Golden Globe Nominations

The nominations for the 2013 Golden Globes have been announced! As expected Spielberg´s Lincoln has the most nominations with 7, while Argo got 5. For the most the nominations are as expected, though I am a bit surprised at Django Unchained getting 5 nominations, making it one of the frontrunners, though I don’t expect to have a shot of winning, then again I haven’t seen it yet. Also noteworthy, The Master did not receive anything but acting awards, despite being considered somewhat of a frontrunner.  Other then a surprising number of nominations for Tarantino´s latest, there aren’t a lot of surprises in either the film or TV categories. Comment your thoughts below as we wait in excitement for the winners to be announced on January 13^th 2013.
