Maverick and Elvis are going head to head for the best picture award in the 2022 Golden Globes.

“Maverick: Top Gun” and “Elvis,” along with “Avatar” The Way of Water,” “The Fabelmans,” and “Tar,” were nominated for the Golden Globes best picture – drama award, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced Monday.

“Babylon,” “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery,” “Triangle of Sadness” and “The Banshees of Inisherin” were nominated in the best picture – musical or comedy category.

After a 2021 controversy over diversity issues and ethical standards in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the Golden Globes’ redemption tour took its next step Monday, with Selenis Leyva and Mayan Lopez from NBC’s “Lopez vs. Lopez” announcing the nominees for the 80th annual awards.

Leyva and Lopez at the Beverly Hilton hotel made the early-morning reveals of the five nominees in each of 27 of categories in film and television — nominations that could be harder to predict than in previous years, as the HFPA has added more than 100 new voters in response to last year’s flap.

The 80th Golden Globes are scheduled for Jan. 10 at the Beverly Hilton — with comedian Jerrod Carmichael hosting and the show returning to live TV on NBC and Peacock.

The in-person ceremony was largely scrubbed last year, and the telecast canceled, following the uproar over revelations of the lack of diversity among the HFPA’s ranks and continued questions about the organization’s ethical standards.

As first reported by the Los Angeles Times, of the HFPA’s 87 voting members in 2020, none were Black.

Over the past year, the HFPA has overhauled its leadership, bylaws and membership, adding more than 100 new voters to its ranks — more than doubling the organization’s previous size.

According to the association, Globe voters are now 52% female and 51.5% racially and ethnically diverse — with 19.5% Latinx, 12% Asian, 10% Black and 10% Middle Eastern.

Last year’s awards were presented in a small-scale event with no live stream or telecast.

It’s unclear how many people might attend the upcoming ceremony, as the HFPA was shunned by much of the entertainment world following last year’s controversy, and some celebrities and studios publicly disassociated themselves from the HFPA.

But association officials are hoping they’ve turned a page and restored luster to the Globes — traditionally the kickoff event of the Hollywood awards season — following the NFPA’s sweeping reorganization.

“We’re so excited to have Jerrod Carmichael host the historic 80th Golden Globe Awards. His comedic talents have entertained and thrilled audiences while providing thought-provoking moments that are so important in the times we live,” said Helen Hoehne, president of the HFPA.
