With separate categories for Drama and Comedy/Musical it's always hard to interpret the Golden Globes impact on the Oscar Race. But it does help solidify the front runners. And we have the usual suspects of Spotlight, Room, and Carol. As well as The Martian making an appearance as a comedy?
Mad Max: Fury Road got nominated for Best Picture and Director and while I have been reluctant to think it will actually score an Oscar Best Picture nomination it's looking pretty good right now.
The movie that got the biggest boost was the Revenant. While it was always expected to do well during award season it hasn't had a great showing so far. But with a Best Drama, Best Director, and Best Actor nomination it puts it back in the top 10. On the other hand The Hateful Eight only got 2 nominations and failed to really get any kind of boost. Joy and The Big Short are two that have been hard to determine where they will end up and even though they got a Best Comedy Nomination hard to tell if it's enough to boost it to the Oscars.
Take a look at the full nominations below. Let us know what you think.
