After revealing their brand new, remodeled award earlier last week (see above), The Golden Globes nominations have been announced today and "Vice", Adam McKay's upcoming bio on the former Vice-President, Dick Cheney who almost single-handily changed that role and politics forever, leads the field with six nominations. Bradley Cooper and his film, "A Star is Born" also did well with five nominations including Lady Gaga receiving a Best Actress nod and Best Actor and Best Director for Cooper. Yet all of those nominations were in the Best Drama category. The Globes have always been odd in regards to some of their picks for nominations and with what categories they place films in as they split them up by drama, comedy or musical. Another glaring example is "Green Book" has been placed in the Best Motion Picture category for comedy or musical. It would be an incredible stretch to claim that film is either one of those. And while women were behind some of the most interesting films made this year, not a single female made the list for Best Director.
The 76th Annual Golden Globes, hosted by the delightfully odd pairing of Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg, will be presented on January 6th in Los Angeles.

The American Film Institute unveiled their annual list of the ten best movies of 2018. It's an impressively diverse collection made-up of indie fare ("Eighth Grade", "First Reformed", "BlackKklansman") and Hollywood blockbusters ("Black Panther", "A Quiet Place", "A Star Is Born"). I'm sure the Oscars are desperately hoping for something similar for their Best Picture nominees.
