The 2016 Golden Globes Nominations Rundown: 'Carol' Leads with 5 Nominations, 'Brooklyn' Snubbed


With the close of 2015, the buzz and anticipation for everything awards season is already under way with the Golden Globes kicking off the awards season with their nominations this morning. The Globes are one of the awards shows that combines both the movie and TV world, something the Critic's Choice Awards will also be doing in January. 
And although I still can't understand how a film like The Martian is categorized under comedy/musical, there were several films and TV shows expected to be nominated and some that didn’t make the cut. Critically-acclaimed film, Brooklyn, a movie that was nominated for various critic association awards, including our very own WAFCA, is snubbed in the best motion picture category. However, lead actress Saoirse Ronan is at least nominated for her superb performance in the aforementioned film. 
Leonardo DiCaprio nabs a best actor nod for The Revenant and acclaimed drama, Mr. Robot, is nominated for best TV drama. The Big Short is recognized in four categories, Carol leads with five, and SpotlightThe Danish Girl, The Hateful Eight, The Martian, and Room receive three nominations, respectively. Denzel Washington will be honored and is slated to receive the Cecil B. Demille Award for lifetime achievement. 
The 2016 Golden Globes will be hosted by comedian Ricky Gervais, taking over from Tina Fey and Amy Poehler and will air on NBC on January 10, 2016.
