Usually considered a precursor to the Oscars, the Golden Globe nominations have been announced. There are some standouts, particularly in the movies section. Lots of love for Argo, Zero Dark Thirty, Silver Linings Playbook and Lincoln. Acting nominations favor Django Unchained and The Master. As the show gets closer, look for some films to gain momentum, others to lose momentum, and some to retain the buzz they already have. This race is shaping up to be a good one. Life of Pi will probably lose a bit of ground between now and show time, but Zero Dark Thirty and Les Miserables should begin to get even more buzz. Argo looks to maintain the solid reception it received back in October, as does Silver Linings Playbook. Interesting tidbit – The Hobbit, The Dark Knight Rises, and The Avengers received…nothing. However, the Globes don’t focus on the technical aspects of the industry, so perhaps they will get a few Oscar nods. Here are the nominees in both film and television categories.
