Can you smell the trophy polish in the air? The prestige movies have been rolling out for a month now, but Award Season is now in full swing with today’s announcement of the 2016 Golden Globe nominees. (The announcement is like a groundhog sticking its head out of the loamy soil to let us know there will be six more weeks of awards.
The main differences between the Golden Globes and the more reputable Oscars is that the Golden Globe Award show serves alcohol to celebrities on live TV. The other major difference, though, is that the awards are divided between movies and television, making for a mermaid-like Oscar/Emmy hybrid. The Globe nominations—and subsequent wins—are often seen as indicators of which way the wind will be blowing come Oscar time. While it’s never 100% accurate, it’s always at least somewhat precise.
Among this year’s crop of nominees—which includes a generous helping of non-televised output from Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu—are a number of folks Co.Create and Fast Company have had the pleasure of interviewing. The 73rd annual Golden Globes will air Sunday, January 10th, with fourth-time host and atheist of note, Ricky Gervais, but until then have a look below at the nominees, and read through our interviews with nominees such as Rachel Bloom, Bob Odenkirk, Uzo Aduba, and more.
