The Hollywood Foreign Press totally snubbed Martin Scorsese and masterpiece of a movie “Silence” this morning. I had heard they didn’t like it, but this kind really amazing since the HFPA is usually all over Scorsese like a cheap suit. But they just skipped over it in their nominations for Golden Globes.
There were some nice surprises including the return of “Sing Street” in the musical/comedy category. Also, “Lion” roared back, so the “60 Minutes” piece last night and this news should help it go wider this Friday.
A bad surprise: “Arrival” — other than Amy Adams — was totally ignored also. This great movie was kicked aside for Mel Gibson’s “Hacksaw Ridge.” The HFPA really wants to bring back Gibson, Public Enemy number 1 in Hollywood. And they did it, to the expense of a really great movie.
Warren Beatty’s “Rules Don’t Apply” was mostly overlooked as well except for actress Lily Collins. Other stars who are absent– Marion Cotillard and Brad Pitt from “Allied,” and that movie. Also nowhere to be seen– “Fantastic Beasts.” They also completely snubbed Clint Eastwood and Tom Hanks for “Sully.”
Keep refreshing….
