Awards season is getting seriously under way now with the nominations for the Screen Actors Guild awards already public and now the Golden Globe nominees revealed. And it's looking like a good year for the front-runners, including Les Miserables, Argo, Zero Dark Thirty and Lincoln.
There were few surprises in the big film categories, though Richard Gere has snagged a nomination for Arbitrage and The Master is in the race here after being mysteriously ignored by SAG. Plus Django Unchained is shown a little love, too.
It’s nice to see The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel getting more attention, though we’re surprised to see Salmon Fishing In The Yemen rubbing shoulders with the likes of Les Mis.
TV-wise, a lot of repeats here, though apparently the HFPA believes that Mad Men was not among the best dramas of the year. Hhhm… The Golden Globes will be handed out on January 13 at a ceremony hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, so it should at least be good for a few chuckles.

Just what criteria do they use for best Comedy/Musical movie anyway? Out of the non-musical nominees, I wouldn't even term any one of those true comedies let alone being LOL funny. If you're going to have a best comedy section surely it has to be the funniest movie? For me Ted was the funniest movie this year. Sure it's low brow but it was the best comedy. More

TV nominations
Completely agree with the general apathy towards these. No Game of Thrones is an absolute shocker, but also, what about The Walking Dead? The second half of season 2 and the first half of season 3 have both been excellent. Not sure how The Newsroom got nominated either, as much as I loved both The West Wing and Studio 60 I didn't make it beyond the first two episodes.
Also, can someone explain why Jessica Lange is nominated in the mini-series category for American Horror Story: Asylum? Su More
The TV nominations are a joke. The same names year in, year out. No nominations for Game of Thrones (the best show by far) or Community? The Golden Globes lack credibility. More

Where on earth is Game of Thrones for best show??
The Blackwater episode alone deserves an award. Boardwalk Empire's season 3 was overall disappointing except for the last couple of episodes. Homeland is going down hill quickly, season 2 is so boring (Claire Danes is growing so irritating). As great as Breaking Bad is, it still only aired half a season this year,, even Downton Abbey gets the nod ahead of Game of Thrones, Shocking!!! More
