Golden Globe Nominations are in for 2016
Monday, December 12, 2016 at 9:42AM Cheadle, Dern, and Kendrick started this morning off with a bang reading the Golden Globe nominations which gave us lots of surprises connected to Nocturnal Animals, Supporting Actor, and the Comedy/Musical categories in general.

Is this the death knell for Arrival and Jackie beyond Actress? Say it isn't so...
I was sort of expecting Sully to get shut out. Did not expect Deadpool to do as well as it did. Simon Helberg and Aaron Taylor Johnson surprise me. Jonah Hill always seems to grab unexpected nominations.
First of all, boo for Tom Ford and Aaron-Taylor Johnson.. I mean *eew*. ATJ and not Shannon??? Dafuq? Chastain was a surprise, but could this just be the Globes tossing a bone? Happy for Steinfeld, I just watched her in Edge Of Seventeen last night and she was brilliant, was not expecting that. Inspired choices with Mortensen and Farrell, the latter of whom I was afraid would get totally ignored. Kidman feels like a default pick, why no Gerwig? Also, I think Portman's got this.
Shockin omission: Hanks for Sully n Scorsese for Silence. N i thot the globes luv them?!
Even worse, no nom for Love n Friendship! Not even Beckingsale!
Surprise on the luv showered on Norturnal Animals n Hacksaw
@Amanda Buffamonteezi
Dafuq indeed.
Just a heads up that Mahershala Ali's name is consistently misspelled ("Mahershara") on this site!
Too much Gibson for an over rated blood bath, and a terrible performance by Andrew Garfield. That accent is up there with Julia Roberts in "Mary Reilly."
Too bad Ralph Fiennes continues be to forgotten for his brilliant performance.
I still think Ben Foster will get an Oscar nod.
And where the hell is "Hail Caesar!" ?
Yay fo Simon Helberg and Hugh Grant and no Sully
There were two open spots in the director line-up, and HFPA gave them to Ford and Gibson.
Well, DGA can't do any worse.
I'm curious what this means for Supporting Actor. Taylor-Johnson and Helberg both seem very vulnerable in terms of Oscar, though theoretically could make it, but will Grant now lose votes with a legitimate contender in supporting from the same movie and category confusion, and can Michael Shannon get in when he also has a costar that is competing for votes (it's happened that someone gets in for the Globes and someone else from the same film gets in in the same category for Oscar-Paul Scofield & John Turturro come to mind-but it's rare)? Lucas Hedges, in my opinion, might be the best positioned person not nominated today for Oscar-he's not famous, so the Globes were always going to be harder for him, but Manchester clearly has boffo support, which could help with Oscar.
I also think Neeson is theoretically possible, but that's without seeing Silence-I don't understand what the holdup is there-is he not any good in it or is it just a small part?
So thankful that Sing Street got a Best Comedy nom, but how on earth was it shut out in Original Song?
Also Arrival/Jackie's snubs are shocking. I don't get all the love for Hacksaw Ridge. Simon Helberg and Jonah Hill are just huge whyyyysss for me.
And then Deadpool.
DEADPOOL. Whyyyyyyyy. The Deadpool slot would much better serve The Lobster, Don't Think Twice, Love and Friendship or even Hail Caesar and A Bigger Splash. Or The Edge of 17.
Oh and YAY for La La Land and Moonlight.
I would not be surprised in the least if Helberg were to sneak in as supporting actor for Florence Foster Jenkins, especially if either Streep or Grant (or both) make the cut in the lead categories.
Finally having seen Manchester by the Sea, I'm already over its representation among these awards citations.
@John T
With regards to Neeson, its a small part (like the 4th or 5th biggest supporting role) and he's only in a few scenes towards the end. His character is important to the plot in that Garfield/Driver are motivated to go to Japan in order to find him, but the role itself isn't that big. Think Col. Kurtz in Apocalypse Now (at least in terms of screentime).
Definitely happy for Simon Helberg. He's the soul of Florence Foster Jenkins similar to the way Amy Adams is the soul of Doubt.
Jonah Hill. That is the worst of the worst. Damn. So lazy.
Ferdia Walsh-Peelo, Sam Neill, Julian Dennison, RALPH FIENNES... all would have been excellent nominations. Hell, give Ryan Gosling a second nomination in the category.
Urgh. SMH.
For the first time in awhile, I'm differing on Nocturnal Animals from you! I love it so much. But I highly doubt it will go beyond this...I did think Aaron shined more than Michael, so I was pleased with his nom.
Yay! Meryl, Hugh and Simon. Those banner ads on your page really paid off.
Gibson and Ford are great choices (this year - I'm not the fan of Gibson but "Hacksaw Ridge" is his best movie and it was very well directed - and "Nocturnal Animals" is one of the best movies of the year so... yeah!).
Taylor-Johnson should be nominated with Shannon. Both were awesome.
Helberg and Grant - yeah!
Farrell - even better!
"Hell or High Water" everywhere -> awesome!
Said things: why Adams is nominated for her worse performance? She should be here for "Nocturnal Animals". Where is music from "NA" and Gyllenhaal for the same movie? Hill and Reynolds nominated over George Clooney in "Hail, Caesar!"? And what about this Coen brothers' movie? Why "The Lobster" got only one nomination?
No love for "Arrival" (except Adam's performance and music) - the most overrated movie of the year -> yeah!
Overall: quite good nominations. They could have been better but are acceptable.
WINONA RYDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadpool, yeah. Love it
Aw, no Sally Field. Boo.
Happy that Negga and Edgerton can get recognized for such sublte, un-showy performances.
How is Mandy Moore up for supporting? Isn't she the lead on that show? (Never seen it so I might be wrong.)
And Thandie Newton! Yesssssssssssss.
I'm thinking Issa Rae will be the next recipient in the GG's "hot young female comedy lead" tradition. And she's good, but Bloom is just nailing "CEG"'s second season.
Chasgoose-Thanks for the clarification. I'd been confused because Marty's great with getting Supporting Actor nods, and Neeson is exactly in the right position in his career to get a second nomination (and maybe even a trophy) so I was stunned it wasn't getting more attention. Brando/Apocalypse Now makes sense as to why it's not mentioned.
Here to show my boy Jonah some love seeing as no-one else on here seems to rate him. Made up with his nomination. He slayed in WAR DOGS, he deserves a nomination for his unsettling giggle alone.
Other surprises I'm very pleased about are ATJ nominated for NOCTURNAL ANIMALS instead of Shannon. I think NOCTURNAL ANIMALS might be ATJ's best performance of his career and he genuinely scared the crap out of me.
Also echo all the love for Hailee's witty, layered performance in EDGE OF SEVENTEEN. I've been listening to her songs like crazy recently so my love for her is high.
As much as I love Winona, she is not that great on that show
I know everyone here is reacting to the "unpleasant" surprises but the great thing about the Globes is that they make the Oscars slightly less easy to predict: And it terms of the surprise factor, rather than punditry, that's great.
Delighted for: Negga and Edgerton.
Huppert, obviously. LET'S GET THAT OSCAR NOM!
I'm a terrible person, but right now I desperately want Taylor-Johnson to get nominated just to see his ass-wiping scene turned into an Oscar clip. Très chic!
Peggy Sue: LOL that scene made me cringe
I'm happy about Olivia Coleman for The Lobster. No chance of winning but who cares - I just love that nomination. Ditto Hugh Grant & Sing Street.
That line up for best comedy/musical actress is stellar.
There is actually ALOT of pleasant inclusions here too.
I really don't want to see Lion. Looks awful.
Sing Street gets a nomination for Comedy/Musical but not for Best Song?!?
That Deadpool nomination just made me snort my coffee through my nose. I actually kind of love it.
BOO to the Viola Davis category fraud. I don't care if she's deserving
BOO to the lack of love for Love & Friendship.
BOO to that Jonah Hill nom. Please replace with Russell Crowe in The Nice Guys.
YAY for Isabelle Huppert! YAY for Moonlight love! YAY for La La Land love! YAY for Chastain!
And YAY for Hugh Grant and Colin Farrell!!
"I'm happy about Olivia Coleman for The Lobster." Don't be, it didn't happen.
My thoughts? The TV nominations were much more exciting than film. (YAY for Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys. And Winona Forever!)
Of course two of the year's best films with women at the center (Arrival and Jackie), were ignored for best picture drama. That's a lot of male-heavy drama in that category. Shame, since last year at least they nominated Carol for this prize.
HFPA must not have seen Silence. They usually go wild for Scorsese. Completely shut-out.
Kind of surprised Chastain made it for Best Actress - Drama. HFPA seemed to like Hidden Figures, so I thought Taraji would make it there. Regardless, that's the strongest category IMO.
I think that supporting actress line-up is happening for Oscar. Not confident that Gerwig is going to make it this year.
Of course in the year of Trump, Mel Gibson would have his "resurgence". Just GAG. I hope Oscar does better with that best director category. Throw a bone to Larrain or Villeneuve or someone!
I think La La Land is going to soar through this awards season.
PS, did anyone find it funny/awkward Laura Dern announcing Billy Bob Thornton's nomination?
I'm loving the love for Ryan Reynolds. Marvel must be scratching their heads, they're finally getting some awards love!
Also, very excited that Isabelle Huppert is now pretty much a lock, right??
After being underwhelmed by both Moonlight and Manchester by the Sea, this year looks like it's La La Land's to lose, as far as I'm concerned.
@JB: I doubt Marvel Studios is thrilled at the love for a FOX Marvel film.
@ken s yea it's definitely la la land's to lose since you were underwhelmed by both moonlight and manchester by the sea.
Not a huge fan of Stranger Things, but Winona is the best part! Carla Gugino is the second best!
That Aaron Taylor-Johnson nomination is laughable.
Glad for Simon Helberg. I thought he was MVP in FFJ.
The Andrew Garfield nomination concerns me. I love him normally, but he's so bad in HR. It's not a very good movie. He has done much better work.
Looks like Streep may be in Best Actress Oscar race after all.
The support for Nocturnal Emissions is disgusting.
Wouldn't it be great if Grant was nominated as lead at Oscar.
The TV Comedy Actress and both TV supporting categories are going to a bloodbath. There will be tears and much gnashing of teeth come awards night.
@ DJDeeJay: You could say they are all lead or supporting on This Is Us, including both Mandy Moore and Chrissy Metz.
@ Marsha Mason: Carla Gugino? Do you mean Cara Buono?
Yes I do, Paul. Thx
markgordon: Yes
A moment of silence for...er, Silence.
And now is as good a time to ask as any: Remember Collateral Beauty?
Missing in action: Michael Keaton.
My only hurt: the desdain for Love & Friendship. I don't care about Nocturnal Animals or Mel Gibson. Kudos to the HPFA for going to their guts, although we dint't like it. Shepherd mentality is the worst. LLL, Moonlight and Manchester aside, BAFCA is the worst. I will be very, very happy if they're BOLD enough to go behind Huppert and don't regret they're collective un-love for Jackie by giving Portman the Globe! It's a toss-up between them in that category. Giving Portman the award would be the most oscary thing they could do (dicard Portman at the Oscars at your own peril!). Hope they have the "Nocturnal Animals" epiphany, here:) Tom Ford is a pretentious bore. So are the precursors and the "likely wins". This is Huppert last chance to win in a major event before the big thing. A winning here could serve as a much needed curveball to the Oscars. Stone vs Portman's names seem to be engraved for the win. Huppert needs this award to complicate things,. And she's the most deserved of them all, frankly. Live with it.
Thoughts:
- The Tv Drama line up is full of my 2016 favs :)
- is Olivia Coleman nominated for The Night Manager?
- So much Aussie love - Lion, Hacksaw Ridge, Nic, Joel, Mel. Yes we will claim Mel. He's like the bad boy who has come home asking for forgiveness. His interviews around Hacksaw Ridge have been humble and appreciative of Australia's film industry. Personally I don't know if I can forgive his behaviour and I'm not really keen to see Hacksaw Ridge, but if he is willing to give work to Aussies and support the Australian film industry then I'm happy for his film to be receiving accolades. He needs to stay and make an Aussie story though then his redemption may ring true for me.
@ Joanne: Yes, not Fleabag.
Yes, Joanne, I too, will struggle to forgive Gibson for his bigotry against Jews and African-Americans until he's given jobs to Aussies and helped us Aussies cope with our inferiority complex by making a true-blue Aussie story and letting us vicariously bask in his Hollywood celebrity. Because those things are totally related to each other.
