Golden Globe Nominations

So, they're out...and let's see what genre nods we have.

The obvious is Black Panther for Best Drama. I do think it has a chance of winning, but it's up against the rather more traditionally "award worthy" BlacKKKlansman. Biopic Bohemian Rhapsody is in there too, but given it's mixed reviews...

Musical or Comedy has Mary Poppins Returns, but I think I'd rather see Crazy Rich Asians just because of the precedent it sets. I would have loved to see Deadpool 2 in there...ah well.

No genre nods at all in the acting category. (Really? You couldn't find ONE of the wonderful actors in Black Panther?)

Animated does contain some genre nods. I haven't seen it (yet), but I would like to see Into The Spider-Verse win because it just looks so good. I've also heard good things about Ralph Breaks The Internet. I don't think Incredibles 2 has a huge chance against those two, and I haven't even heard of Isle of Dogs or Mirai.

Other genre nods:
Emily Blunt for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical (Mary Poppins Returns)
Lin-Manuel Miranda for Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical (Mary Poppins Returns)
Ludwig Goransson for Best Original Score (Black Panther)
"All The Stars" for Best Original Song (Black Panther)
Elisabeth Moss for Best Performance By An Actress in a Television Series - Drama (The Handmaid's Tale)
"The Good Place" for Best Television Series - Musical or Comedy
Kristen Bell for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series - Musical or Comedy (The Good Place)
Thandie Newton for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television (Westworld)
Yvonne Strahovski for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television (The Handmaid's Tale)

Which all says there's a lot of genre stuff out there, but really, no actor nominations for Black Panther? Disappointed.
