Not a lot of surprises.  Spielberg didn't score a directing nomination for The Post and Tom Hanks didn't get a nom for Best Actor.  Get Out was better represented than I thought it would be, based on the Golden Globes but maybe that's why.  In the Fade got snubbed for Best Foreign Film.  Otherwise, I'm seeing most of the frontrunners from the Globes firmly represented in their categories.  "This is Me" got nominated so maybe we'll get to see Keala Settle belt it out sans beard at the ceremony.

As usual, I will do my level best to watch as many as I can before March 4.  Stay tuned.
