The 2019 Golden Globe Nominations Are Out, And Of Course “A Star Is Born” Got A Bunch
The nominations for the 2019 Golden Globe Awards were announced really early this morning, which seems unnecessary. Did everyone need to get up at the crack of dawn? Surely just one person could have grabbed their phone at 4am and texted Lady Gaga “Hey girl, ur officially one step closer to an Oscar nomination, c u at the ceremony.” But that would be just a little much, considering there are other movies that were released this year besides A Star is Born. Although, A Star Is Born didn’t get the most movies nominations, so everyone involved in the making of Vice, should expect to feel the e-mail wrath of the Little Monsters.
Vice, the biopic where Christian Bale got pie thick to play former Vice President Dick Cheney, received six nominations. None of those nominations were for Role In Which I Was Weirdly Attracted to Chunky Christian Bale (also see: American Hustle). The next biggest nominees were A Star is Born, The Favorite, and Green Book, which all got five nominations each. Gaga got a nomination for Best Actress, as did the song where she warbles about shallow water (Best Original Song).
Bradley Cooper also received two nominations, for Best Actor and Best Director. These are Bradley’s third and fourth Golden Globe nominations, but he’s never won one.
On the TV side of things, because the Golden Globes are the BOGO of awards shows, The Assassination of Gianni Versace received the most nominations (four). The Hollywood Reporter points out that FX’s Pose made history with their nomination for Best Television Series, Drama, as they’re the first TV series nominated with a mostly trans cast.
The 2019 Golden Globe Awards will air on January 6th, and will be hosted by Andy Samberg and Sandra Oh (who also happened to get a nomination today, for Killing Eve).
Of course, the nominations aren’t without their obvious snubs. Widows got nothing – no Best Actress for Viola Davis or Best Dog for Olivia. Black Panther got three nominations, but none were for Michael B. Jordan’s performance. Ethan Hawke felt like a shoo-in for First Reformed, but none for him. But the biggest snub of all might be that there was no Best Drama nomination for the Today show. I know it technically wouldn’t count, but to me, watching Megyn Kelly implode on live TV made for a thrilling drama.
