Golden Globes unveil nominees

But the vet snagged a supporting nomination for reprising his iconic character in “Creed” – the sole nomination for the film. The Globes also nominate the best of television. The Emma Donoghue adaption “Room”, landed one for Brie Larson’s lead performance as a captive mother.

Traditional networks ABC, CBS and Fox meanwhile combined for a paltry nine nominations. The haul for “Mad Max” also included a nod for best director for George Miller.

The Globes’ love affair with Steven Spielberg is burned with “Bridge.”

Actress Lily Tomlin, who has been making a comeback at age 76, was nominated for best actress in a comedy for “Grace and Frankie”. Quentin Tarantino (The Hateful Eight) didn’t make the director list, either.

This is the third Golden Globe nomination for Patrick Stewart and his first nomination for a comedy series.

Gina Rodriguez scored a Best Actress in a TV Series, Comedy nomination for her role in Jane the Virgin, but that wasn’t the only reason her name was on people’s lips.

Steve Carrell and Ryan Gosling in Wall Street comedy The Big Short.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is known for playing by its own mysterious rules, and this year’s Golden Globe nominations proved no exception.

But if Oscar forecasters are looking to sift through Globe tea leaves, there appear to be few sure things.

Since 1995, the SAG Awards have been a major Hollywood award event; they are the only major awards show that honor only actors, and are voted on by fellow actors, who are members of the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists group.

And that’s probably because none of the actors in the film are being campaigned for lead role nominations.

Eddie Redmayne, best actor nominee for “The Danish Girl”: “Having the opportunity to help tell Lili and Gerda’s story has been a great privilege for me, and I am hugely grateful for the guidance, generosity and insight given to me by the transgender community”.

-Actor, Musical or Comedy: Christian Bale, “The Big Short”; Steve Carell, “The Big Short”; Matt Damon, “The Martian”; Al Pacino, “Danny Collins”; Mark Ruffalo, “Infinitely Polar Bear”.

‘Joy”, “The Martian”, “Trainwreck”, “The Big Short” and “Spy’. “Spotlight” was expected, but the other four nominees are big surprises.

In the best animated film category, the Charlie Kaufman-scripted, stop-motion animated “Anomalisa” slotted in alongside a quartet of more family-friendly releases: “Inside Out”, “The Good Dinosaur”, “The Peanuts Movie” and “Shaun the Sheep Movie”. Netflix’s Narcos and Hulu’s Casual, two very good shows competing in drama and comedy, respectively, no doubt reach smaller audiences than perennial Globes favorites (and current series snubs) Homeland, Mad Men, and Downton Abbey.

The nominees for TV movie or limited series: “American Crime, ” “American Horror Story: Hotel, ” “Fargo, ” “Flesh and Bone, ” and “Wolf Hall”. She tweeted that she probably woke her Manhattan neighbors.

Other digital broadcasters also did well, with Amazon earning five nominations and Hulu nabbing its first. Star Tom Hanks, a four-time Globes victor, Spielberg and the film seem to be out of the larger awards conversation completely.

The Globes’ tweets have since been deleted.

The announcement of the Golden Globe nominations on Thursday morning did little to clarify the movie awards season.

Tinseltown’s awards season culminates with the Oscars on February 28.
