75th Golden Globe Awards Nominations

This past weekend I was writing papers for my classes and didn't watch, read, or post anything.  I am so far behind the curve, I didn't even know the nominations came out yesterday so you're getting a special late post. 

Best Motion Picture - Drama

Call Me by Your Name
Dunkirk
The Post
The Shape of Water
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

I have seen none of these.  Absolutely none.  Some of them haven't even come out yet, though.

Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy

The Disaster Artist
Get Out
The Greatest Showman
I, Tonya
Lady Bird

Again, seen precisely zero of these.  I bought Get Out; I just haven't watched it yet. And The Greatest Showman doesn't come out until this weekend, maybe?  I definitely want to see I, Tonya.  Don't even ask me about The Disaster Artist.  You know how I feel about James Franco.

Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama

Timothee Chalomet - Call Me by Your Name
Daniel Day-Lewis - Phantom Thread
Tom Hanks - The Post
Gary Oldman - Darkest Hour
Denzel Washington - Roman J. Israel, Esq.

This is a tough category.  Look at those names.  Holy shit.  I'm going to be honest, though, based on the trailer Phantom Thread looks boring as fuck.

Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama

Jessica Chastain - Molly's Game
Sally Hawkins - The Shape of Water
Frances McDormand - Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
Meryl Streep - The Post
Michelle Williams - All the Money in the World

Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy

Steve Carrell - Battle of the Sexes
Ansel Elgort - Baby Driver
James Franco - The Disaster Artist
Hugh Jackman - The Greatest Showman
Daniel Kaluuya - Get Out

Based on the marketing, I didn't think Battle of the Sexes was supposed to be a comedy.  Of course, neither is Get Out but the Hollywood Foreign Press Association doesn't give a fuck.  They are above your labels!

Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy

Judi Dench - Victoria and Abdul
Helen Mirren - The Leisure Seeker
Margot Robbie - I, Tonya
Saoirse Ronan -  Lady Bird
Emma Stone - Battle of the Sexes

I've never even heard of Helen Mirren's new movie.  Must be one of those indie jobs.

Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture

Willem Dafoe - The Florida Project
Armie Hammer - Call Me by Your Name
Richard Jenkins - The Shape of Water
Christopher Plummer - All the Money in the World
Sam Rockwell - Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

I'm pretty sure they nominated Christopher Plummer for NOT being Kevin Spacey.  Which I am okay with.

Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture

Mary J. Blige - Mudbound
Hong Chau - Downsizing
Allison Janney - I, Tonya
Laurie Metcalf - Lady Bird
Octavia Spencer - The Shape of Water

Best Director

Guillermo Del Toro - The Shape of Water
Martin McDonagh - Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
Christopher Nolan - Dunkirk
Ridley Scott - All the Money in the World
Steven Spielberg - The Post

Yikes.  Again, that is a lot of established talent right there.

Best Screenplay

The Shape of Water
Lady Bird
The Post
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
Molly's Game

Best Original Score

Carter Burwell - Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
Alexandre Desplat - The Shape of Water
Jonny Greenwood - Phantom Thread
John Williams - The Post
Hans Zimmer - Dunkirk

Best Original Song

"Remember Me" - Coco
"This is Me" - The Greatest Showman
"Home" - Ferdinand
"Mighty River" - Mudbound
"The Star" - The Star

I really want to see Coco.  The Star looks pretty terrible, tbh, but I'm also not super religious so maybe it's just a demographic thing.

Best Animated Film

The Boss Baby
The Breadwinner
Coco
Ferdinand
Loving Vincent

Zero interest in The Boss Baby.  Never heard of The Breadwinner.  Loving Vincent is supposed to be utterly gorgeous, though.

Best Foreign Language Film

A Fantastic Woman
First They Killed My Father
In the Fade
Loveless
The Square

Best TV Series - Drama

The Crown
Game of Thrones
The Handmaid's Tale
Stranger Things
This is Us

I am either not caught up on or haven't started any of these shows.

Best TV Series - Comedy or Musical

Black-ish
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Master of None
SMILF
Will & Grace

Best TV Actor - Drama

Jason Bateman - Ozark
Sterling K. Brown - This is Us
Freddie Highmore - The Good Doctor

Liev Schrieber - Ray Donovan

Better Call Saul is the only one of these that I am caught up on.

Wow.  There's a LOT on here that I haven't seen.  That sucks because it's going to take me forever to get to it all.  Unless it gets nominated for an Oscar.  Then I'll make more of an effort, as usual.  Out of the TV shows, I'm probably only going to add Bette and Joan.  Times are tough and sacrifices must be made.  I'm not even close to getting the nominations from two years ago on my queue, it's so overstuffed.  The Golden Globe awards are Jan 7, 2018.  Let's hope things have calmed down somewhat by then.
