“Crazy Rich Asians” was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture-Musical or Comedy, and star Constance Wu was nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture-Musical or Comedy. Wu also received a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture along with Michelle Yeoh, Harry Shum Jr., Ken Jeong, Gemma Chan, Lisa Lu, Henry Golding and Awkwafina. The film also garnered a Producers Guild of America Award nomination for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures for Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson and John Penotti.
The romantic comedy was not only snubbed in the major Oscar categories but also in the “below the line” categories.
The nominees were announced by actors Kumail Nanjiani and Tracee Ellis Ross at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. The Oscar ceremony is scheduled for Feb. 24 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
When “Crazy Rich Asians” won the Critics Choice Award, producer Nina Jacobson spoke on behalf of the cast and crew, including director Jon Chu and Kevin Kwan, author of the book on which the movie was based.
“They knew how much was riding on the success of this movie,” Jacobson said. “Representation is power, and our movie — like so many of those nominated today — reminds us that audiences are hungry to see that power redistributed.”
The cast was also recognized by the National Board of Review for Best Ensemble.
In other Golden Globes results, “Killing Eve” star Sandra Oh, who co-hosted the awards program with Andy Samberg, won for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series-Drama. Oh, a Canadian of Korean ancestry, was the first woman of Asian descent to win in that category since Yoko Shimada was recognized for her role in “Shogun” in 1981. She thanked her immigrant parents, who were in the audience. She previously won a Golden Globe in 2005 for her supporting role on “Grey’s Anatomy.” She was also an Emmy and SAG Award nominee for “Killing Eve.”
Darren Criss, whose mother is from the Philippines, won the Golden Globe for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie for “American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace.” He is also an Emmy winner and SAG nominee for the same series.
