One of the most important awards shows before the Oscars is the Golden Globes, even though they really have no affect on the Oscar race. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association always puts on a fun show and do some interesting things. For example, they split Drama and Comedy, which allows for some weird films to make it into the race. This year, there were some interesting choices as well. Here are this year's Golden Globe nominees:

That is an interesting and eclectic group of nominees. I noted a few things that could have a major impact on the Oscar race. For starters, Foxcatcher is not out of this yet. The film picked up several nominations and I think that it's still in the heat of the race. Also, The Grand Budapest Hotel is definitely a contender, after these nominations and its multiple wins at the LA Film Critics Awards last weekend. It's one to look out for. I'm slightly surprised by all the snubs for Interstellar and Unbroken, but they're not the contenders we initially thought they were. All in all, there are a few weeks to go before things heat up again, but a lot of movies are in good shape at this point.
The SAG awards were also announced this week. Check them out below!

Some more interesting choices here. The fact that Duvall and Watts made it into the supporting categories is surprising to me. However, it looks like Foxcatcher, The Grand Budapest Hotel and Jake Gyllenhaal are definitely here to stay for the long haul. All will become even clearer soon.
