Carol, Brian Wilson Lead 2016 Golden Globe Nominations

Carol, Todd Haynes period romance, and the online streaming services Netflix and Amazon dominated the nominations for the 73rd annual Golden Globe Awards, announced this morning.

Competing against Carol for Best Drama will be George Millers post-apocalyptic action extravaganza Mad Max: Fury Road, The Revenant, Room, and Spotlight. The movie also secured two of its five nominations in one category, as co-starsCate Blanchett and Rooney Mara both made the cut for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture Drama. Haynes leading ladies will be in competition withBrie Larson (Room), Saoirse Ronan (Brooklyn), and Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl).

On the other side of the aisle in Best Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, the all-star financial-crisis satireThe Big Short will be stacked against Joy, The Martian, and the female-lead summer comedies Spy and Trainwreck.

Comedies held a number of surprises in store for Hollywood this morning, as Melissa McCarthy and Amy Schumer whose names had both been absent from most awards chatter were nominated for Best Actress (for Spy and Trainwreck, respectively). On the male side, Mark Ruffalo was rewarded for his ballyhooed performance in Spotlight with a nomination for his turn in last springs mental-illness indie, Infinitely Polar Bear.

Perhaps the strangest fact about this years nominations could be found in the Best Supporting Actor category, in which all five contenders (Paul Dano, Idris Elba, Mark Rylance, Michael Shannon, Sylvester Stallone) were recognized for films that werent nominated for Best Picture.

Two different Pixar films will be vying for Best Animated Film, as both Inside Out and The Good Dinosaur landed nominations. Theyll be up against The Peanuts Movie and stop-motion movies both large (Shaun the Sheep Movie) and small (Anomalisa). AndBrian Wilsons One Kind of Love, cowritten by the former Beach Boys frontman and Scott Bennett for Wilsons biopic Love & Mercy, scored a Best Song nomination. (Danos aforementioned Best Supporting Actor nomination comesfrom playing the songwriter during the Pet Sounds/Smile era.)

As for the television awards, it was a breakthrough year for streaming services, who proved that they are more than capable of competing with the major networks. Netflix lead all networks with eight nominations, besting even HBO, who were close behind with seven.

Four of the six shows nominated for Best Television Series Musical or Comedy belonged to Hulu (Casual), Netflix (Orange Is the New Black), or Amazon Video (Mozart in the Jungle, Transparent), while the remaining two contenders were both from HBO (Silicon Valley and Veep). Attention was a bit more evenly spread when it came to dramas, where Netflix earned a nod for their drug opus Narcos, the pay channels cashed in with Outlander and Game of Thrones, and the category was filled out with basic cable offering Mr. Robot and Foxs smash hitEmpire.

The emphasis on streaming shows didnt quite carry over into the acting categories, but Transparent stars Jeffrey Tambor and Judith Light still lead the way in fields that were otherwise dominated by Golden Globe veterans like Jon Hamm, who earned the only nomination for the final season of Mad Men.

Denzel Washington will receive the Cecil B. DeMille Award.
