by Look. We all get caught up in awards season, no matter how relevant or ridiculous the award or the process by which they award them.
With that in mind, your annual reminder that the Golden Globes have become an annual ritual, and it’s all controlled by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, critics and junket journalists alike who share one common trait: They’re not from America. Over the years, their tendencies have favored both newcomers and A-list celebrities. They enjoy celebrating people who haven’t been celebrated elsewhere, as well as nominating the super-famous so they will show up at the party, which is an actual party, broadcast live on NBC each January. They also celebrate TV shows as well as movies, and they separate both categories into drama, and comedy (plus musicals), which usually means more for musicals than it does for comedy.
So, with all of that now in mind, here are your comedy (and musical) nominees for the 74th annual Golden Globes, to be announced Jan. 8, 2017, live on NBC, and hosted by Jimmy Fallon.
