Mr.Shelby Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-59635607 Benedict Cumberbatch plays a menacing cowboy in The Power of the Dog Sir Kenneth Branagh's autobiographical film Belfast and The Power of the Dog, a Benedict Cumberbatch-starring Western, lead the nominations for the controversy-hit Golden Globe Awards. The two movies are up for seven prizes each, including best drama film. The Globes are usually the highest-profile awards except the Oscars, but January's ceremony won't be televised. TV network NBC dropped it after a series of revelations including a lack of diversity among voters. Earlier this year, it was revealed that none of the 87 members of the secretive organisation behind the awards - the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) - were black. A coalition of 100 Hollywood PR firms accused the organisation of "discriminatory behaviour, unprofessionalism, ethical impropriety and alleged financial corruption", saying they would advise the stars they represent not to work with the HFPA. The HFPA membership and rules have been overhauled, but it remains to be seen whether any of this year's nominees will withdraw as a result of the controversy.
