78th Annual Golden Globes Nominations

Uh, did you guys know the Golden Globes nominations came out yesterday?  Normally, I set a calendar alert so I don't miss it but this year... well, it's been a rough decade this year.  At any rate, here are the nominees.  I've seen practically none of them so this is going to be great.

The dearth of hyperlinks there should indicate my predicament.  I had just gotten my TBW list under 1300 things and now it's back to 1350.  Some/all of these better get nominated for an Oscar or I'm not going to see them for a decade.

Kaley Cuoco - The Flight Attendant

Jane Levy - Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist
Catherine O'Hara - Schitt's Creek

We just started watching The Great and it's pretty... well, great.  Elle Fanning is marvelous but I love her bitchy servant Marial.  The Mandalorian is the only full current season I've seen.

Unorthodox

Best Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology, or Made for TV Movie

Best Actress in a Television Supporting Role

Gillian Anderson - The Crown
Helena Bonham Carter - The Crown
Julia Garner - Ozark
Annie Murphy - Schitt's Creek
Cynthia Nixon - Ratched

The only one of these I saw was Queen's Gambit.  It was very good even for someone who doesn't give a shit about chess.  
It's been a weird year and these are some pretty weird choices for nominees.  We'll see how history judges them in a century or so.
