I've just read at Awards Daily that "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" will be competing on the drama side at the Golden Globes. Don't know if it's true but it would definitely make things more interesting (and competitive).

October 25, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterJoe

Joe -- interesting decision if true. The film could easily be called a dark comedy and that's usually less competitive.

I've been waiting for news on 'The Seagull' - so glad it's finally being released. And by SPC, no less!

October 25, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterTyler

Just wondering why you haven't discussed Renee Zellweger staring in a Judy Garland biopic yet? It seems right up this blogs alley

October 25, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterTD

Nat - I haven't seen it so I can't tell, but if that's the case it's a strange move indeed because as you just said, the comedy/musical categories are almost always less competitive. I wonder what would win Best Musical/Comedy then. I, Tonya? Get Out? The Disaster Artist? Battle of the Sexes? The Greatest Showman? Lady Bird? Who knows.

On the other side, I think it would turn into a battle between McDormand and Robbie for Best Actress (assuming each one won her category here, which I'm predicting at the moment, especially given the fact that the former has never won a GG). In that case, I think this could be the first step for a Robbie sweep of the season, ala Stone last year. But we'll see.

What do you think?

October 25, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterJoe

TD -- i read that and then at least one site pulled the story so i was trying to detect if it was real or not before mentioning it.

October 25, 2017 | Registered CommenterNATHANIEL R

Ugh, that Harvey Weinstein cameo was disgusting.

October 25, 2017 | Unregistered Commenterthevoid99

I am 100% showing up for Merritt Weaver as an old west gunslinger on Netflix's GODLESS.

October 25, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterAlex

Battle Of The Sexes could win the Comedy/Musical Globe and Emma Stone Comedy/Musical Actress. If Amy Adams can win consecutively for American Hustle and Big Eyes, Emma can for La La Land and Battle Of The Sexes.

Wuthering Heights is a magical film of that blessed 1939. I recommend watching it followed by Rebecca(1940). Both stories seem related to each other, linked by the presence of the young rising star Laurence Olivier.

October 25, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterSamuel

I remember seeing Wuthering Heights in high school at a rep theatre with 2 friends, a guy and a girl. After the movie, we sat in the car in the parking lot and cried for half an hour. I loved that movie, but I love the memory of those friends more. What perfect people to go to a movie with.

October 25, 2017 | Unregistered Commenteradri

adri: That's a great comment! What a lovely memory to have.

The article on Fassy is brutal... and necessary.

October 26, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterPeggy Sue

I love The Seagull but somehow cannot see the film adaptation succeeding that well with movie- going audiences, despite the talent.

October 26, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterJamie

Of course Fassbender will survive, he's a white man.

October 27, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterGlenn Dunks

Glenn Dunks: Survive, definitely, but not impossible it'll be in the sense that John Travolta "survived" between 1983 and 1994.

October 27, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterVolvagia

Matthew McConaughey is another formerly acclaimed actor who has just appeared in critical and commercial flops since Interstellar (his voice part in Kubo notwithstanding).
