Which Golden Globe is Swift up for?

Swift’s Eras Tour movie, which documents part of the singer-songwriter’s ongoing global concert tour, is among eight films that have been nominated for the Golden Globes’ Cinematic and Box Office Achievement prize, which is one of two categories that will be making their debut in the 81st edition of the film and TV awards gala.

The Cinematic and Box Office Achievement award is contested by the year’s highest-grossing movies. To be eligible for the gong, a picture must finish the qualifying year with total receipts of at least $150m worldwide, of which at least $100m must have been accrued at US box offices.

Released in October, the Eras Tour movie has earned $179m in the US and just over $250m globally, per Box Office Mojo – takings that have led Guinness World Records to recognise it as the top-grossing concert film of all time.

Which other movies have been nominated?

The seven other candidates for the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement award are: Barbie; Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3; John Wick: Chapter 4; Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1; Oppenheimer; Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse; and The Super Mario Bros Movie.

This is Swift’s fifth Golden Globes nomination, and her first outside of the Best Original Song category. The 34-year-old is yet to be a winner.
