Right. We’ll wrap things up there. Things to take away from today’s nominations:
- Birdman was the big winner with seven nominations
- Ava DuVernay became the first black woman to be nominated for the best director gong
- I definitely can’t spell Frances McDormand’s name correctly first thing in the morning
- The TV comedy section saw a complete 360 from last year, with Transparent being a shock inclusion
- Jennifer Aniston continues her awards nomination run of form
- HBO dominated the TV nominations
- Scandal, Orphan Black, Masters Of Sex and Mad Men were snubbed

Peter Bradshaw has file his thoughts on the Globes. Here’s a snippet:
It’s the Globes! Hardly any institution has benefitted more from the rise of the awards-season and the predominance of celebrity culture. Once mocked for being the rackety and faintly preposterous creation of Hollywood’s grandly-titled Foreign Press Association, the Globes is now not just a curtain-raiser for the Oscars, but an event which visibly luxuriates in being happier and more relaxed than the super-important and career-defining Academy awards, a ceremony which now tends to look formal, stressful and anticlimactic in comparison. As hosts, Amy Poehler and Tina Fey have slam-dunked the proceedings for the past two years, cheerfully roasting the A-listers who are visible in TV closeup in a much more relaxed and intimate setting.
Entertainment Weekly have a handy guide to all the SHOCKS and SNUBS from today. One that most people have missed so far is Mad Men getting nothing, not even one measly nomination.
AMC’s Mad Men. Don Draper certainly isn’t getting the send-off that Walter White got. Ahead of its final episodes, one of the pioneers of TV’s current golden age is nowhere to be seen. This is the second year in a row that the Globes have completely shut out Mad Men. Somewhere, Jon Hamm turns to Elisabeth Moss and says, “They know we’re still on TV, right?”
More on Patricia Arquette’s wrapping paper dream now (which is clearly the most important thing to come out of these nominations). The internet informs me that wrapping paper dreams are all about papering over the cracks in your life.
To see gift wrap in your dream suggests that there is something that you are trying to cover up or hide. You are trying to present something unpleasant in a more inviting or cheerful manner. Consider what you are wrapping, as well as the color, pattern and occasion of the wrapping paper for additional significance. Alternatively, the dream symbolizes celebration and happiness. You are acknowledging a special occasion.
Patricia knows a thing or two about bad dreams. She was in Nightmare On Elm Street: Dream Warriors.
My colleagues Gwilym Mumford and Rebecca Nicholson have dug into the TV noms further. Turns out network comedy is in a sorry state.
For the first time in Golden Globes history, not one of the traditional big four networks – NBC, CBS, ABC and FOX – received a nomination for best comedy or musical series. Even that reliable hoover-upper of awards, Modern Family, failed to make the list, with the nods going instead to the relatively young network addition The CW (Jane the Virgin), HBO (Silicon Valley, Girls) and web-based shows (Orange Is The New Black, Transparent). It tells us a lot about both the remarkable rise of the internet upstarts – Amazon, nominated with Transparent, only released their first original series in 2013 – and also the demise of the once-redoubtable network sitcom. And, given the quality of many of the fall additions – Mulaney, Bad Judge – it’s a situation that might not change any time soon.
…and, apparently, it’s all about having movie stars in your shows this year.
A quick glance at the full list of nominations shows just how A-list and Hollywood TV has become: Maggie Gyllenhaal, Clive Owen, Viola Davis, Kevin Spacey, Frances McDormand, Matthew McConaughey, Billy Bob Thornton, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Kathy Bates, Jon Voight and Billy Murray have all been either Academy Award winners or nominees. The small screen has gone huge.
Is it time for another thinkpiece on how TV Is The New Film?
No, it isn’t.
Mashable has looked into the genuinely shocking TV comedy award, which apart from Scandal’s snub and Birdman’s haul is probably the biggest talking point from the nominations.
There was hardly a TV critic in the land that didn’t have glowing things to say about Amazon’s dark comedy Transparent, which stars Jeffrey Tambor as a transgender woman who chooses to live her life as such after going through much of her life as a man.
It’s hardly a surprise that the show scored a nomination for Tambor, who is well known to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the body which determines Globe nominations, for his work on Arrested Development.
But the show’s Best Comedy Series nod is pretty stunning.
Yes, it feels lame to say Amazon should feel honored just to be nominated, but it really should. In earning this spot in the category — alongside the likes of Girls (HBO), Jane the Virgin (CW), OITNB, and Silicon Valley (HBO) — it finds itself in a group that this year excluded huge favorites like Modern Family and The Big Bang Theory.
The Hollywood Reporter has broken down the TV nominations into series, network, and studio. HBO was the big winner with 15 nominations, followed by Showtime with 9 and FX with 8 and Netflix which got 7.
HBO 15
Showtime 9
FX 8
Netflix 7
CBS 4
Amazon 2
PBS 2
Starz 2
The CW 2
ABC 1
Cinemax 1
NBC 1

Some more reactions from stars now.
Colin Hanks is just pleased he didn’t get bad news…
Wow! Normally when your phone starts ringing that early in the morning, something bad happened. Honored.

…while Patricia Arquette was pleased to be woken from a dream about wrapping paper. What does it all mean?
This is much better than the boring wrapping paper dream I was having.-to wake up to @goldenglobes nominations! Thank you!

My colleague Jessica Glenza, has filed a more detailed run down of the nominations with a nice par summing up the best actor category:
Actors normally associated with lighter fare also received best actor nominations for their work in dramas, such as Steve Carell for Foxcatcher and Jennifer Aniston in Cake. Carell’s competition for best actor in a drama included Benedict Cumberbatch in The Imitation Game, Jake Gyllenhaal in Nightcrawler, David Oyelowo in Selma and Eddie Redmayne in The Theory of Everything.
If you want to relive the impressively efficient first part of the ceremony, here’s a handy video:
The nominations themselves were pretty interesting this year with some noticeable snubs, but the focus is already shifting to Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, and who they’re going to take aim at get inspiration from this year.

We now have a handy news piece which gives you the main talking points. Here’s a snippet:
In the best picture, comedy or musical, category, Birdman was joined by St Vincent, Grand Budapest Hotel, Into the Woods and — in a surprise — the independent British film Pride.
One of the surprise winners of the day was The Grand Budapest Hotel. Along with a best picture nod in comedy, it earned nominations for Ralph Fiennes as best actor, and Wes Anderson for screenplay and director.
So, it turned out the SAG award noms were a good(ish) guideline for the Golden Globes.
Birdman was the real winner with seven nominations, both Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey got nods for True Detective and Mark Ruffalo also got a couple of nominations.
It’s worth noting in a fairly muted nomination ceremony the only real cheer came for Ava Duvernay’s (Selma) nom for best director.

Yesterday’s Screen Actors’ Guild award nominations could serve as a guide for possible nods, although it’s worth remembering the voters for the SAG awards have a say in the Oscars, which often differ wildly from the Golden Globes.

In the film section, Birdman came out on top with four noms, including best cast in a motion picture. Boyhood, The Imitation Game and The Theory Of Everything got three each, while Foxcatcher got nominations for Steve Carrel and critics favourite Mark Ruffalo, who also was recognised for his role in the AIDS drama The Normal Heart.
In TV things were spread even thinner with only Modern Family and True Detective (which saw Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey both up for best male in a drama series) picking up nominations in more than one category, other than outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy series. That category will see The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Orange Is The New Black and Veep, all up for the award.

Welcome to our Golden Globes nomination live blog. We’ll be attempting to make sense of the slightly convoluted system which will see the nominations for the 25 categories made in two batches.
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will be co-hosting the actual award show on 11 January 2015, but there is a smattering of star power at the nominations themselves with Kate Beckinsale, Peter Krause, Paula Patton and Jeremy Piven all dragged out of bed by their agent given the honor of handing out the noms to their peers.
