Golden Globes Nominations Revealed

The Golden Globe nominations were announced, and with it, some selections (or lack thereof) seemed to take some by surprise.

For Best Animated Feature, the nominees hail from the more traditional segment of the industry (CGI productions from the US), rather than stylized international films. Also, this year had three well-made stop-motion movies in contention, with only one, “Frankenweenie,” making the short list.

As for Best Picture in the Drama category, the invisible effects-heavy movie “Life of Pi” is sharing the nomination with the political dramas “Lincoln” and “Argo,” as well as the period western “Django Unchained” and another real-life re-creation of another US crisis situation abroad, “Zero Dark Thirty,” depicting Navy SEAL Team 6’s hunt for Osama bin Laden.
