There’s only one month to go until awards season is in full swing, and Amy Poehler and Tina Fey will kick things off by hosting the Golden Globes at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
The nominees were announced by Olivia Wilde, Zoe Saldana, and Aziz Ansari early on Thursday morning and, as usual, there was a small side dish of controversy.
The fact that neither ‘Homeland’ nor ‘Mad Men’ were included has got a lot of people fluffed up, but it seems that most of them feel hurt by Oprah Winfrey’s exclusion from the list after her startling performance as Forest Whitaker’s boozy wife in ‘The Butler’.
The 71st Golden Globes will be broadcast live from Beverly Hills on the January 12.
