We polled Team Experience on the Golden Globe nominations this morning. Here is part one in which we dispense quick thoughts about the most head scratching nominations and the 'I know they di't' dismissals (I know we're not supposed to call them snubs anymore but the word is such convenient shorthand).
WHAT'S THE SNUB THAT MAKES YOU THE CRAZIEST?

BEST ACTRESS COMEDY
The way you feel about iTunes updates is how Meryl Streep feels about Golden Globe nominations.

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.
We polled the team on the most "WTF?" inclusions and awful snubs as well as favorite nominations in tv and film. We even ask them to imagine dinner parties and orgies of Globe nominees. We are nothing if not thorough(ly) excited every December.
But ICYMI here are the nominations themselves...
Saturday, December 10, 2016 at 7:16AM This Monday morning very bright and early Don Cheadle, Laura Dern, and Anna Kendrick will announce the 74th annual Golden Globe Predictions. Though the media likes to take easy shots at the Globes each year, if you look through their history of awardage their ratios of great decisions to bad ones is about the same as any organizations. What's more they definitely afford themselves the opportunity to be more daring than Oscar does with their doubled categories. The Comedy/Musical categories are sometimes wasted on star-f***ing it's true (The Tourist anyone?) but more often than not it allows for "lighter" fare which, let's face it, can age better than biopics or message movies to have its day in the sun.
Don Cheadle (Miles Ahead), Laura Dern (The Founder), and Anna Kendrick (Mike & Dave...) will announce. Only Cheadle might show up as a nominee...
What might be nominated this year? We've never claimed to be good at predicting the Globes but let's all ponder the possibilities together after the jump...
Friday, December 9, 2016 at 8:00AM The members of the HFPA (The Golden Globes) have to turn in their ballots today with nominations announced on Monday. In the less celebrated corner of Precursor World the BFCA Critics Choice ballots are also due for the winners. My own votes are all over the place as I don't do lazy sweep voting but judge each category separately as one should. The Critics Choice Awards are this Sunday evening -- watch it live -- and the Golden Globe nominations are announced Monday morning. But movies, as events to celebrate, are more than just temporal things. You can celebrate anything you'd like across the time continuum via the happy things known as anniversaries and birthdays...
On this day in history as it relates to showbiz
1854 Alfred Tennyson published his famous war poem "Charge of the Light Brigade" - it would be made into a movie three times, most famously with Olivia de Havilland and Erroll Flynn in the Thirties.
1902 Margaret Hamilton, The Wicked Witch of the West herself, was born in Cleveland Ohio. She really should've been nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar, don'cha think?...
