Here Are The 74th Annual Golden Globe Nominations!

Posted on December 12, 2016 by Lisa Marie Bowman

Oscar season continued today with even more precursors announcing their picks for the best of 2016! Perhaps most importantly, the 74th Annual Golden Globe nominations were announced today! Even though they rarely match up 100%, the Golden Globe nominations are considered to be one of the best precursors for what will be nominated for an Oscar in January.

So, should Silence be worried? Martin Scorsese’s latest acclaimed film was totally snubbed by the Golden Globes. That could be an ominous sign for a film that everyone seems to respect but which is still going to be a far harder sell at the box office than either The Wolf of Wall Street or Hugo.

But again, it’s never an exact match between the Globes and the Oscars and the Academy can nominate up to ten films for best picture. Though it would certainly be interesting (and kinda neat) if it happened, I somehow doubt that the Academy is going nominate Deadpool over Silence.

(For that matter, I doubt Simon Helberg is going to pick up an Oscar nomination for Florence Foster Jenkins. Just a feeling…)

Below are the Golden Globe film nominations!

(For the TV nominations, why not check out the list over at Awards Watch?)
