Awards season is getting seriously under way now with the nominations for the Screen Actors Guild awards already public and now the Golden Globe nominees revealed. And it's looking like a good year for the front-runners, including Les Miserables, Argo, Zero Dark Thirty and Lincoln.
There were few surprises in the big film categories, though Richard Gere has snagged a nomination for Arbitrage and The Master is in the race here after being mysteriously ignored by SAG. Plus Django Unchained is shown a little love, too.
It’s nice to see The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel getting more attention, though we’re surprised to see Salmon Fishing In The Yemen rubbing shoulders with the likes of Les Mis.
TV-wise, a lot of repeats here, though apparently the HFPA believes that Mad Men was not among the best dramas of the year. Hhhm… The Golden Globes will be handed out on January 13 at a ceremony hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, so it should at least be good for a few chuckles.
