So what impact do these first major award nods for  the new year mean? Since these nominations, and awards, are largely made up by the folks who are most likely  represented in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, chances are they’ll feel the same way when it comes to voting for the Oscars. The same peers are also  part of the  Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, which determines the Emmy nominees. So they are a good indication of how Hollywood is feeling, and who they are championing, when it comes to giving out the highest acting honours of the season.
