The movie has been awarded with the Best Motion Picture Drama trophy
It’s the party of the year. The Golden Globes kickstarted the awards season in Hollywood. The Globes have traditionally recognised films and TV series popular with the audiences.
But this year it seems to have turned things around, picking several of the critics favourites. Show business satire Birdman leads the Golden Globe Awards film nominations with seven nods including Best Film- Comedy, Best Screenplay, Best Director and Best Actor- Comedy. Birdman will be front-runner this awards season in Hollywood. It is closely followed by Richard Linklater’s Boyhood, which earned five nominations and was made over a period of 12 years. Martin Luther King Junior biopic Selma is nominated in four categories including best director for Ava DuVernay, the first black woman to be nominated in that Golden Globe category. The film stands out particularly in light of Ferguson protests, as America once again grapples with race relations.
In the TV and miniseries category, new comedies on cable television and online streaming platforms beat the network TV regulars for the Golden Globe nominations. HBO’s Girls was the only returning contender for best television comedy. Other nominees are Netflix’s Orange is the New Black, HBO’s Silicon Valley and the breakout comedy of the season Jane the Virgin. Comedy regulars Modern Family and The Big Bang Theory are notably absent from the race today while Amazon Studios’ makes its foray with transgender show, Transparent.
It’s a tight race in several categories but the Golden Globes promise to be entertaining, if nothing else.
