With the end of the year rapidly approaching, it’s time to prepare for office parties where you make life choices you regret, another [INSERT ARTICLE OF CLOTHING YOU DON’T NEED] under the Xmas tree and of course Hollywood’s favourite pass time of giving themselves little statues made out precious metals.

Yes, the awards season is upon us, and the second biggest of the them all, the Golden Globes, have just unveiled their picks for 2013.

The biggest difference between the Globes and it’s singular superior (at least in terms of prestige), the Academy Awards, is if course that it also honours TV series/actors. And on that front, I’m extremely happy to report that everybody has apparently stopped taking those crazy pills, and decided to nominate Tatiana Maslany this time around for her chamelionic performance in Orphan Black instead of snubbing her again.

Other than that, there aren’t any major surprises with the Globes seemingly getting all the right people’s names on the ballot, including newcomer Barkhad Abdi for his magnetic performance in Captain Phillips. This has been a fantastic year for some major films, and they are all quite deserving of their spots (based on what I’ve read, seeing as how several films are yet to hit our shores), with 12 Years a Slave and American Hustle leading the pack with 7 nominations each. This was such a strong year, that the word snub doesn’t actually apply, but if there were any claimants to that title, it would be Lee Daniels’ The Butler, which received no love at all. But to be fair, I can’t quite see what it would replace, because as I mentioned they are all deserving.

Well, except maybe for Big Bang Theory. How is that show still being nominated for stuff, let alone not cancelled yet? *dons flame retardant clothing*

  1. It seems extremely odd to group Musical and Comedy together.

      Yes, it is. Especially considering that in most cases, the movies (as on this year’s list) technically don’t fall into either category. I mean Wolf of Wall Street is a thrilling drama with some comic moments in it, but it’s not a comedy out right.

    The Big Bang Theory must crawl back into it’s pit and stay DOWN! My GODS How can people put up with the canned laughter?! Did you see that Youtube vid the other day? Of two of the actors talking, pausing when the laughter is ‘added in’ in post production? Pathetic!

    I am surprised that Ray Donovan wasn’t nominated for best series, thought it was very good.

    Golden Globes are better than the Oscars due to them having more categories and generally better winners.
