Mad Max: Fury Road and Cate Blanchett among 73rd annual Golden Globes Nominees

It is the award ceremony that recognises the hard work and talents of the film and TV industry’s elite. The 73rd annual Golden Globes will take place on January 10, 2016 with none other than Ricky Gervais hosting for the fourth time.

A lot of our favourites are nominated including our very own Cate Blanchett, who has been nominated for Best Performance in a Motion Picture – Drama for her role as Carol Aird in Carol. Aussie flick Mad Max: Fury Road is also in contention for Best Picture as is its Director, Australia’s George Miller.

In fact, Carol is looking to be the hot favourite with five nominations, followed closely by Steve Jobs, The Big Short and The Revenant who each have four nominations. The Martian was a bit of a surprise, enjoying three nominations, as was Trainwreck which has two – including a nod for Amy Schumer.

Interesting to note, American Horror Story and Orange Is The New Black only have two nominations each, while Game of Thrones only has a single nomination – for Best Drama Series. Seems as though the newer kids on the block, American Crime, Fargo, Mr. Robot, Outlander, Transparent and Wolf Hall, are taking charge this year with three nominations each.

The list of nominees will surely not disappoint, so take a close look and see which of your favourite films, TV series, actors and actresses have been given the prestigious nomination – an indication of what may come to take the stage at the Oscars later in the year…
