Having said that I suppose it's interesting Silence got given he-haw by them.
The Golden Globes get a lot of coverage but as pointers for the Oscars they have become increasingly unreliable. |

I should probably put the "the Golden Globes are voted for by 95 people who are historically famous for voting for whoever gave them the best swag or threw them the best party" sign up in this thread now.

Anna Kendrick was hilarious reading out the GG nominations. Ruth Negga and Joel Edgerton both nominated. And Hugh Grant.
Isabelle Huppert nominated in the Best Actress category. She could be the surprise winner come Oscar night. |

Colin farrell is also nominated for the lobster. I loved his performance in that and the film itself.

Was it screened in time?
The Golden Globes get a lot of coverage but as pointers for the Oscars they have become increasingly unreliable. Quite an interesting set of nominations -plenty to digest! |

Surprised Rachel Weisz and the film itself didn't get more nominations.

Animals apparently turns into a horror film in it's last act, Oscar doesn't tend to vote for horror movies.

I saw it at the London Film Festival, and I really don't see that at all, tbh. The film has three layers that are interwoven (not really that spoilery but in tags for caution):
Spoiler
I loved the film, but could see how it may not be to everybody's taste. Amy Adams, as is usually the case, is superb, alongside Jake Gyllenhaal, Michael Shannon and Aaron Taylor Johnson - who got a deserved nomination at the Golden Globes. I absolutely loved the final scene, in the restaurant. |

Yes, as you say there's one moment which may make people jump but to say it turns into a horror film is a large stretch.

Think Affleck Stone Davis and Ali will win their acting categories but think one or two sure bets could slip away judging by the SAG nominations

Glad to see both reviewers on Film 2016 spoke the truth about La La Land being overrated and soulless. I think it's this years Boyhood and will probably go away empty handed on Oscar night. Well maybe cinematography will win.

I think Emma Stone will be La La Lands sole winner.

Not necessarily my favourite film of the year, but I found it very touching, even though I don't like musicals much as a rule of thumb I do fully expect a backlash against La La Land as it closes in on Oscar night, happens every year with the seeming favourite. Predictable as anything. |

The Academy loves films about LA though, how else do you explain Crash winning?

I feel sorry for the film in a way, as the oscar win really damaged the films legacy, as people only remember it for winning in controversial circumstances. |

I agree with this, but would add in the case go Crash there was a healthy dab of homophobia as well, what with the active campaigning against Brokeback Mountain by the christian right in Hollywood.

If La-La falls, who is it going to fall to though? Manchester-by-the-Sea & Moonlight would both be unlikely best picture winners.
