LOS ANGELES :Movie dramas"The Power of the Dog" and"Belfast" led nominations on Monday for the annual Golden Globe in a year clouded by controversy and a scaled-down ceremony.
Critics objected to the HFPA having no Black members and raised longstanding ethical questions over whether close relationships with Hollywood studios influenced the choice of nominees and winners. Tom Cruise returned the three Golden Globe statuettes that he won. Despite these moves, major film and TV studios have tried to distance themselves from the honors and did not submit programming for consideration as they have in the past.
A musical take on the classic"Cyrano" and an adaptation of the Off-Broadway hit"Tick, Tick... Boom" will compete with"Don't Look Up,""Licorice Pizza" and"West Side Story" for best musical or comedy.
