The Golden Globes!
This year’s Golden Globe nominations were dominated by Worldview Entertainment’s “Birdman”. I have reached out to a friend at Worldview to get her reaction to the wonderful news. They were nominated for Best Picture (Comedy or Musical), Best Actor (Keaton), Best Supporting Actor (Norton), Best Supporting Actress (Stone), Director (Gonzalez), and Original Score (Sanchez). If these are any indicators of what is coming through the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, then we have high hopes for what comes from SAG and the Academy. You can tell they are excited:
The nominations for the 72nd Golden Globe Awards were announced bright and early this morning at the Beverly Hilton hotel. During the traditional pre-dawn ceremony in Beverly Hills, HFPA president Theo Kingma introduced Kate Beckinsale, two-time Golden Globe Award-nominee Peter Krause, Paula Patton, and Golden Globe-winner and five-time nominee Jeremy Piven did the honors. The 72nd Annual Golden Globe® Awards, hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, will air on Sunday, January 11, 2015, LIVE coast-to-coast on NBC from 5:00-8:00 p.m. (PST)/8:00-11:00 p.m. (EST)
