The 2015 Golden Globes Nominees

Comments

Tina and Amy
A new year is now underway and it’s time again for show-business and its myriad hangers-on to begin honoring themselves.

While it’s an open secret that no one’s 100% clear on who entirely makes up the membership of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, what their credentials actually are, or how precisely their awards show came to be such a big deal, it is now simply an accepted fact that annually the enigmatic HFPA throws a big party to give out their so-called Golden Globes, and the most gigantic celebrities of the big and small screens — rarely the sorts to refuse accolades, no matter how dubious — show up to collect them.

Back in December, at an event in Los Angeles, the nominees for this year’s awards were announced, and we’re sharing those names with you below.

January 11 will be the big event, aired on NBC, and it’s to be hosted again by the always excellent Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
