“The Big Short” is coming out on December 23. Chances are that the Globe will go to the more widely accessible Spotlight or Carol, but the director prize is very much a toss-up between Miller, Carol’s Todd Haynes, and Spotlight’s Tom McCarthy.
Mark Ruffalo seemed a little surprised about his nomination for Best Actor for his role in Infinitely Polar Bear. Under-the-radar shows such as ballet drama “Flesh and Bone”, time-traveling drama “Outlander” and cable-news comedy “Blunt Talk” all picked up nominations, sending curious viewers to Google immediately. The Weinstein Company had been promoting Mara in the supporting actress category, even though she won the best actress award in Cannes for the same role.

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!”
The Best Television Series – Musical or Drama category has “Casual Hulu”, “Mozart In The Jungle”, “Orange Is The New Black”, “Silicon Valley”, “Transparent” and “Veep” in neck-to-neck competition, while the Best Television Series – Drama will see shows like “Empire“, “Game of Thrones”, “Mr. Robot”, “Narcos” and “Outlander” battling it out.
“Carol” is up for greatest drama towards Pioneer-period film “The Revenant”, psychological thriller “Room”, Catholic Church abuse probe “Spotlight” and thriller “Mad Max: Fury Road”, a shock contender in the class, which not often sees a blockbuster motion nominee. “The Blunderer” was also filmed in Cincinnati past year.
Overall, Netflix dominated the TV network list with eight nominations, surpassing HBO and Starz, thanks to series “Narcos” and “Orange is the New Black”.
