Fox’s “Glee,” last year’s Golden Globe winner for best comedy or musical, led the way this time around with five nominations and a chance to sweep the Globes’ major television categories.
“Glee” has the opportunity to repeat as best series. In fact, all the TV series and actors who picked up trophies at the Golden Globes ceremony last winter have a chance to do so again in a largely predictable set of nominations announced in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Tuesday.
Matthew Morrison and Lea Michele of “Glee’ earned best actor nominations in the musical or comedy category. Chris Colfer and Jane Lynch of the series have supporting nominations.
Another sophomore series that is growing in popularity, ABC’s “Modern Family” — which shows the diversity of contemporary American family life — was among eight programs to earn three nominations apiece. But that was relatively modest compared to the Emmy Awards, where five of the show’s actors were nominated in supporting roles. The Globes named only Emmy winner Eric Stonestreet and Sofia Vergara as supporting actor nominees.
The tiny AMC network beat all its rivals with two nominations for best drama series: “Mad Men,” which has won this category three years in a row; and this year’s zombie sensation, “The Walking Dead.” Other top drama nominees were Showtime’s “Dexter,” HBO’s new “Boardwalk Empire” and CBS’ “The Good Wife.”
Besides “Glee” and “Modern Family,” best comedy nominees included “The Big C” and “Nurse Jackie” from Showtime, NBC’s “30 Rock” and CBS’ “The Big Bang Theory.”
Two actors in their final years with series — Steve Carell on NBC’s “The Office” and Kyra Sedgwick of TNT’s “The Closer” — both received Golden Globe nominations.
HBO’s “Temple Grandin” and Starz’s “Pillars of the Earth” were the most honored productions in the miniseries or movie category, with three nominations each. They are nominated for best movie or miniseries, along with HBO’s “The Pacific” and “You Don’t Know Jack,” and “Carlos” from the Sundance Channel.
Al Pacino, Judi Dench, Dennis Quaid, Claire Danes, Ian McShane and Jennifer Love Hewitt are among the well-known actors with Golden Globes nominations for movies or miniseries.
Oscar Nominees Delve Into The Art Of Editing At ACE Session
You couldn’t miss Sean Baker at this past Sunday’s Oscar ceremony where he won for Best Picture, Directing, Original Screenplay and Editing on the strength of Anora. However, earlier that weekend he was in transit from the Cesar Awards in Paris and thus couldn’t attend the American Cinema Editors (ACE) 25th annual panel of Academy Award-nominated film editors held at the Regal LA Live Auditorium on Saturday (3/1) in Los Angeles. While the eventual Oscar winner in the editing category was missed by those who turned out for the ACE “Invisible Art, Visible Artists” session, three of Baker’s fellow nominees were on hand--Dávid Jancsó, HSE for The Brutalist; Nick Emerson for Conclave; and Myron Kerstein, ACE for Wicked. Additionally, Juliette Welfling, who couldn’t appear in person due to the Cesar Awards, was present via an earlier recorded video interview to discuss her work on Emilia Pérez. The interview was conducted by ACE president and editor Sabrina Plisco, ACE who also moderated the live panel discussion. Kerstein said that he was the beneficiary of brilliant and generous collaborators, citing, among others, director Jon M. Chu, cinematographer Alice Brooks, and visual effects supervisor Pablo Helman. The editor added it always helps to have stellar acting performances, noting that hearing Cynthia Erivo, for example, sing live was a revelation. Kerstein recalled meeting Chu some eight years ago on a “blind Skype date” and it was an instant “bromance”--which began on Crazy Rich Asians, and then continued on such projects as the streaming series Home Before Dark and the feature In The Heights. Kerstein observed that Chu is expert in providing collaborators with... Read More
