Adam McKay91裸聊视频檚 Dick Cheney biopic 91裸聊视频淰ice91裸聊视频� seized control of the 76th annual Golden Globe Awards with a leading six nominations, narrowly edging Bradley Cooper91裸聊视频檚 tear-jerking revival 91裸聊视频淎 Star Is Born,91裸聊视频� the interracial road-trip drama 91裸聊视频淕reen Book91裸聊视频� and the period romp 91裸聊视频淭he Favourite.91裸聊视频�
91裸聊视频淰ice91裸聊视频� topped all contenders Thursday, in nominations announced at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, including best picture, comedy and best actor nominations for Christian Bale91裸聊视频檚 nearly unrecognizable performance as the former vice-president. It also earned nominations for Amy Adams91裸聊视频� supporting role as Lynne Cheney, Sam Rockwell91裸聊视频檚 George W. Bush and both the screenplay and direction by McKay, the veteran comedy filmmaker who once skewered politicians as a 91裸聊视频淪aturday Night Live91裸聊视频� writer.
For even the often-quirky selections of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, a collection of 88 mostly less-known freelance film journalists, the strong support for 91裸聊视频淰ice91裸聊视频� (which arrives in theatres on Dec. 25) was a surprise. Even its categorization of the film 91裸聊视频� a highly critical portrait of Cheney as a power-hungry, behind-the-scenes tyrant 91裸聊视频� as a comedy raised some eyebrows, just as Globes recent comedy selections 91裸聊视频淕et Out91裸聊视频� and 91裸聊视频淭he Martian91裸聊视频� did.
But it was far from a runaway win for 91裸聊视频淰ice91裸聊视频� as the press association typically spread its awards around. Oscar front-runners 91裸聊视频淎 Star Is Born,91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频滸reen Book91裸聊视频� and 91裸聊视频淭he Favourite91裸聊视频� trailed close behind with five nominations each.
Curiously, the Hollywood Foreign Press doesn91裸聊视频檛 consider foreign-language films for best film, so Alfonso Cuaron91裸聊视频檚 acclaimed Netflix drama 91裸聊视频淩oma91裸聊视频� was left out of the Globes91裸聊视频� top category. It was still nominated for best screenplay, best director and best foreign language film.
Joining 91裸聊视频淎 Star Is Born91裸聊视频� in the best picture, drama category was Ryan Coogler91裸聊视频檚 superhero sensation 91裸聊视频淏lack Panther,91裸聊视频� Spike Lee91裸聊视频檚 urgent white nationalist drama 91裸聊视频淏lacKkKlansman,91裸聊视频� the Freddie Mercury biopic 91裸聊视频淏ohemian Rhapsody91裸聊视频� and Barry Jenkins91裸聊视频� James Baldwin adaption 91裸聊视频淚f Beale Street Could Talk.91裸聊视频�
All earned nods in other categories, too, including Rami Malek91裸聊视频檚 prosthetic tooth-aided performance as Mercury and the leading turn by John David Washington (son of Denzel) in 91裸聊视频淏lacKkKlansman.91裸聊视频�
Up for best picture comedy alongside 91裸聊视频淰ice91裸聊视频� are Yorgas Lanthimos91裸聊视频� wild palace power struggle 91裸聊视频淭he Favourite,91裸聊视频� Peter Farrelly91裸聊视频檚 divisive crowd-pleaser 91裸聊视频淕reen Book,91裸聊视频� the upcoming Disney sequel 91裸聊视频淢ary Poppins Returns91裸聊视频� and the rom-com hit 91裸聊视频淐razy Rich Asians.91裸聊视频�
Damien Chazelle91裸聊视频檚 Neil Armstrong biopic 91裸聊视频淔irst Man,91裸聊视频� which has seen its awards hope wane in recent weeks, failed to liftoff, scoring neither a best film nod, nor one for Ryan Gosling91裸聊视频檚 leading performance. (It did land nominations for Claire Foy and its score.)
Also left out, to gasps heard across social media, was Ethan Hawke91裸聊视频檚 performance as an anguished pastor in 91裸聊视频淔irst Reformed91裸聊视频� and Pawel Pawlikowski91裸聊视频檚 Polish stunner 91裸聊视频淐old War,91裸聊视频� his follow-up to the Oscar-winning 91裸聊视频淚da.91裸聊视频� (The nominees for best foreign language film alongside 91裸聊视频淩oma91裸聊视频� were 91裸聊视频淐apernaum,91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频滸irl,91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频漀ever Look Away91裸聊视频� and 91裸聊视频淪hoplifters.91裸聊视频�)
But the Globes also handed nominations toward some up-and-comers, including Lucas Hedges (91裸聊视频淏oy Erased91裸聊视频�), Timothee Chalamet (91裸聊视频淏eautiful Boy91裸聊视频�) and Elsie Fisher, the 15-year-old star of the coming-of-age tale 91裸聊视频淓ighth Grade.91裸聊视频�
And it also made room for some old favourites: Robert Redford, in what he has said may (or may not) be his final acting performance, received his 10th Globe nomination for 91裸聊视频淭he Old Man & the Gun.91裸聊视频� He was given the group91裸聊视频檚 Cecil B. DeMille achievement award in 1994.
The nominees for best animated film were: 91裸聊视频淚ncredibles 2,91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频滻sle of Dogs,91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频滿irai,91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频漅alph Breaks the Internet91裸聊视频� and 91裸聊视频淪pider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.91裸聊视频�
The ratings for last January91裸聊视频檚 broadcast, hosted by Seth Meyers and graced with an impassioned speech by Oprah Winfrey, dipped 5 per cent with approximately 19 million viewers. As the first major award show following the Harvey Weinstein revelations and subsequent launch of the #MeToo movement, the usually more frivolous ceremony had an atypical edge of seriousness. In a demonstration organized by the then-just-founded Time91裸聊视频檚 Up, many women wore black on the red carpet.
Whether this year will return the Globes to their more lighthearted celebrations will rest partly with its unexpected pairing of Andy Samberg and 91裸聊视频淜illing Eve91裸聊视频� star Sandra Oh, who on Thursday was nominated for best actress in a TV series drama. They were announced as hosts to the Jan. 6 ceremony, to be broadcast live on NBC.
