So, the 2017 Golden Globe nominations were announced today and can I say that I am extremely disappointed this year. Let me tell you why! First, Sully was not nominated for an award and neither was Tom Hanks. Seriously? That was probably one of the best movies of the year and Tom Hanks did an outstanding job portraying Sully Sullenberger. Now, I am not saying the nominees for best drama movie aren’t worthy of an award because they are, but I am just shocked Sully wasn’t nominated.
Oh, and why was Martin Scorsese not anywhere in the nominations? Really? He is one of the best directors out there. Scorsese has directed big name films like Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Gangs of New York, Shutter Island and this year he directed Silence. He definitely deserves a place on the 74th Annual Golden Globe Awards Nominations list!
Anyways, the Golden Globe award honors the best in domestic and foreign movie and television. The 74th 2017 Golden Globe Awards ceremony will take place on January 8, 2017 at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. Late-night talk show host Jimmy Fallon will host the awards ceremony. So, here are the nominees and my predictions!
