T he Golden Globe awards are being televised live this year on NBC, on Sunday, Jan. 6, at 8 p.m. Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg, 40, will host. Below are the confirmed Jewish nominees and a number of Jews closely connected to a nominated film or TV program. Globes are given for excellence in TV , as well as in film. FILM CATEGORIES No Jewish thespians were nominat- ed for a leading actor/actress film role. Timothée Chalamet (Beautiful Boy), 22, is up for the best supporting actor Globe and Rachel Weisz (The Favourite), 48, is a best supporting film actress nominee. Chalamet’ s role was based on the real-life Nic Sheff, now 36, who long battled drug addiction. Weisz played Lady Sarah Churchill, a historical figure who was involved in 18th-century royal court intrigue. Mark Ronson, 43, is nominated for co-writing a best song nomi- nee: “Shallow” from A Star is Born. Nominated for best original score are Justin Hurwitz (First Man), 33, and Marc Shaiman (Mary Poppins Returns), 59. Hurwitz won two Oscars in 2017 for best score and best song (La La Land). Shaiman is best known for his score for the musical version of Hairspray. As noted in a recent column, brief musi- cal references are made in the Poppins remake to the mega-hit score of the original 1964 Poppins film. Richard Sherman, 90, who wrote the ’ 64 score with his late brother, Robert, consulted on the new Poppins film. TV CATEGORIES Acting: Sacha Baron Cohen (Who is America?), 47, and Michael Douglas (The Kominsky Method), 74, vie for the Globe for best actor in a comedy. The varied characters Cohen plays frequent- ly spoof real-life politicians. Douglas stars as Sandy Kominsky, an L.A. acting coach; two Jewish actresses, Alison Brie (Glow), 35, and Debra Messing (Will & Grace), 50, compete for best actress, TV comedy; Alan Arkin, 84, who plays Kominsky’ s (Jewish) agent and best friend in The Kominsky Method, is up for best supporting actor.

My practice is to note if a Jewish director or writer/creator is associated with that film or TV program. Two films nominated for best drama film were co-written by Jews: BlacKkKlansman (Charlie Wachtel and David Rabinowitz, both 32) and A Star is Born (Eric Roth, 73).

It competes with Pose, an FX drama series that explores several New York City sub-cultures as they existed in the 1980s. Pose was co-created by Brad Falchuk, 47. Another best drama nominee, the Amazon series Homecoming was based on a podcast written by Eli Horowitz, 41, and Micah Bloomberg, 40ish. Horowitz and Bloomberg were heavily involved in the creation of the TV series. The best musical or com- edy series nominees include The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, co-created by Amy Sherman Palladino, 52, and The Kominsky Method, cre- ated by Chuck Lorre, 66.
