The 78th Annual Golden Globe Nominations


This has been the weirdest year for Hollywood. I have never felt more unattached to the industry. My usual 50-ish movies a year in theaters disappeared. I've seen one movie in a theater in the past ten months. But some theaters are managing to stay open and hopefully some time this year, attendance will get back to a more normal level.

The Golden Globes this year also look like the wackiest crop in a long time. Sacha Baron Cohen nominated for acting twice? Better Call Saul is not nominated for Best TV Drama but Ratched is?
