74th Annual Golden Globes Awards

It was almost like Christmas morning today.  I had forgotten the Golden Globes nominations were to be announced this morning until I started checking my usual websites, even though I had put it on my calendar and everything.  What a nice way to start off my last official week of class!

Here are the nominees.

Best Motion Picture, Drama
Hacksaw Ridge
Hell or High Water
Lion
Manchester by the Sea
Moonlight

All of these are getting rave reviews from critics, especially Moonlight and Manchester by the Sea.  I have seen none of these.

Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy
20th Century Women
Deadpool
Florence Foster Jenkins
La La Land
Sing Street

Oh my God, Deadpool is now a Golden Globe-nominated film.  That is amazing.  I have seen none of the rest of these and haven't even heard of two of them.

Best Actress, Musical or Comedy
Annette Benning, 20th Century Women
Lily Collins, Rules Don't Apply
Hailee Steinfield, The Edge of Seventeen
Emma Stone, La La Land
Meryl Streep, Florence Foster Jenkins

I've heard really good things about The Edge of Seventeen but I don't know anyone whose actually seen it.

Best Actress, Drama
Amy Adams, Arrival
Jessica Chastain, Miss Sloane
Isabelle Huppert, Elle
Ruth Negga, Loving
Natalie Portman, Jackie

All of these women are being praised for powerhouse performances so this might be the race to watch.

Best Actor, Drama
Casey Affleck, Manchester by the Sea
Joel Edgerton, Loving
Andrew Garfield, Hacksaw Ridge
Viggo Mortensen, Captain Fantastic
Denzel Washington, Fences

When was the last time you heard anything about Viggo Mortensen?

Best Actor, Musical or Comedy
Colin Farrell, The Lobster
Ryan Gosling, La La Land
Hugh Grant, Florence Foster Jenkins
Jonah Hill, War Dogs
Ryan Reynolds, Deadpool

Okay, I am low-key interested in seeing The Lobster because it's by the gonzo director of Dogtooth and that movie was batshit.

Best Supporting Actor
Mahershala Ali, Moonlight
Jeff Bridges, Hell or High Water
Simon Helberg, Florence Foster Jenkins
Dev Patel, Lion
Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Nocturnal Animals

Nocturnal Animals is getting some buzz as well.  Tom Ford is a clothing designer, so at the very least it should be beautiful.

Best Supporting Actress
Viola Davis, Fences
Naomie Harris, Moonlight
Nicole Kidman, Lion
Octavia Spencer, Hidden Figures
Michelle Williams, Manchester by the Sea

I really want to see Hidden Figures.  And it has a great soundtrack.

Best Director
Damien Chazelle, La La Land
Tom Ford, Nocturnal Animals
Mel Gibson, Hacksaw Ridge
Barry Jenkins, Moonlight
Kenneth Lonergan, Manchester by the Sea

Best Screenplay
La La Land
Nocturnal Animals
Moonlight
Manchester by the Sea
Hell or High Water

Best Original Score
Moonlight
La La Land
Arrival
Lion
Hidden Figures

Best Animated Film
Kubo and the Two Strings
Moana
My Life as a Zucchini
Sing
Zootopia

I bought Kubo and the Two Strings on the strength of its trailer but I haven't watched it yet.  Sing looks cute but it hasn't even come out yet.

Best Original Song
"Can't Stop the Feeling", Trolls
"City of Stars", La La Land
"Faith", Sing
"Gold", Gold
"How Far I'll Go", Moana

I have no idea what Gold is about, other than the obvious.

Best Foreign Film
Divines
Elle
Neruda
The Salesman
Toni Erdmann

Apparently, John Waters named Toni Erdmann his top pick for 2016.  Do what that information what you will.

Best Television Series, Drama
The Crown
Game of Thrones
Stranger Things
This is Us
Westworld

I am so far behind on TV.  You all know this.
