The Golden Globe Noms – Of Birds, Boys and Games

The Hollywood Foreign Press has made known its noms for the ceremony next year, which will once again, thankfully, be presented by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. The batch features many expected nods – Birdman, Boyhood, Foxcatcher – but there are a few surprises, like Quvenzhané Wallis picking up Best Actress in a Musical/Comedy for Annie and no nods for Unbroken at all. Birdman leads with 7, with The Imitation Game and Boyhood got 5 each. Selma, which didn’t get any nods at yesterday’s SAG noms announcement, has made Ava DuVernay the first black woman to be nominated in the best director category. On the TV side, Fargo leads with 7 too, while True Detective and Orange is the New Black dominated this past year, so those nods seem pretty on point. Added bonus for the Amazon series Transparent scoring a Best Drama Series honour too.
