The Favourite Scores a Lot of Nominations for 2019 Golden Globes

Despite the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the governing body behind The Golden Globes, continuing to wrongly lump musicals and comedy into the same category (as well as making highly debatable distinctions as to what counts for a comedy such as The Martian), it still remains of one of the major awards leading into the awards season (the actual awards will be presented on Jan. 6th with Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg co-hosting) and thus worth noting. 

Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Favourite, rightfully so in our opinion, got plenty of love in many of the categories including Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz being nominated in the very same category. We also dug Eighth Grade, Isle of Dogs, Old Man and the Gun, and The Good Place getting nominations here. Adam McKay’s politically charged dramedy-biopic of Dick Cheney Vice scored more than a couple of noms, which bodes well for its upcoming Christmas release and definitely peaks our interest a little more. 

That being said, we’re willing to bet that one (if not many) of your favorite TV comedies got snubbed.
