Now that the Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations have been announced, the only thing that’s clear is that we’re going to have to wait for this year’s Oscar narrative to come into focus.

Alicia Vikander – Nominee for Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama “The Danish Girl” and Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture “Ex-Machina”: “I am truly thrilled and grateful to the HFPA for both these wonderful nominations!”
Gaga’s rivals for Best TV Movie/Limited Series Actress are Kirsten Dunst (“Fargo”), Sarah Hay (“Flesh and Bone”), Felicity Huffman (“American Crime”) and Queen Latifah (“Bessie”). “I didn’t shower.” – “My Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” star Rachel Bloom on her physical condition when finding out about her nomination for best actress in a TV comedy.
Vikander, whose film A Royal Affair was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2013 ceremony, told Entertainment Weekly she was stunned to hear she’d been nominated for not one, but two awards.
From the sumptuous romance of “Carol” to the apocalyptic rage of “Mad Max: Fury Road”, streaming series to network dramas, Will Smith to Amy Schumer, the 73rd annual Golden Globe nominations unveiled a widespread field of nominations that attempted to corral a chaotic Oscar race and an ever-expanding television landscape.
Aussie apocalyptic blockbuster Mad Max: Fury Road, revenge thriller The Revenant and harrowing kidnap tale Room and Spotlight have also been nominated for the best motion picture drama award.
Michael Shannon snagged a nomination for the best performance by an actor in a supporting role in any motion picture.
Idris Elba earned a best supporting actor nomination for his searing turn as the leader of a group of child soldier rebels.
Irish-Canadian author Emma Donoghue was the only Canuck to pick up a nomination this year.
But the sheer number of Globe nominations didn’t necessarily establish hard-and-fast front-runners. The Martian, the hit film about an astronaut stranded on Mars, picked up three nods, but they were big ones: best comedy or musical, star Matt Damon and director Ridley Scott. Only Jon Hamm, in the dramatic actor category, was saluted.
It is the second Golden Globe nomination for the 21-year-old, who is now hotly tipped to receive an Oscar nomination when they are announced in January. Tied with four is the Aaron Sorkin-scripted “Steve Jobs”, though it failed to join the best picture nominees.
‘Joy”, “The Martian”, “Trainwreck”, “The Big Short” and “Spy’.
The best TV drama category has been blown wide open, with “Empire”, “Mr. Robot”, “Narcos”, and “Outlander” all receiving their first nominations.
Jeffrey Tambor of Transparent and Gael García Bernal of Mozart in the Jungle were nominated for Best Actor in a Comedy Series.
The nominees for best animated feature film: “Anomalisa, ” “Inside Out, ” “The Good Dinosaur, ” “The Peanuts Movie, ” and “Shaun the Sheep Movie”. Best drama went to Richard Linklater’s “Boyhood”, while Wes Anderson’s “Grand Budapest Hotel” captured the comedy category.

As always, though, the HFPA made some smart decisions in its nods for the 2016 event (Jan. 10, hosted by Ricky Gervais) and some totally ridiculous ones-and that’s not even including multiple mispronunciations from Dennis Quaid as he read off some of the nominees.
