating anticipation marked this grand soirée, hosted by the inimitable comedian Jo Koy. While the glamour and glitz were palpable, what truly stole the show were the outstanding achievements in cinema and television that illuminated the past year.
“Barbie” and “Succession” emerged as the front-runners, each entering the night with a staggering nine nominations. While “Barbie” danced its way into the Best Musical or Comedy Motion Picture category, “Succession” held its ground in the esteemed Best Television Drama Series category. The sheer brilliance and craftsmanship displayed in these productions make them not just nominees but milestones in storytelling. Not far behind, “Oppenheimer,” part of the box office sensation known as Barbenheimer, clinched eight nominations, setting pulses racing in the Best Drama Motion Picture category. This cinematic gem locked horns with formidable contenders like Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” and Bradley Cooper’s Leonard Bernstein biography, “Maestro.” The fierce competition only serves to highlight the richness and diversity of storytelling that captivated audiences worldwide.
In a laudable move, the Golden Globes expanded its horizons this year by introducing two new categories: “Cinematic and Box Office Achievement in Motion Pictures” and “Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy or Television.”
Our very own Johannesburg-born Trevor Noah graced the latter category, receiving a nomination that filled our hearts with pride and joy. Though the accolade eluded him this time, his indelible mark on the international stage remains unparalleled. Trevor’s past triumphs, including a Primetime Emmy and multiple NAACP Image Awards, illuminate the path he continues to carve in the entertainment realm.
