Swedish actress Alicia Vikander had a big day.
Caitriona Balfe was nominated for a Golden Globe for best actress in a TV drama series for her role in “Outlander”, which was nominated for best drama.. Rylance scored nominations for his elegant spy turn in “Bridge of Spies” and his rich work in BBC TV’s miniseries “Wolf Hall”. We are absolutely thrilled to have our global comedy Spy and its unbelievable star Melissa McCarthy nominated. It was nearly a given that the film’s cast would be nominated for best ensemble.
Best television drama series nominations include HBO’s Game of Thrones and Netflix’s Narcos.
Brie Larson, best actress nominee for “Room”: “Wow”.
On the other hand, some films and performers were shut out of key categories. Traditional TV networks like the above mentioned NBC, ABC, and CBS, as well as FOX, have consistently lead the list of nominees over the years. There are plenty of viewers who will be pleased by the three nominations for “Outlander”, Ron Moore’s ambitious adaptation of Diana Gabaldon’s best-selling romance novels.
Quentin Tarantino’s “The Hateful Eight” also got left out in the cold.
Tied with four is the Aaron Sorkin-scripted box-office disappointment “Steve Jobs”.
Timothy Gray, awards editor at industry magazine Variety, said the nominations reflected the cross-section of films in the running for this year’s prizes.

-Actor, Drama: Bryan Cranston, “Trumbo”; Leonardo DiCaprio, “The Revenant”; Michael Fassbender, “Steve Jobs”; Eddie Redmayne, “The Danish Girl”; Will Smith, “Concussion”. Mark Ruffalo is up for Best Actor in the Comedy Or Musical category, too – for his performance as a husband and father struggling profoundly with bipolar disorder in Infinitely Polar Bear. But instead, the Globes awarded the AARP slots in the category to Maggie Smith (“Lady in the Van”) and Lily Tomlin (“Grandma”). The film was also nominated for best screenplay and the movie’s director, Tom McCarthy, received a nod.
Apart from “Carol”, the other best motion picture drama nominees are “Mad Max: Fury Road”, “The Revenant”, harrowing kidnap tale “Room” and “Spotlight”, which recounts the Boston Globe’s investigation into sex abuse in the Catholic Church.
“Joanne Froggatt, best supporting actress nominee for “Downton Abbey”: “‘Downton Abbey’ and Anna Bates have been a big part of my life for some years now. “Casual”, on Hulu, shares the category with “Mozart in the Jungle” and “Transparent” (both on Amazon), “Orange is the New Black” (Netflix), and “Silicon Valley” and “Veep” (HBO).
SNUB: Blythe Danner, “I’ll See You in My Dreams” The scene where Danner gets high in this Sundance indie is hysterical enough for her to deserve recognition in the best actress in a comedy.
