Greta Gerwig’s Barbie dominated the Golden Globe Awards nominations with nine nods for the blockbuster film, including best picture musical or comedy as well as acting nominations for Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling and three of its original songs.

It was closely followed by its release date and meme companion Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, which scored eight nominations, including best picture drama and for actors Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr and Emily Blunt.

In a statement, Gerwig said she “can’t wait to bring the Barbie party to the Globes”.

The revamped group, now a for-profit endeavour with a larger and more diverse voting body, announced nominations Monday for its January awards show after scandal and several troubled years, including one without a broadcast.

Cedric the Entertainer and Wilmer Valderrama presided over the announcements from the Beverly Hilton Hotel, where the show will also take place on January 7.

Films nominated for best motion picture drama include Oppenheimer, Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, Bradley Cooper’s Maestro, Celine Song’s Past Lives, Justine Triet’s Anatomy of a Fall, and Jonathan Glazer’s The Zone of Interest.

In the best motion picture musical or comedy category, Barbie is joined by Air, American Fiction, The Holdovers, May December, and Poor Things.

Netflix got the most nominations overall, with 13 total for a slate which include Maestro, May December and Rustin, followed by Warner Bros., which made Barbie and The Color Purple with 12.
