On Thursday the nominees for the 70th annual Golden Globe awards were announced. The award ceremony will be held Sunday, Jan. 13, 2013 at 8 p.m. EST. The hosts, yes you read that right, there are two, are Amy Poehler and Tina Fey.
Unfortunately, I will not be able to make my own personal predictions at this time, although I hope to come back and do so later, since some of the films have not been released yet. Seeing as these unreleased films (Django Unchained and Zero Dark Thirty) are early favorites among critics, I’ll wait until early January.
As a side note, I only listed the nominees for awards given to motion pictures, no television or mini-series are included.
