To be honest, the HFPA put up a good list. It's a little quirky with Mozart in the Jungle , but that just makes it feel more balanced. There's not a whole lot that could have been changed, but given the Globes' budding reputation for recognizing smaller shows with a unique voice of their own, it would have been nice to see either Hulu's Difficult People or Netflix's BoJack Horseman , both of which succeed in skewering celebrity and Hollywood culture in different ways. Then again, maybe that's why they're not on here. And now, come to think of it, let's nominate Difficult People stars Billy Eichner and Julie Klausner to be the hosts of the 74th Golden Globes in 2

Several indie and lesser-known critical-darlings received little-to-no love from the Hollywood Foreign Press, including titles like The Tree of Life , Warrior , Drive , Martha Marcy May Marlene , and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy . Similarly, there were more than a few surprising snubs (no Best Director nod for David Fincher on The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo ? No Winnie the Pooh for Best Animated Feature?) and certain films fared far better than anticipated (namely, The Ides of March ). However, there were also more than a few no-brainers (ex. Meryl Streep being nominated for The Iron Lady ) and some rather unexpected choices (ex. Ryan Gosling in Crazy, Stupid, Lov

You can look at Towelhead from a couple of different angles, but as the parent of an 11 year old daughter, I look at it as a cautionary tale of exposing kids to sexual images too early, and not being a father that they can turn to for advice and comfort instead of whatever guys is availa

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has officially announced its nominations for the 2012 Golden Globes show - and, just like any year, there are many obvious selections, a few surprises, and more than a handful of choices that are bound to rub moviegoers of all shades the wrong (or, in some cases, the right)

This might be playing it safe given Davis' win earlier this year, but there's no reason to think she won't have a shiny Golden Globe to set alongside (or behind) the Emmy after Sunday night. But Davis is the logical (maybe too logical) choice here; her performance on HTGAWM is always strong and manages to legitimize the series in ways it might struggle with if it didn't have

Amir Bar-Lev, the director of the film, spent an entire year with the Olmsteads shooting this documentary. He became aware of them by reading a story about Marla and her paintings in the New York Times. His initial approach to the documentary was to take a look at the world of modern art, but as things progressed he saw that the real story was what was going on with Marla and her fam

The documentary has an interview with a New York Times art critic who discusses modern (or abstract) art and the reasons behind the sometimes apparently insane valuations for what looks like some paint splashed on a canvas. Part of his explanation is that the story behind the artwork contributes to the value. What has the artist gone through, for example? In Marlas's case part of the value is due to the fact of her young age and the apparent sophistication of the w

Surprisingly, neither Steven Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin nor Disney's 2D animated critical darling, Winnie the Pooh , is a contender for Best Animated Feature. However, despite Stephen Daldry's critic-dividing Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close landing a Best Pic nod over a more universally-beloved title like, say, Warrior , that selection was (unfortunately) expec

No one's 2015 could possibly compare to Oscar Isaac's 2015. The guy was everywhere and yet you still felt like you couldn't get enough. A lot of that is due to him turning in intimate, challenging performances like he did in Show Me a Hero , while also being the best damned fighter pilot in the resistance in Star Wars: The Force Awakens . He's the sort of superstar that seems destined to attract as much blockbuster attention as awards recognit

Filmmaker Michel Hazanavicius' black-and-white silent Film Festival Games Collectibles|Https://Moviefestivalhub.Com/ homage, The Artist , led the way with six Globe nods total; co-writer/helmer Alexander Payne's The Descendants and director Tate Taylor's The Help were close behind. That heavily-praised dramedy and popular literary adaptation (respectively) managed to snag five nominations each, putting them one ahead of Descendants star George Clooney's latest directorial effort, The Ides of March and Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris , which each stacked up four nods. Steven Spielberg's latest dramatic offering, War Horse , was right behind that pair with three nominations in technical categories; Albert Nobbs also managed to secure three nods, in the areas of acting and original music, while Moneyball landed three for Best Drama, Actor, and Screenp

While he may be Catholic, he still has the ultra-strict personality of a Middle Eastern father. The next morning when Jasira shows up for breakfast wearing pajamas but obviously without a bra - he promptly slaps her across the face and tells her to put on something dec
