Golden Globes Nominations 2015

This totally snuck up on me this year.  I guess because the Oscar Nominations don't come out until mid-January, I was thinking the Golden Globes were closer to the end of December but here they are!  I freely admit that I haven't seen anything nominated this year (like every year) but I will do my best to see as many as I can, especially if they also get the nod from the Academy.

Looking over the list, I don't really see any surprises.  Except maybe for Jennifer Aniston being nominated for anything and the inclusion of Tim Burton's Big Eyes, which I haven't heard a lot of people talking about.  Even the TV categories (which you guys know I will never be current on) don't hold a lot of upsets.  Mainly because I'm so far behind I've never even seen these shows.

So there you have it.  I know it's a day late, but it's finals week.  You're lucky I'm lucid.  As usual, links go to movies I've already reviewed while bold type are movies I haven't seen.  Also as usual, the latter drastically outweighs the former.  I really am going to have to get off my ass and get to the theater in these last couple of weeks.
