Barbie has topped the list of nominees for Hollywood’s Golden Globe awards with nine nods, outpacing the eight for the historical drama, Oppenheimer.
The Greta Gerwig-directed, pink-fuelled doll adventure will compete for best comedy or musical film alongside American Fiction, The Holdovers and others at a red-carpet ceremony in January that will kick off the Hollywood awards season.
Oppenheimer, starring Cillian Murphy as the man behind the creation of the atomic bomb, will face off with Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro and others for best drama film.
Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon tells the story of the murder of Native Americans in Oklahoma in the 1920s. Bradley Cooper plays composer Leonard Bernstein in Maestro and also directed the film.
Barbie, a vivid “feminist” satire about the all-conquering line of plastic dolls, will compete for best musical or comedy picture. Its actors, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, and three of its original songs have also been nominated.
Barbie tied for second-most nominations in Globes’ history with Cabaret (1972). Robert Altman’s Nashville remains the record-holder with 11 nominations.
Oppenheimer, a critically acclaimed drama about the inventor of the nuclear bomb, has been nominated in the best drama picture category. Its main actors – Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr and Emily Blunt – have also been nominated.
