Netflix Scores Big Win With Golden Globes Nods

The nominations for the 73rd Golden Globe Awards were announced Thursday morning and the television categories were dominated by series from digital outlets Netflix, Hulu and Amazon, leaving traditional broadcasters and even cable programmers in the dust.

A Globes nomination can give a show, film or actor not only a bump in audience, but an edge in Hollywood’s crowded awards season.

“Instead we see “Room” and ‘Spotlight, ‘ little indie movies, and that is sending a strong message to Hollywood that measurement does not matter they usually might should attempt more durable”.

Sylvester Stallone got a nomination, for Creed.

That said, should he be nominated for other awards, or his predicted Oscar nomination for Concussion (opening December 23), Smith promises to prepare his bottom while sleeping. But many predict that George Miller’s work of Furiosa action, buoyed by support from various critic groups and Golden Globes, could score a nom. Alejandro González Iñárritu, last year’s victor for Birdman, looks like a lock for a repeat nomination.

Generally speaking, the Golden Globes tends to be a preview for the Oscar race so it seems very likely that “Mad Max” will show up in one way or another.

Alicia Vikander – Nominee for Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama “The Danish Girl” and Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture “Ex-Machina”: “I am truly thrilled and grateful to the HFPA for both these wonderful nominations!” “Last year, HBO had 15 nods”. However, because the HFPA nominates movies in two categories, not all these movies will get a nod for Best Picture.

But Starz, which had two nominations a year ago, enjoyed a happy uptick to six, spread across its series “Flesh & Bone”, “Blunt Talk” and time-travel romance “Outlander”, which got three nominations, including best drama, best actress (Caitriona Balfe) and best supporting actor (Tobias Menzies).

– “Trumbo” star Bryan Cranston on how he intends to revel in his nomination for best actor in a drama film.

The 2016 Golden Globe nominees were publicized Thursday via live-stream this morning by Chloe Grace Moretz, Dennis Quaid, America Ferrara and Angela Bassett, and included some surprises, as well as some stars getting passed over that had been expected to get a nomination.

Spielberg wasn’t the only big-name director left off the Globes’ list.

Mark Ruffalo’s nomination for “Infinitely Polar Bear” – a movie nearly no one saw – over “Spotlight” also befuddled.

In the feature film category, Netflix’s Beasts of No Nation received a nod for best lead actor in a drama (Idris Elba).

Also nominated in that category was Saoirse Ronan for “Brooklyn”, a 1950s tale about immigration. Youth hasn’t gotten the recognition that early awards season buzz suggested it might.

“American Horror Story” has scored eight Golden Globe nominations till now, including Lady Gaga’s nomination.

-Actor, Drama: Liev Schreiber, “Ray Donovan”; Wagner Moura, “Narcos”; Bob Odenkirk, “Better Call Saul”; Rami Malek, “Mr. Robot”; Jon Hamm, “Mad Men”. “I was awakened by my wife screaming, ‘You were nominated for a Golden Globe!!’ I think I am the only person that was ever told they were nominated in that particular fashion”.
