The Golden Globes have announced their nominees for the 2013 awards. Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln garnered the most with 7 nominations; Argo and Django Unchained get five each. A few surprises occurred, namely with Salmon Fishing In The Yemen‘s nominations and Richard Gere for Arbitrage, considering it only had a limited theatrical release and was primarily a VOD title (the world is changing, no doubt). There is also the obvious shocker, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey did not receive any nominations–not even best score. Ouch! Then there’s the “What were they thinking” nomination, namely for Les Miserables as best picture. Credit should be given to the fact that they did not nominate Tom Hooper for direction. Agree, or disagree, with the nominations but they are here to stay.
