Are the Globes a tell-tale sign of what is to come with the Oscars? Sometimes. With this I think the Oscars might be full of dark horses. I would watch out for Her, Dallas Buyers Club, and The Wolf of Wall Street. If those get nominations they might just take them. A lot of people were certain 12 Years a Slave and/or Gravity were going to sweep and that didn't happen. The frontrunner so far seems to be American Hustle which is well deserved.
This also marks the first in many years where a Pixar film did not take home Best Animated Feature. The reason being they did not nominate Monsters University. I am pretty sure Pixar would have taken it over Frozen if it was nominated. I'm pretty certain the Oscars won't exclude Pixar, but we will see.

The 2014 Golden Globes has its nominations. 12 Years a Slave and American Hustle lead the nominations with 7 each. I think these, as always, will serve as a precursor of what to expect for the Oscars. I expect lots of 12 Years a Slave and American Hustle. However, Gravity could be a dark horse as well as Dallas Buyers Club.

Poehler and Fey to host Golden Globes in 2014 and 2015

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler certainly made an impression with their hosting chops earlier this year. The SNL alums have been booked to return as hosts for the Golden Globes in 2014 and 2015. This comes after the pair set a 6-year high in ratings drawing in a total of $19 million viewers.

All I have to say is I hope you liked them because they're back! I'm just happy Ricky Gervais won't host.

[Updated with winners] 2013 Golden Globe nominations; Lincoln leads

Ah yes, all the nominations are in full swing. The Globes at least gave us some variety by including Salmon Fishing in the Yemen and more of The Master and Django Unchained, but they are still quite similar to the Critics Choice and SAG nominees. I am surprised that they stiffed ParaNorman for Best Animated Film, though. It should have been there over Hotel Transylvania. I can only predict what the Oscars will be.
The Golden Globes are set to air on January 13, 2013.

Oscar nominations to precede Golden Globes in 2013

The powers that be who run the Academy Awards have shuffled things for the 2013 awards season. Usually nominations for the Academy Awards follow the Golden Globes, but in 2013 the Oscar nominees will be announced on January 10th which puts the announcement 3 days before the Globes. This is a good movie, imo. The Golden Globes always seem to be more playful than serious and I think they always had an unnecessary lean on how the Oscar nominations turn out based on who wins or whatever. Hopefully we get good nominees. I thought the 2012 awards were a joke for the most part. Half the people who won didn't deserve to even be nominated.

The 2013 Academy Awards are set to air on February 24th.

I am legitimately in shock that Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross didn't take home Best Original Score. I am also quite disappointed that Evan Rachel Wood lost to Jessica Lange. I also feel like I need to see both The Descendents and The Artist since they are the big winners so far.

The lines in bold are my picks. Not every category is highlighted and I know I picked Rooney Mara and still have until the 21st but I don't really care. Some that I wanted are missing (Emma Stone, Chloe Moretz and Melissa McCarthy) but sometimes the ones who decide just don't know what they are talking about.
