Golden Globes deem Barbenheimer and Succession as IT girls
The recently announced Golden Globe nominations have sparked excitement with three standout works capturing the attention of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association: Barbie, Oppenheimer, and Succession. The combination of Barbie and Oppenheimer, affectionately referred to as "Barbenheimer," has generated significant buzz as fans eagerly discuss the best viewing order for these highly anticipated films.
Contrastingly, Jesse Armstrong's Succession has been garnering widespread attention since its 2018 debut. The recent Golden Globes nominations resulted in a combined total of 26 nominations for all three projects.
"Barbie" received nine Golden Globe nominations, leading the pack, while "Oppenheimer" followed with eight. In the television categories, "Succession" topped the list with nine nominations.
Barbie was nominated for Best Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, while Oppenheimer has a chance to win the award for Best Drama Motion Picture. Both films are also up for the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement category.
Succession's main male cast, including Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin, Jeremy Strong, Matthew Macfadyen, and Alan Ruck, were all nominated, with only two women, Sarah Snook and J. Smith Cameron, being acknowledged.

Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I am thrilled to see Barbie and Oppenheimer leading the nominations at the Golden Globes. These films represent a departure from the typical winter-set films and apocalyptic-themed shows that often dominate this time of year. Barbie, in particular, has generated a lot of buzz and anticipation among my peers, and I can't wait to see how it fares at the awards ceremony.
On the other hand, I am disappointed by the lack of female representation in the nominations for Succession. Despite the show's critical acclaim, only two women, Sarah Snook and J. Smith Cameron, were nominated, while all the main male cast members received nods. This highlights the ongoing issue of gender inequality in the entertainment industry, and I hope that future award ceremonies will do a better job of recognizing the contributions of women.
