It also means that you have a little over a month to catch up on all the series, mini-series, films, and made for television movies that you missed over the past year.
If that sounds like a lot, that's because it is. Assuming you're not a member of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, I wouldn't recommend it.
Odds are you've already seen the nominated shows and films you actually want to sit down and watch or made plans to see them.
So, today I thought I'd celebrate the films and series that we all actually watch. The ones that in spite of their broad appeal actually managed to garner a nomination. True it's the Golden Globes and not the Oscars, but please let us have this moment.
First up, there's "Black Panther." Yes, that's right, a Marvel superhero film was nominated for Best Picture in Drama. Just take a moment to let that sink in while you relive some of the magic.
Next up is another Disney title. You probably haven't seen it yet seeing as it has a mid-December release date, but that didn't stop "Mary Poppins" returns from picking up a handful of nominations.
Finally, this summer's box office darling, "Crazy Rich Asians" picked up a Best Picture and an acting nod. Not too shabby for a "surprise" hit. The only surprise here is that the "powers that be" still have no clue what people actually want to watch.
