Golden Globes Snubs

The Golden Globe nominations were finally announced this morning. Before I start complaining, let's talk about some of the nominations that I really agreed with. I loved that 'Trainwreck' got nominated for best motion picture in the comedy category. I saw the movie in theaters and it was hilarious. The crowd was laughing so loudly throughout the entire showing.  Although the sophomore season of 'The Affair' has been a bit disappointing, Maura Tierney deserved her nomination for her work on the drama series. But it's more fun to talk about the people and shows that did not get any recognition from the Hollywood Foreign Press this morning. Let's take a look at a few of them:

Kyle Chandler for 'Bloodline'

Yesterday I wrote about how I thought Kyle Chandler deserved a SAG nomination for his work on the freshman series 'Bloodline.' Well, I'm writing about him again today! It's so nuts that after all these years he's never received a single Golden Globe nomination. Did those voters never watch 'Friday Night Lights'? I admit that the 'Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series' category tends to be quite competitive every year. Did you catch Wagner Moura as Pablo Escobar on 'Narcos'? It's really hard to compete against that kind of mesmerizing performance. Oh well, maybe Chandler will get nominated next year since 'Mad Men' will finally be out of the competition.

'Bloodline' for Best Drama Series

I'm not going to lie, I'm a little behind on certain television shows in the drama category. It looks like I need to check out 'Outlander.' I don't think I even know what channel that show airs on. However, I was still rooting for 'Bloodline' to get nominated this morning. Is the premise of the show the most original thing ever? No. But I still enjoyed the crap out of it and thought it was well made. I look forward to watching season two in 2016.

Nicholas Hoult for 'Mad Max: Fury Road'

It's really incredible that the Hollywood Foreign Press nominated so much science fiction this year. 'Outlander' received three nominations this morning. I was also pleasantly surprised that Alicia Vikander got recognized for her work in the drama 'Ex Machina.' Science fiction movies generally don't get enough love during awards season. There wasn't much of a chance, but I was hoping that Nicholas Hoult was going to get nominated for 'Mad Max: Fury Road.' The action sequences and visual effects in the movie were incredible. But I also thought that his performance as Nux was quite memorable.
