The 2015 Golden Globes nominations are in. Many hold this to be the first indicator for Oscar, but in truth the Screen Actors Guild award nominations, which were yesterday, have more credence.
Birdman leads the nominations with seven, with Boyhood and The Imitation Game getting five nominations each, Gone Girl and The Grand Budapest Hotel got four, with Selma and Foxcatcher each getting three.
The Globes are bestowed by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, an organisation of about ninety members from approximately fifty-five countries, who work in Hollywood as agents of international publications.
The 2015 Golden Globes awards ceremony will air on Sunday, January 11, 2015 at 1 a.m. GMT.
