Snub: Best Musical/Comedy
It was quite a shocker to see several hit musicals, including The Color Purple, The Little Mermaid, and Wonka shot out of the best comedy or musical field to make room for No Hard Feelings starring Jennifer Lawrence.
Surprise: Foreign Films Make a Cut
It was quite refreshing to see foreign films Anatomy of a Fall and The Zone of Interest, receive nods for the best drama film, while Fallen Leaves’ Alma Pöysti even broke into the competitive acting field.
Snub: Abbot Elementary Stars
Abbott Elementary will be in the running for the best comedy/musical series this year, but Quinta Brunson is the only member of its ensemble cast to receive an acting nod.
Surprise: Saltburn Love
Barry Keoghan and Rosamund Pike received acting nods for their performances in Saltburn, with the latter even booting front-runners Viola Davis (Air) and America Ferrera (Barbie) out of the star-studded best supporting actress field.
Snub: Harrison Ford
The HFPA has a habit of showering A-list stars with love, but they still gave Harrison Ford zero nominations this year, showing no love for his performances in 1923 and Shrinking.

Fantasia Barrino
The film’s leading lady Fantasia Barrino hit the red carpet in a dramatic black and white custom ensemble from Sergio Hudson, featuring a polka-dot blazer and a matching skirt with a long train.
Alicia Keys
Purple dresses were having a moment at the film’s premiere, but Alicia Keys still managed to stand out in her whimsical gown by one of the fashion industry’s most inventive designers, Iris Van Herpen.
H.E.R.
Speaking of purple dresses that stole the show at The Color Purple premiere, H.E.R. looked dreamy in her ombré pleated chiffon off-the-shoulder gown by Pamella Roland.
Taraji P. Henson
Black and white dresses were also having a moment at The Color Purple premiere, and Taraji P. Henson embraced this trend. She hit the red carpet in the elaborate Vlora Mustafa gown with a structural white plissé top.
Halle Bailey
Halle Bailey turned heads in a ruffled multi-layered maroon gown and later thanked Off-White for making this statement dress with her in mind.

]]>From Tick, Tick… Boom! to In the Heights, several beloved musicals have been adapted into films in recent years—and these adaptations are just getting bigger and bigger! Several iconic Broadway musicals will soon get a Hollywood treatment and here are three that we’re most excited about.
The Color Purple
The Color Purple draws inspiration from Alice Walker’s iconic book of the same name, but it’s not your classic adaptation. It’s actually based on the stage musical that put an interesting twist on its original story about the life-long struggles of an African-American woman living in the South during the early 20th century.
Mean Girls: The Musical
Mean Girls is one of the most iconic teen comedies of the 2000s, and it was just a matter of time before we got a Gen-Z version with a new cast. This film won’t be a direct remake because it’s mostly based on the stage musical of the same name, but the expectations are running high since Tina Fey returned to write the script.
Wicked
The Wicked adaptation was a long time coming since it’s one of the most impactful Broadway musicals of the 21st century. Jon M. Chu decided to adapt it into two films, led by Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda, set to come out in 2024 and 2025.
