Golden Globes Nominations 2017 -- UPDATED W/ WINNERS

Hey, so I forgot about this blog again. BUT awards season is starting! So. As usual, the Golden Globes are first, and here are the nods! I'll probably do a separate post listing the winners so the updated post doesn't get lost. I'm excited! Although as usual, I may not get to watch the broadcast live. Damn lack of cable and no online viewing options for Canadians.

UPDATE: I did not get to watch the broadcast but bolded titles/people are winners, as usual! (And I decided to just update the post after all.)

BEST MOTION PICTURE - DRAMA

Moonlight
Hell or High Water
Lion
Manchester By the Sea
Hacksaw Ridge

BEST MOTION PICTURE - MUSICAL OR COMEDY

La La Land
20th Century Women
Deadpool
Florence Foster Jenkins
Sing Street

I just saw La La Land tonight, and I could barely speak as the end credits rolled. I was so moved and awed by this film; this is what dreams, and movies, are made of. This reminded me of why I love the movies. It had the nostalgic feel of those original movie musicals that were so loved, but had modern elements that worked seamlessly.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE - DRAMA

Isabelle Huppert - Elle
Amy Adams - Arrival
Jessica Chastain - Miss Sloane
Ruth Negga - Loving
Natalie Portman - Jackie

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE - DRAMA

Casey Affleck - Manchester By the Sea
Joel Edgerton - Loving
Andrew Garfield - Hacksaw Ridge
Viggo Mortenson - Captain Fantastic
Denzel Washington - Fences

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE - MUSICAL OR COMEDY

Emma Stone - La La Land
Annette Bening - 20th Century Women
Lily Collins - Rules Don't Apply
Hailee Steinfeld - The Edge of Seventeen
Meryl Streep - Florence Foster Jenkins

Emma. She is old Hollywood glamour and relatable girl in this. She's the whole package. During the song about her aunt jumping in the Seine, tears streamed down my face, simply because of the power in her voice and face. She moved me, more than I have been moved by a performance in a long time. I'm predicting Oscar, even if she is up against Meryl.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE - MUSICAL OR COMEDY

Ryan Gosling - La La Land
Colin Farrell - The Lobster
Hugh Grant - Florence Foster Jenkins
Jonah Hill - War Dogs
Ryan Reynolds - Deadpool

I'm in agreement. Gosling is an all-time favourite of mine, but in this, he was incredible. I hadn't heard him sing before that I remember, but he was excellent. And to find out that that is him playing the piano like an absolute boss was amazing. I adored him, as usual.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN ANY MOTION PICTURE

Viola Davis - Fences
Naomie Harris - Moonlight
Nicole Kidman - Lion
Octavia Spencer - Hidden Figures
Michelle Williams - Manchester By the Sea

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN ANY MOTION PICTURE

Aaron Taylor-Johnson - Nocturnal Animals
Mahershala Ali - Moonlight
Jeff Bridges - Hell or High Water
Simon Helberg - Florence Foster Jenkins
Dev Patel - Lion

BEST DIRECTOR - MOTION PICTURE

Damien Chazelle - La La Land
Tom Ford - Nocturnal Animals
Mel Gibson - Hacksaw Ridge
Barry Jenkins - Moonlight
Kenneth Lonergan - Manchester By the Sea

BEST SCREENPLAY - MOTION PICTURE

Damien Chazelle - La La Land
Tom Ford - Nocturnal Animals
Barry Jenkins - Moonlight
Kenneth Lonergan - Manchester By the Sea
Taylor Sheridan - Hell or High Water

What entirely disappoints me about these two previous categories is the same faces, and the complete and utter lack of women. It isn't like women created nothing. (Example.) I don't fault Chazelle's wins in both categories; as expressed above, that film floored me. But I know there could have been more diversity. We're still working to be represented, and I don't think it's an unimportant consideration going into the new year.

Moana
My Life As a Zucchini
Sing
Kubo and the Two Strings

"Can't Stop the Feeling" - Trolls
"Faith" - Sing
"Gold" - Gold
"How Far I'll Go" - Moana

BEST TELEVISION SERIES - DRAMA

I'm a freely admitted royals addict, so of course I watched this. It was done respectfully and was fascinating, and absolutely incredibly acted. A deftly painted portrait.

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
Rita Moreno


I feel like Rob Lowe is STILL a teen heartthrob. An all ages heartthrob.

I love Steve Coogan! He gets nowhere near enough love. He's brilliant, and also brilliantly funny.

Oh Cuba Gooding Jr! I haven't seen anything from him lately. I'm excited to see him again.

Did Brad Pitt shape his hair like that for a role? Interesting haircut.

Matt Damon and glasses = ideal. But also, thanks for being amazing.

Shockingly, I was NOT spoiled for these awards! This is all brand new information. NOTE: I saw August: Osage County, and it was spectacular to me. Well deserved nominations for Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep. Also, can we talk about Benedict Cumberbatch MORE PLEASE?

LOVE that - "shining a light under the floorboards of this nation and showing what we stand on." A really affecting line from Lupita's speech. And a shoutout to Yale Drama."Do you know Brad Pitt, Daddy? I'm going to be in a movie with him." "I don't know him personally, but I'm glad you got a job." Amazing anecdote!

Well, at least Jeremy Renner got to BE THERE. STILL MAD ABOUT THE LACK OF RECOGNITION.

There has been a lot of controversy on my Twitter feed about American Hustle lately, but I am firmly in the 'I love it' camp.

I am really glad to see a newcomer getting such great recognition, especially for what seems to be kind of a scary role. It's important to recognise newcomers in their own right, and not just as newcomers, as many award shows seem to do. Barkhad Abdi FTW!

I had NO IDEA Jared Leto hadn't ever been nominated for a SAG before. Travesty, but I'm so glad that he did get to win. "Wonderful tribe of dreamers" - love that description of SAG-AFTRA!And thank you, Jared, for dedicating it to those who have been affected by this disease. This is so important; I believe it's way more important than thanking people who got the performer the job or the like; it almost makes people forget who the film would really impact, especially when it comes to iconic stories such as this. I need to see Dallas Buyers Club very soon.

Tina Fey's last nomination for 30 Rock! Kind of bittersweet. But well deserved.

Bahahaha adorable acceptance speech from Julia Louis-Dreyfus! Sometimes the comedy bits get tired, but this one stayed fresh and funny!

I love to watch those camera shots when the subjects have no idea they're being filmed. Dame Helen Mirren looked like she was about to fall asleep.

DID I JUST NOT KNOW THAT JOHN CUSACK IS IN THE BUTLER? (Also, why do we always have to call it Lee Daniels' The Butler? I understand he made it, but I've never really understood the practice of owning a film in that way.)

Fourth consecutive win for Modern Family ensemble! People truly love this show. I do enjoy it. Also, "we're going to make Sofia talk, because America loves her and her boobs." This is very true.

I'm a big fan of presidents' speeches, actually. Always interesting to see the people behind these organisations! Also, you gotta love the Dakota Fanning shout out. (I'M FOUR YEARS OLDER THAN DAKOTA FANNING, IN OTHER WORDS. MY LIFE IS NOTHING.)

I feel like Elisabeth Moss is actually adorable. She looks so happy for Helen - and that's such a great thing to see. And Helen just returned that - oh my goodness! She gave her a special round of applause, from herself. If I were Elisabeth, I would probably flip out.

EMMA THOMPSON FOR HOSTING ALL THE AWARD SHOWS EVER. Preferably including Ewan McGregor with that fantastic hair.

You gotta love EGOTs! There's only been eleven so far. I'm always rooting for people to get there; it's such an achievement. And Rita Moreno is well deserving! This woman. This. Woman. This actress. (And yes, I say actress. That's a WHOLE other blog post.) Getting to hear her sing on her feet is phenomenal as well. My mum also just said she's better than Diane Keaton. WELL, YEAH.

The In Memoriam section always makes me cry. But it's so important to have. Although it also makes me a little sad that sometimes people die, and you have no idea, because they didn't fit the definition of being famous anymore. It's weird to think of how the media explodes about certain deaths, but not others. It also makes you think about death and how people react to it. But I think In Memoriam segments are a great way of remembering and honouring those who have passed.
