Golden Globe Nominees!


The Globes are probably the 2nd most watched awards show after the Oscars, despite having only a few hundred voters to the Oscars' sixes of thousands. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has garnered a solid reputation, most likely because they throw a big party, invite all the stars and get Ricky Gervais to insult them - just look at all the pretty boys up for Best Actor in a Drama. Well done also to Rooney Mara - whom I still think has better odds than Elizabeth Olsen & Felicity Jones in the Oscar race - and Glenn Close, who has secured a solid comeback. Kudos also to Owen Wilson for being the first man ever to be nominated for playing Woody Allen - other than Woody Allen.
