Preview

The Academy Awards, also known as The Oscars, may get plenty of attention in Hollywood each year. But the Golden Globes are important film and television awards, too. Many show business insiders say the Golden Globes can sometimes predict which movies will be recognized at the Academy Awards.

That explains why lots of people were paying attention to the Golden Globes nomination list when it came out on Thursday. There were over 100,000 tweets about the Golden Globes in the first few hours. The awards ceremony will take place on January 10, 2016. That gives voters and movie lovers exactly one month to catch up on all the films and TV shows they may have missed in 2015. The movies with the most nominations this year were “Carol” and “The Big Short.” The first film is based on a 1950s book called “The Price of Salt,” written by Patricia Highsmith. Highsmith was mostly known for mystery novels and thrillers. She wrote “The Price of Salt” under a pseudonym a make believe name authors sometimes use to keep their real identity secret. In this case, Highsmith used experiences from her own life to write about a lesbian romance.

The other film, “The Big Short,” is based on a book about the banking industry by Michael Lewis. Two of his earlier books, “Moneyball” and “The Blind Side,” were made into successful films. As for television, shows like “Veep,” “Mad Men,” “Empire” and “Mr. Robot” all received Golden Globe nominations.
