Richard Linklater Trusts Netflix on This Whole Buying Warner Bros. Thing
"Heading into this week's Golden Globes nominations, certain movies, certain filmmakers ( cough James Cameron), and, more centrally, certain A-list celebrities seemed all but guaranteed invitations to Hollywood's booziest annual awards bacchanalia. Timothée Chalamet and Dwayne Johnson for their career-making star turns in Marty Supreme and The Smashing Machine, respectively? Of course they made the nominations list. Avatar: Fire and Ash for the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement award? Check."
"Richard Linklater, despite being responsible for two tiny but critically beloved movies that quietly reached screens this fall, was almost nobody's shoo-in to get Globes love. The Texan writer-director shocked many awards pundits on Monday morning when both of his 2025 films landed on the Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy list: the spirited Lorenz Hart biopic (released by Sony Pictures Classics) and the rollicking homage to French New Wave cinema Nouvelle Vague (on Netflix)."
Several widely expected nominees and high-profile films garnered Golden Globe attention, including Timothée Chalamet and Dwayne Johnson for Marty Supreme and The Smashing Machine, and Avatar: Fire and Ash for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement. Richard Linklater earned surprise recognition with two Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy nominations for his 2025 films: a spirited Lorenz Hart biopic and the black-and-white, French-language Nouvelle Vague. The Lorenz Hart film features Ethan Hawke as a troubled, alcoholic Hart wrestling with erotic longings and faltering prospects. Linklater previously won Golden Globes in 2015 and earned Academy Award nominations for his long-term coming-of-age drama.
