Golden Globes noms are out, but I'm not going to post them, as I think the Golden Globes are an absolute joke of an organization and their awards are BS

Good to see Bring Her Back getting international awards recognition. But I can't see the Philippou brothers remaining independent - it would be nice if Sony picked them up.
