Golden Globe Nominations

Golden Globe nominations came out this morning and I got some opinions about them. 

'Transparent'

As usual, this Amazon series received several nominations today. But I think it's time that the show gets moved to the drama category. The first episode of season three shows the main character helping a suicidal woman over the phone. The episodes that follow are also pretty dark. The program has strong acting in it and is well made, but it does not belong in the comedy category. That spot should have been open for HBO's 'Silicon Valley,' which got completely snubbed this year.

'Deadpool'

I always complain about action movies getting snubbed during awards season. They tend not to get love from older voters. So I was pretty excited when 'Deadpool' got two nominations, one for Best Actor (Ryan Reynolds) and another for Best Picture. The movie was released back in February, so there was a possibility that it wasn't fresh enough in the minds of the members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. 'Deadpool' was funny as hell and deserves its spot in this year's comedy category.

Kyle Chandler

Kyle Chandler has a long history of getting snubbed by the Golden Globes, despite amazing performances on different television programs throughout the years. For the second year in a row, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association didn't recognize his work on the Netflix series 'Bloodline.' Season three will be the show's last, so maybe next year he'll finally get some love from the Golden Globes.

Lena Headey

I was so happy to see first time nominee Lena Headey ('Game of Thrones') on today's list. The actress has received several Emmy nominations for her portrayal of Cersei Lannister throughout the last few years, but has always been snubbed by the Golden Globes. It was about time they recognized her work as the evil queen on 'Game of Thrones.'
