Not to disparage our own WAFCA Awards or any other critic group awards, but now the big boys are coming out to play. This morning the Hollywood Foreign Press Association revealed their nominees for the 2015 Golden Globes, and while there were a few surprises to be found it was
Birdman and
Boyhood maintaining their strong momentum.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's meta Hollywood satire led all with seven nominations, including Best Director, Best Picture- Comedy or Musical, Best Actor-Comedy or Musical for star Michael Keaton, and Best Supporting Actress for Emma Stone.
Boyhood was tied with
The Imitation Game with five nominations, while David Fincher's
Gone Girl came away with four. Also with four was Ava DuVernay's Martin Luther King Jr. biopic,
Selma, which only yesterday was completely snubbed by the Screen Actors Guild. DuVernay becomes the first African-American woman ever nominated for a Golden Globe in the category.
Jennifer Aniston earned a Best Actress nod for her performance in Cake, although much of the attention seems focused on how unglamorous the role is. The British gay rights comedy
Pride surprisingly was nominated for Best Picture (Comedy or Musical), while Julianne Moore earned Best Actress nominations for both comedy and drama for
Maps to the Stars and
Still Alice. Full list of nominees is below.
The Golden Globes will be hosted by Amy Poehler and Tina Fey on January 11th.
