Award season will soon be upon us. The nominations for 2024’s Golden Globes have just been made public, and one series is garnering a lot of attention in the TV category, MAX’s “Last of Us,” bringing in nominations for three nominations for its first season, and rightfully so. It’s a fantastic series.
Best TV Television Series
In the category for Best Series, “Last of Us” goes up against titles like “The Crown” and “Succession.”
Best Performance By A Female Actor
Bella Ramsey goes toe-toe with the likes of Helen Mirren (1923) for the title of “Best Actress.” Ramsey gives an expert, emotional performance that deserves recognition.
Best Performance By A Male Actor
Pedro Pascal became a heartthrob thanks to his role as Joel, who becomes like a father to Bella’s character. Over the season, we watch him evolve from an angry man guarding his heart to realizing he can love again.
What’s It About?
The series, which stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, is based on the hit game. It is set twenty years after modern civilization has been destroyed. Joel, a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie, a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they both must traverse the U.S. and depend on each other for survival.
The finale for the first season brought in a massive number of viewers, 8.2 million of them. Unfortunately, due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, filming for the new season was delayed significantly. We likely won’t see the next installment until as late as 2025.
Tune in for the Golden Globes airing on CBS and Paramount+ on January 7, 2024.
