The Golden Globes snubbed Tina Fey and Amy Poelher’s “Sisters” even though the pair have hosted their show the last few years. They also snubbed Johnny Depp and Quentin Tarantino. “The Hateful Eight” scored a screenplay nod and one for best supporting actress for Jennifer Jason Leigh, but not Best Picture, Director or any of the male actors. That’s a disappointment.

20th Century Fox was the big winner. All three of their Oscar films– The Martian, Joy, and The Revenant scored Best Picture nominations. Stacey Snider is running that place, and it shows. She’s really brilliant.

The HFPA didn’t have much use for Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies or F Gary Gray’s Straight outta Compton. They didn’t really like Brooklyn either.

Drama nominations: Carol, Mad Max, Revenant, Room and Spotlight.
