I really enjoyed S2 but there was a quality drop if you came to Mr. Robot for anything at all grounded in a real world.

For comedy. And it won't win.

No Michael Shannon nomination for Nocturnal Animals? For shame!
"Who? What are you, an owl?"
(I haven't seen the movie yet --- next week! --- but that line from one of the promo clips was incredible.)
I think Oscors will give Fences those as well as Picture and Director
I just started Westworld so far so good
Well The Dark Knight was snubbed

It's not really a best picture nomination
Keep in mind bro that these are the same awards and category which included gems like Into the Woods, The Tourist and Alice in Wonderland lol
Pretty happy sing street made it in but nice guys was snubbed. Deadpool shouldn't have got in over it
Didn't The Martian win best comedy last year too? lol
Yeah that category is usually pretty bad.
I'm going through Westworld right now. It's amazing. Almost every second of Saul this season bored me except for the Mike parts. There were a good final two episodes in BCS but it was mostly just very mundane. What do you see in BCS?
The Comedy/musical category is usually a big fish in a small pond scenario where only 1 or 2 films have a shot at winning anything.
EDIT: Last year 4 of the 5 Golden Globe best drama nominees were nominated for best picture in the Academy Awards. Only 2 of the Best comedy/musical nominees received a nod at the academy awards.
It was even worse in the acting department. Only Damon and Lawrence from the Golden Globe Comedy/Musical best actor nominees got a Academy Award nomination. 7 of the 10 academy Award nominees in those two acting categories were nominated for best actor/actress in a drama at the Golden Globes. Charlotte Rampling was recognized by the Academy Awards but not the Golden Globes.

Glad to see Nocturnal Animals pick up a few nominations.
Its in my top 5 of 2016.

Great writing and even better acting. I find Saul to be a better crafted show in every regard.
The last two episodes of Westworld delivered, but almost everything between those and the pilot was trash. There was also an abundance of rotten dialogue and acting scattered throughout the show.
Rachel Wood and Jeffery Wright were the standouts, everyone else was either on auto-pilot, or god awful (like Logan and almost everyone who worked at the corporation)
Cool concept, for sure, but poor execution.

I strongly disagree. Her role didn't allow for a lot of variation in behaviors and yet I still think she crushed it and also brought some nuance where needed. I can't speak to whether she should get the win since I haven't yet seen some of the competing actresses roles, but Winona definitely earned that nom, in my opinion.

Amazing year for television, pretty terrible year for movies. Seen every TV show except for This is Us, Mozart, Transparent, Crown but the only movies I've seen from the list Deadpool and Arrival and the only other one I might see is La La Land.

This is Us? Really?
Yeah looks looks to be right up my alley. The visual definitely looks nice, with some nice usage of colors judging from the trailers.

Hell or High Water was great, surprised to see it on the list.

Yeah i was just about to post that this is the same award show that not only put The Martian in best Musical/Comedy but Matt won best actor in Musical/Comedy The Martian which yes has humor but is a drama.
Not that i think award shows mean anything to begin with but i stopped giving a shit about Golden Globes after he won that. I'll probably just stick with the Emmy's/Oscars as a fun party/get together thing.

I can't agree with this. The pilot and final two episodes sucked too.
If it's like the Emmy's then he has to submit himself. It's possible he doesn't give a shit.
Steinfeld is up for Best Actress - Comedy or Musical though?
I really am glad to see her get more recognition.

He'd be in for Supporting Actor, and for TV shows the supporting categories don't get broken down further. He would be up against all of the supporting actors for mini-series, TV Movies, Dramas and Comedies. It's a pretty stacked category.
Oh... Oh. My mistake. Yeah she was excellent and I would like to see her in more movies.
Emma has the globe locked up for sure

There is zero chance that the Academy give a Verhoeven film enough looks for Huppert to be even nominated.

Idk, this set of nominations is actually kinda ridiculous to me. I mean...really?
No Swiss Army Man, no the Nice Guys, no Hunt for the Wilderpeople.
Instead we have Deadpool which is one of the most overrated movies ever. Not saying it's bad but cmon...nominated for a Golden Globe? Have more faith in the Oscars this year.
Still need to see Moonlight and Manchester by the Sea. About to watch Hell or High Water right now. Oh, and Nocturnal Animals.
Arrival is amazing and Adams should win. Renner should've been nominated too, or at least Forest Whittaker. Hacksaw is fucking great too and I hope Mel wins because he deserves it. People need to learn to separate the art from the person and luckily the Globes were able to do that this year. Garfield for best Lead Actor.

I know one of those Disney films are going to win the Animated Award, but Kubo is probably the best animated film I can remember seeing in a long time.
No that's a good thing, like the Wire it's quality will live on without having to have the seal of approval from the GGs
Oo deadpool vs nice guys is a tough call. Both deserving for sure.
