Golden Globes 2023: The sci-fi and fantasy fan viewers guide to this year's nominees

Awards season has arrived and this year's genre contenders are hopeful for a bit of time in the spotlight. With the 80th Annual Golden Globe Awards hitting NBC and Peacock this week, SYFY WIRE has compiled an essential guide to all of the sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and action flicks up for the gold.

A24's Everything Everywhere All at Once ranks at the top of the cinematic hopefuls with an impressive six nominations: Best Picture - Musical/Comedy, Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy (Michelle Yeoh), Best Supporting Actress - Motion Picture (Jamie Lee Curtis), Best Supporting Actor - Motion Picture (Ke Huy Quan), Best Director - Motion Picture (Daniel Kawn & Daniel Scheinert), and Best Screenplay (Daniel Kawn & Daniel Scheinert).

Universal's The Fabelmans is a close second with five: Best Picture - Drama, Best Actress - Motion Picture - Drama (Michelle Williams), Best Director - Motion Picture (Steven Spielberg), Best Screenplay (Steven Spielberg & Tony Kushner), and Best Original Score (John Williams).

Despite opening less than a month ago, Avatar: The Way of Water could take home two prizes for Best Picture - Drama and Best Director - Motion Picture (James Cameron). Speaking of long-awaited sequels, Top Gun: Maverick is also vying for two awards: Best Picture - Drama and Best Original Song.

Like its 2018 predecessor, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is looking to bring an unprecedented level of filmmaking prestige to the comic book genre with nominations for Best Supporting Actress - Motion Picture (Angela Bassett) and Best Original Song.

The remaining live-action competitors include Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery and The Menu. Rian Johnson's follow-up to his 2019 whodunit has been nominated for Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy and Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy (Daniel Craig). The Menu, on the other hand, could gobble up victories for Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy (Ralph Fiennes) and Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy (Anya Taylor-Joy).

And then comes animation with Guillermo del Toro's stop-motion take on Pinocchio at the forefront with three nominations: Best Picture - Animation, Best Original Score (Alexandre Desplat), and Best Original Song. Turning Red, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, Inu-Oh, and Marcel the Shell with Shoes On may depose del Toro in the Best Picture - Animation category.

On the small screen side of the spectrum, Apple's Severance leads the genre programming with a total of three nods: Best Drama Series, Best Television Actor Drama Series (Adam Scott), and Best Supporting Actor - Television Series (John Turturro).

Netflix's Wednesday and HBO's House of the Dragon are both tied with two nominations. The former, which was just renewed for a second season, is up for Best Comedy or Musical Series and Best Television Actress - Musical/Comedy series (Jenna Ortega). The Game of Thrones prequel, meanwhile, has nods for Best Drama Series and Best Television Actress - Drama Series (Emma D’Arcy).

Disney's Rogue One prequel, the critically acclaimed Andor, nabbed a single nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series Drama (Diego Luna). According to Comic Book Resources, this is the first Golden Globe nomination for a Star Wars actor since Sir Alec Guinness played Obi-Wan Kenobi in A New Hope more than 40 years ago. It's also the first-ever nod for a leading role in the galactic franchise.

The 80th annual Golden Globe Awards will concurrently air on NBC and Peacock tomorrow (Tuesday, Jan. 10) at 8 p.m. EST.
