It seems far too early for the Awards Season to have started, but with the Oscars recently moving earlier in the year it’s pushed all the other shows up as well. That means that while the year hasn’t ended yet, the Golden Globe nominations are already out, ahead of the ceremony January 11, 2015 (which is deliberately timed to be handed out just a few days before Oscar nomination ballots are due).
Often seen as the biggest (or at least noisiest) bellweather for the Academy Awards, this year Birdman led the movie list with seven nominations, while Boyhood and The Imitation Game got five each.
On the TV side Fargo led the way with five nominations, while True Detective scored four.
There were some surprises, with Angelina Jolie’s Unbroken being completely shut out, while Pride getting Best Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical nomination was impressive for a film that had little awards buzz, and scored just $1.4 million on its US release (despite near universal rave reviews).
