The Awards Season truly kicked off today with Zoe Saldana, Olivia Wilde and Aziz Ansari heading for the Beverly Hilton Hotel to announce the nominations for The 71st Annual Golden Globe Awards.
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are set to return to host The 71st Annual Golden Globe Awards, which will be given out on Sunday, January 12th, 2014.
12 Years a Slave and American Hustle led the film nominations getting an impressive seven each. Nebraska did well with five nominations, while Captain Phillips and Gravity picked up four each. On the TV front, with House of Cards and Behind the Candelabra getting four apiece.
There were a few surprises though, particularly The Butler not managing to score any nominations, despite many expecting it to make a decent Oscar run. Many also questioned why Pixar didn’t get a Best Animated Feature nom for Monsters University.
