2014 Golden Globe Award Nominations
Big news in Hollywood today as the nominations for the Golden Globes came out. Awards season is aways the most exciting and my favorite time of the year! No major surprises, but a few snubs – like the omission of August: Osage County and Saving Mr. Banks from the Best Picture categories and zip for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
Some of the movies I’m still embargoed from reviewing are nominated and without naming name, I’m disappointed to see them there. And the most dubious move of all – Meryl and Julia in the Musical or Comedy categories?! Please. Although I cannot yet publish my opinion – I will say after viewing August: Osage County twice… it’s not a musical… or a comedy. Here’s the list of nominees in movie categories. The 71st annual Golden Globes will air on January 12.
