Both films were broadly popular, as opposed to the more narrowly skewed art-house fare that ruled most of the film categories. That included Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan for the sci-fi comedy “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” and Among dramas, Zendaya earned another accolade for HBO’s gritty teen drama “Euphoria.” The Globes are unique in that they split their top film honors in two. As for helping to shape what will make the cut at the Academy Awards when those nominations are announced on January 24, two movies that have barely made a ripple at the box office outmuscled popular contenders like “Avatar: The Way of Water” and “Top Gun: Maverick” in the movie voting.

The film is a semi-autobiographical account of the famed director's life, and is picking up accolades.

The Fabelmans is not on Netflix, and it will likely not be on Netflix anytime soon. But it’s also possible that The Fabelmans will arrive on Peacock after 90 days in theaters, around the first week of February 2023. There is not yet a Peacock streaming release date for The Fabelmans. The Fabelmans is a Universal Pictures movie and has a natural streaming home at Universal’s streaming service, Peacock. That’s likely because The Fabelmans is a contender for Best Picture at the Oscars, and Universal is hoping to get the most out of the box office. In the case of The Fabelmans, that means November 2026.

IS THE FABELMANS ON PEACOCK? While the Globes don’t always predict the Oscars, it does seem increasingly likely that this semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story is a favorite for Best Picture at the Academy Awards.

In his weekly column, Shawn Sullivan offers his take on Steven Spielberg's latest film, "The Fabelmans."

All of his career, Spielberg often blended escapism and wild fiction to explore his own painful memories and the themes that recurred in his youth. But I do not believe Spielberg wanted to make a film to celebrate the lore of his career or help lock down his place in film history. A scene involving a train wreck seems to rattle and fascinate him at the same time, enough so that he needs to work through the anxiety he’s experiencing as a result of witnessing the spectacle. These awards do not mean anything to anybody who is not a part of the film industry. I consider it Spielberg’s best film in several years and his most emotionally engaging one since “Saving Private Ryan.” “The Fabelmans” won Best Drama Motion Picture, and Spielberg took the Best Director award.

Evan is the culture editor for Men’s Health, with bylines in The New York Times, MTV News, Brooklyn Magazine, and VICE. The movie follows Sam Fabelman (mostly played as a teen by Gabriel LaBelle, wonderful in the role) as he discovers his own passion for film and grows up in both Arizona and California. But it's not that; the movie is an honest coming-of-age tale that feels real, well, because it is. When COVID hit, Spielberg, like many others, started questioning the future of the film industry. Anyone who's got even a smidge of interest in movies knows the name Steven Spielberg. The movie features Paul Dano and Michelle Williams as Burt and Mitzi Fabelman—based on Spielberg's parents—along with Seth Rogen as his "Uncle" Benny, his dad's best friend, and Judd Hirsch as the scene-stealing Uncle Boris; the ensemble cast in this movie, to put it frankly, crush.

'The Fabelmans' star Paul Dano details the emotional journey he took to portray a fictional version Of Steven Spielberg's father.

And it’s incredible that so many people do it, and I certainly feel fortunate that I’m getting to do it now in a way that I want to and that I feel really good about. And then you made me believe again in a very different context.’ And speaking of Sammy and what The Fabelmans is about, it was seeing actors who could take you somewhere that felt like a character, a world, and a life. So, the example of going from The Batman to The Fabelmans is just that I feel so lucky that I would get to do something so different. I also love when I can believe in the final product because I don’t just do this for me; I need to believe in what we’re all making as well. I remember going to audition after audition and what it felt like to get or not get a part. It’s really fun in a way to have all of that run through you [as an actor] as well, meaning I was letting Arnold into my life but letting Burt lead the way. I always saw this wonderful parallel there, which said so much about Arnold with the way his brain worked through engineering and electronics, much in the way that I think Steven works through movies. And I think it’s some combination of not being able to see or acknowledge or face the truth while also knowing and trying to contain it for the sake of his family. In terms of what I saw in his eyes, his father had passed about eight months before we first spoke, and it was hard for me to process that in real-time. And it certainly wasn’t, but I think he was doing that for the sake of his family, and I think he did that because he still loved Mitzi. But once he told me about the idea, I felt very strongly about the project in terms of how I might meet the material, what I might have to offer, and how it resonates with me. Here, Dano reveals his deep research and close work with the director to capture the true essence of a life well-lived.

"The White Lotus" won best limited series. He thanked fellow cast members including "Jenny the donkey." Spielberg, who also won best director, based "The Fabelmans" on his real life as a teenager dealing with his parents' marital struggles and anti-Semitism. "Banshees of Inisherin," the story of feuding friends on an Irish island, won best movie musical or comedy. The 31-year-old seemed overwhelmed to accept the honor before an audience of top names in show business. The future of the Globes was thrown into doubt after a 2021 Los Angeles Times investigation revealed the organization had no Black journalists in its ranks.

Up for best comedy series ensemble are the casts of "Abbott Elementary," "Barry," "The Bear," "Hacks" and "Only Murders in the Building." On the television side, nominated for best ensemble in a drama series are: "Better Call Saul," "The Crown," "Ozark," "Severance" and "The White Lotus." And, in a surprise, James Cameron ("Avatar: The Way of Water") was snubbed. The awards contenders, voted on by the Hollywood actors' guild SAG-Aftra, were announced on Instagram Live by Haley Lu Richardson ("The White Lotus") and Ashley Park ("Emily in Paris") on Wednesday. Missing out on a SAG ensemble nomination usually means a film's best-picture hopes are over. Seldom does a movie or performance not nominated by the screen actors end up winning at the Academy Awards.

'The Banshees of Inisherin' and 'Everything Everywhere All At Once' led all movie contenders with five SAG nominations each.

Awards are scheduled to be handed out at a ceremony in Los Angeles on February 26, two weeks ahead of the Oscars. The coming-of-age story was inspired by Spielberg’s real life as a teenager facing family strife and anti-Semitism. Winners will be chosen by members of the SAG-AFTRA acting union.
