Award season is well underway with the nominations for 72nd Golden Globes having just been announced. It’s a rather interesting mix of good quality film-making with the refreshing inclusion of some unexpected films. THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL for example is up for an impressive four awards, including a Best Director nod for the wonderfully quirky Wes Anderson.
Leading the nominations though is Michael Keaton’s latest venture BIRDMAN, which received a massive seven nominations.
