The 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards
It’s that time of year when Hollywood is in full party swing celebrating awards season. To get things started the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards nominees - the second most glamorous awards show next to the Oscars - were announced and are leaving me a bit perplexed. It seems that the same five movies are in each of the big categories. It’s also obvious that when you put Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Ryan Gosling, Leonardo DiCaprio and Michael Fassbender in one category, you’re guaranteed they’ll show up and dazzle on the red carpet.
