And The 2018 Golden Globe Nominees Are…

For a select group of people, awards season lasts all year long — it's an amorphous, slovenly beast, stretching out over months and months of festivals, reviews, and intense speculation. But for most of the world, awards season begins with the Golden Globes. Hosted by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the Golden Globes are important, for reasons most of us can't really deduce. The show is notable because it recognizes both movies and television. For movies, the ceremony can be a predictor for the SAG Awards winners later in January and the Oscars in March. For television, it's a second chance at being honored. (The Emmys, TV's version of the Oscars, occur in September.) And, for us, it's yet another chance to argue over which movies and tv shows won 2017.

This year, the movie race is tough. Last year, it was clear that La La Land and Moonlight were going to win the top awards. This year, it's not so clear. Get Out is expected to receive attention as a comedy — a decision that's been a source of controversy — as is James Franco's caper The Disaster Artist. Drama is just as tough; Call Me By Your Name is expected to be recognized alongside Lady Bird. And what about The Shape of Water? Or Spielberg's latest feature, The Post?

And that's not even TV! The race gets more heated when it comes to best television series. The streaming services go up against network favorites like This Is Us. Who will win? We find out January 7 on NBC.

Without further ado, the nominations for the 2018 Golden Globes.
