The 2013 Golden Globes are right around the corner and, looking at the full list of this year’s nominees, we can tell it’s going to be a competitive year for the awards! Honestly, this is one of the best awards because it’s a healthy mixture of fun and seriousness. A perfect, happy medium.
The Best Motion Picture category contains many films that people expected to be nominated, including Argo, Lincoln, and Zero Dark Thirty. I was a little surprised to see The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel make it onto The Best Comedy or Musical category, but I’m glad it did because it was such a wonderful, complex, heartwarming narrative, and it features some of the acting greats, including Judi Dench — also rightly nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy of Musical. The Silver Linings Playbook, a wonderful film, also got several nominations as well.
The 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards Nominations were held December 13th in the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel. After you glance over the nominations list, be sure to check out the below gallery, which captures the magic of the ceremony!
