It's the most wonderful time of the year again! Awards season! Now, as you all know, I don't make a point of watching all the Golden Globe nominations in a month like I do the Oscars, but I do add them to my Netflix queue. Since most of these either just came out in theaters or just left, it might be a while. Unless they get nominated for an Oscar, in which case I will bump them to the top of the list.
Best motion picture, drama
12 Years a Slave - This is obviously the big front-runner. It got nominated for a bunch of SAG awards too, which people say is an important predictor for the Oscar Best Picture category. I've heard nothing but good things, but also that it's emotionally devastating.
Captain Phillips - This one lost a lot of steam since it came out this summer.
Gravity - Everybody talked about this film, but nobody ever mentioned the story, just the visual effects.
Philomena - I've heard mixed reviews on this one.
Rush - Not a lot of people I know went to see this one, but it did well critically.
Best Actor in a motion picture, drama
Chiwetel Ejiofor, 12 Years a Slave
Idris Elba, Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom - I don't know how I would feel to accept an award for playing somebody who died so recently. If I were Idris Elba, I would be hoping someone else won.
Tom Hanks, Captain Phillips
Matthew McConaughey, Dallas Buyers Club - Apparently McConaughey is having a great year.
Robert Redford, All is Lost - You have to be incredibly charismatic to pull off being the sole face of a movie.
Best Actress in a motion picture, drama
Cate Blanchett, Blue Jasmine - I wouldn't say I'm a big Woody Allen fan. I think I've only seen one, maybe two of his movies. But I love Cate Blanchett and she's supposed to be fantastic in this.
Sandra Bullock, Gravity
Judi Dench, Philomena
Emma Thompson, Saving Mr. Banks - This one hasn't even come out yet. Christy wants to see it, though, so I'll probably catch it at the theater.
Kate Winslet, Labour Day - I haven't heard a lot about this one. Josh Brolin takes her hostage or something.
Best Director - motion picture
Alfonso Cuaron, Gravity
Paul Greengrass, Captain Phillips
Steve McQueen, 12 Years a Slave
Alexander Payne, Nebraska - I was not a huge fan of The Descendants. This seems like more of the same, except in black and white
David O. Russell, American Hustle - I was already going to watch this. If only for the hair.
Best Screenplay - motion picture
Spike Jonze, Her - Ok, the premise of this is that a guy falls in love with the OS on his phone. I don't know how I feel about that.
Bob Nelson, Nebraska
Jeff Pope and Steve Coogan, Philomena
John Ridley, 12 Years a Slave
David O. Russell and Eric Singer Warren, American Hustle
Best motion picture, musical or comedy
American Hustle
Her
Inside Llewyn Davis
Nebraska
Wolf of Wall Street - I didn't know this was supposed to be a comedy until pretty recently.
Best Actress in a motion picture, musical or comedy
Amy Adams, American Hustle
Julie Delphy, Before Midnight - I haven't seen the other two films in this series. I hope that doesn't preclude me from understanding this one.
Greta Gerwig, Frances Ha - God, I hate mumblecore. This is the second modern black and white film this year, though, so I'll give it that.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Enough Said - Is it just me or do you think this is just a sympathy nod because James Gandolfini died this year?
Meryl Streep, August: Osage County - Meryl Streep is always good no matter what she's in, but it's nice to see her step away from doing insipid over-the-hill comedies.
Best Actor in a motion picture, musical or comedy
Christian Bale, American Hustle
Bruce Dern, Nebraska
Leonardo DiCaprio, Wolf of Wall Street
Oscar Isaac, Inside Llewyn Davis
Joaquin Phoenix, Her
Best Animated Feature film
The Croods - Christy really enjoyed this film. She already bought it so I should get to it pretty soon.
Despicable Me 2
Frozen - This one just came out a couple of weeks ago and has been tearing up the box office.
Best Foreign Language Film
Blue Is The Warmest Color (France) - This is the NC-17 teenaged lesbian movie that did so well at Cannes. Might be a little hard to find over here.
The Great Beauty (Italy)
The Hunt (Denmark) - I was going to see this one anyway. Mads Mikkelsen is amazing.
The Past (Iran) - I still haven't seen A Separation and that got nominated like three years ago.
The Wind Rises (Japan) - It's a Miyazaki so it has to be good.

Jennifer Lawrence, American Hustle
Lupita Nyong'o, 12 Years a Slave
Julia Roberts, August Osage County
June Squibb, Nebraska
Best supporting Actor in a motion picture

Daniel Bruhl, Rush

Best Original Score – Motion Picture
