> **[Nominations for the 78th Golden Globe Awards (2021) Announced](https://www.goldenglobes.com/articles/2021-nominations-78th-golden-globe-awards-have-been-announced)** > > The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) has announced the nominees for the 78th Annual Golden Globe Awards. Sarah Jessica Parker, six-time Golden Globe winner, and Taraji P. Henson, Golden Globe winner, disclosed the nominees. > For the first... I can’t say that I’ve heard of even 90% of the movies listed. I don’t usually do a great job of seeing a lot of nominees, but I’m generally aware of their existence. Covid has really eaten into that this year, even though there seem to be a lot of films that are available on streaming. I’m much more familiar with the television side of things. For comedy, I want to root for both Ted Lasso and Schitt’s Creek - I suspect Schitt’s Creek will sweep their nominations wherever they have the chance. ---

For the movies, I’ve seen only _Palm Springs_ and _News of the World_, plus all five animated. ---

I have to say that while I haven’t seen many, some of the nominations for the ones I have seen aren’t bowling me over. I’ve seen Viola Davis put in much better performances than her (admittedly still excellent) one in _Ma Rainey_, although Boseman should be a strong contender even without any sympathy bias. I actually find Miranda a weak performer in his own show (_Hamilton_ itself is of course stupendous). _Onward_ and _Soul_ were…fine. I enjoyed _Chicago 7_ but to be honest it’s Mark Rylance and Yahya Abdul-Mateen who stood out most in that IMO, not Cohen. It’s really in the “Limited Series” categories that I find the strong contenders, especially the actresses. _Queen’s Gambit_ for the series, but Anya Taylor-Joy, Cate Blanchett or Shira Haas? That’s a toughie. ---

No nomination for Rhea Seehorn in _Saul_? That seems ridiculous, although admittedly I haven’t seen everything else. It would be nice to see some awards for _Ted Lasso_, but I won’t hold my breath. ---

I also hope Ted Lasso gets all the awards! I’m only eight episodes in but totally in love. I think it’s a shame I May Destroy You didn’t get any nods. I’ve cried more at that show than I have in a long time. ---

I’ve seen a few of the movies. Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom Mank The Trial of the Chicago 7 Hillbilly Elegy News of the World The Little Things One Night in Miami… The Midnight Sky Tenet Also, not nominated for any Golden Globes, but I’ve seen some Oscar pub for the following that I’ve seen: First Cow Da 5 Bloods While all entertaining enough, none of them has really blown me away. I wouldn’t say “You’ve gotta see this movie” for any of them. I will likely see fairly soon: Nomadland Judas and the Black Messiah Minari The Father Promising Young Woman ---

Its is amazing that _I May Destroy You_ didn’t get a single nomination. It’s by far the most popular show on critics lists this year. ---

Of the Best Drama film nominees, I’ve seen: **Mank** **Promising Young Woman** **Trial of the Chicago 7** **The Father** and **Nomadland** are not yet streaming, they will be released later this month. For Best Comedy/Musical I’ve seen: **Hamilton** **Borat** **Palm Springs** Have not yet seen **The Prom**. **Music** is the only title I have never heard of. ---

> [@ISiddiqui](#): > > Its is amazing that _I May Destroy You_ didn’t get a single nomination. It’s by far the most popular show on critics lists this year. Yeah, that’s a glaring omission. Not a single mention of Michaela Coel anywhere, despite her writing, producing, directing and starring in a phenomenal show. Not sure WTF happened there. ---

Do they do craft (cinematography, sound editing, etc) awards? Mandalorian would probably get some of those Glad Jane Levy got a nomination (Zoey may not be the best show, but JL is a delight) – don’t think she will win. I haven’t seen any of them, but just based on buzz Queen’s Gambit has to be the favorite. Brian ---
