For shattering gender and age barriers, all with finesse and grace, the HFPA is humbled to bestow this honor upon her."

I'm not surprised. The reviews were great. The box office was insane. And the Globes have the advantage of comedy categories for movies and performances.
There's no chance though that we'll see Deadpool(or Cap 3 for that matter) in the Best Picture category at the Oscars. It would be nice if they'd for once nominate one of these flicks that gross a ton of money and are critically acclaimed, but I have a feeling we'll see them all get overlooked yet again.

It would take an absolutely perfect CBM film to get nominated in the Best Picture or Best Director category at the Oscars and we haven't gotten one yet. Deadpool is definitely a shining example of what the genre can offer though so never say never.

I don't know what a perfect comic book movie looks like. The Dark Knight apparently wasn't enough, although at least that was back when there were only 5 Best Picture nominees.
I hate the fact that Sing has a nomination, let alone 2. I saw the film for free and I still want a refund. I feel sorry for the animators who had to create those twerking bunnies.
I haven't seen enough nominees yet to really weigh in but there's a good mix of expected names and surprises.
The only snub that really bothers me is Eye in the Sky. But I guess it came out too early in the year to be remembered at awards time. That and maybe the content is scaring off people(although the movie was apolitical).
Serious question: Do people (in the industry or otherwise) actually care about any awards besides the Oscars? I mean, while Oscar trivia is a fun thing to discuss decades later, does anyone know or care offhand the recipient of ANY Golden Globe (or any other award, for that matter)?
That being said, I'll bite.
Decent list of nominees (from what I've seen). The continued separation of genres for some categories is preposterous, especially given that it's not even a case of "separate but equal." Good to see Gibson there. Also glad Elle made the list of foreign film.
For the shows, they did not great. The nominees should be The Affair, The Americans, Better Call Saul, Mr. Robot and Bloodline. The fact that they went 0/5 on that is disconcerting. otoh they got a lot of the actors in those nominated so that's good.
On the other hand, they had EXCELLENT picks in the miniseries category.
No 'The Red Turtle', 'The Little Prince' or maybe even 'Finding Dory' ... But did make it : 'Sing'. I have no words for this.
I've seen an average of about 0.1 animated film per year so I'm not the best commenter, I admit. However, I think you are right. I have seen trailers for Sing as well as advertisements that use the characters, and it literally looks like the most annoying film and worst of all time.
I wouldn't worry though; no doubt Disney's got this locked up.
