Apple TV+ wins a Golden Globe for 'The Moon Killers'
With this achievement, Gladstone has stood out against other performers in the films that marked 2023. Thus, she left Carey Mulligan, Sandra Huller, Annette Bening, Greta Lee and Cailee Spaeny in the race for the title. The protagonist of 'The Moon Killers', Leonardo DiCaprio was nominated for the equivalent male award, but was beaten by Cillian Murphy for 'Oppenheimer'.
This year is unusual for Apple TV+, already accustomed to standing out on the red carpets of the most influential entertainment awards. The comedy 'Ted Lasso'** was the streaming service's best introduction. But this year, despite being nominated, it failed to repeat the streak of the first two seasons.
The Golden Globes are among the awards that are considered an indicator of how films perform at the Oscars. The Academy Awards will announce its nominations on January 23, 2024, and the ceremony on March 10, 2024. This result could be a good sign for Apple to get its second Oscarafter having become the first platform to achieve this, thanks to the film CODA in 2022.
'The Moon Killers' is an epic crime drama set in the Western United States in which true love and the most infamous betrayal cross paths.
Based on true events and told from the perspective of the unlikely romance between Ernest Burkhart, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, and Mollie Kyle played by Lily Gladstone. These will share the screen with Jesse Plemons, Robert De Niro, John Lithgow, Janae Collins, among others.
After its theatrical release last month, as a requirement to participate in Oscar nominations, 'Killers of the Flower Moon' will debut on Apple TV+ this Friday, January 12as part of one of the platform's first releases of the year.
