As we said earlier today, we’re in the thick of awards seasons with nominations rolling in from all sides. The SAG Awards nominees were announced this week and just this morning, the announcement for the nominees of The 2015 Golden Globes was made.
Looking over the HFPA’s list of their favorites this year, It seems as if The Grand Budapest Hotel was straddling a lot of awards deadlines getting nominated in several awards last year and still gaining a lot of attention this year with four Golden Globe nominations. Birdman continues to get its due as comedy’s frontrunner for awards this season with 7 nominations and Transparent is starting its inevitable run for getting honors on the TV side with two.
You can see the rest of the comedy nominees below (Note: due to the HFPA’s insistence on genre category juxtaposition-i.e. “Musical or Comedy”-as well as the overall lack of comedy in general categories, we omitted listing certain nominees as they aren’t comedies)
