“Barbie” was off to the awards-season races Monday with a leading nine nominations for the Golden Globes, the embattled Hollywood institution that itself is trying to win back an audience and find a path to relevancy.

Director Greta Gerwig’s pretty-in-pink film was followed closely by its pop culture companion, Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer,” which scored eight nominations. Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” and Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things” each earned seven nods. In TV categories, “Succession” led with nine nominations, followed by “The Bear” and “Only Murders in the Building,” which each had five.

The Golden Globes for years was seen as the free-wheeling and often more entertaining alternative to the Oscars and Emmys. But the show spiraled into a credibility crisis following a 2021 L.A. Times investigation that revealed the awards’ parent organization, the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn., had no Black members. The Times also uncovered questionable ethical and financial practices. With survival of the Globes in question, the HFPA was dissolved and the awards show acquired by billionaire Todd Boehly’s private equity firm and Penske Media, publisher of Variety and the Hollywood Reporter.

Just last month CBS picked up the broadcasting rights. The ceremony, to be held Jan. 7 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, will air on CBS and Paramount +.

The revamped Golden Globes now has a voting body of 300 members from 75 countries, President Helen Hoehne said during the nominations livestream. The 2024 awards will also debut two new categories: cinematic and box office achievement in motion pictures and best stand-up comedian on television.

This year the Globes show faces a major challenge from the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Buoyed by a difficult but fruitful strike that yielded major wage gains for unionized actors, SAG will have a much stronger presence in awards season thanks to Netflix, which will stream the ceremony for the first time. The awards, to be held at the Shrine Auditorium in L.A., will air live at 5 p.m. Pacific on Feb. 24.
