Jacques Audiard鈥檚 audacious musical 鈥淓milia P茅rez,鈥 about a Mexican drug lord who undergoes gender affirming surgery to become a woman, led nominations to the 82nd Golden Globes on Dec. 9, scoring 10 nods to lead it over other contenders like the musical smash 鈥淲icked,鈥 the papal thriller 鈥淐onclave鈥, and the post-war epic 鈥淭he Brutalist.鈥

The embattled Globes, which are no longer presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, are still in comeback mode after years of scandal and organizational upheaval. Working in the Globes favor this year: an especially starry field of nominees. Zendaya, Timoth茅e Chalamet, Angelina Jolie, Daniel Craig, Denzel Washington, Ariana Grande, Glen Powell, and Selena Gomez all scored nominations.
The young Donald Trump drama 鈥淭he Apprentice鈥 also landed nominations for its two central performances, by Sebastian Stan as Mr. Trump and Jeremy Strong as Roy Cohn. The president elect has called 鈥淭he Apprentice鈥 a 鈥減olitically disgusting hatchet job鈥 made by 鈥榟uman scum.鈥

What鈥檚 new this year?
Last year, the Globes introduced two new categories that remain this time around: the cinematic and box office achievement award and the best performance in stand-up comedy on television. One tweak this time comes in the lifetime achievement awards. This year, those are going to Ted Danson (for the Carol Burnett Award) and Viola Davis (for the Cecil B. DeMille Award). Those will be handed out in a gala dinner on Jan. 3, several days before the Globes.
What鈥檚 the deal with the Golden Globes, anyway?
The Globes aren鈥檛 ever quite drama-free, but things have settled down for the embattled awards body. Last year鈥檚 Globes were the first after the disbanding of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and their acquisition by Dick Clark Productions and billionaire Todd Boehly鈥檚 private equity firm Eldridge Industries. However, earlier this fall, the Ankler reported that former members of the HFPA filed a letter with the California Attorney General鈥檚 office questioning 鈥渢he validity of the purchase.鈥
