SAG, Golden Globe nominations further shape Oscar race

That said, the comedy film category is not almost as crowded as the drama one, so that’s one way to get your film nominated.

Kate Winslet, best supporting actress for “Steve Jobs”: “I am completely over the moon and feel so honoured to be nominated for a Golden Globe by the HFPA for this film”. The big victor, most filmgoers and observers could agree, was audacity itself, as two equally bold sensibilities got the visibility and box office business that, without awards chatter, would otherwise have eluded them.

There is a lot of love for The Revenant and Leonardo DiCaprio for his central performance in the film, but Tom Hardy has been overlooked in the Best Supporting Actor category.

Netflix earned nominations for shows with a wide range of themes. Almost four decades have passed since Stallone first received a Golden Globe nomination for his performance as Rocky.

Tom McCarthy’s acclaimed Boston Globe drama “Spotlight”, arguably the Oscar favorite, took three top nominations, including best director for McCarthy and best screenplay.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association clearly wanted to steer attention away from certain award franchises, notably Mad Men, for which only Jon Hamm was nominated, and broadcast comedies of any name, often in favor of shows that may not show up on any other list of any sort, and kudos to them.

While “Spotlight” received multiple nods, including best picture drama, the cast – including Michael Keaton, Mark Ruffalo and Rachel McAdams – got bupkis.

Monaghan actress Caitriona Balfe also garnered a nomination for Best Actress in a Television Series (Drama) for her role in “Outlander”, as did Eva Green for “Penny Dreadful”, which is filmed in Ireland. Lead actor Wagner Moura also landed a nomination in the drama actor category, one of the most intensely competitive fields in television.

This streaming favoritism was visible throughout the acting categories as well, with Aziz Ansari and Gael Garcia Bernal both picking up nominations for comedy actor (for Netflix’s “Master of None” and Amazon’s “Mozart in the Jungle”, respectively) and Lily Tomlin for comedy actress for “Grace and Frankie” (Netflix). I believe INSIDE-OUT will be the third animated film in history to be nominated for an Oscar as Best Picture of the Year.

The Globes, introduced subsequent month, are seen as one of many indicators of Oscar contenders.

Hit shows such as Empire, Fargo and American Horror Story: Hotel helped Television Studios FX and Fox Broadcasting win nine more nominations.

The Golden Globes will be handed out January 10th on NBC, with Ricky Gervais serving as host.

Lady Gaga’s first stint on TV has earned her a Golden Globe Award nomination. But when compared to the streaming networks (Netflix, Amazon and Hulu), that pales in comparison to their 14 nominations.

On Thursday, the Golden Globes nominations were announced, and shook things up a bit.

SURPRISE: The inclusion of streaming series “Casual” and “Mozart In the Jungle” Streaming is the new cable. Unlike the Emmys, the Globes actually like to nominate freshmen series and these veterans were shoved aside to make way for newer, buzzier, fare like USA’s “Mr. Robot” and Netflix’s “Narcos”. “Trumbo” topped that list with three nods, including best ensemble cast and best lead actor for Bryan Cranston.
