Since I watch A LOT of television, I think I might prefer the Globes to the Oscars. The TV factor AND the fact that most people are drunk, the show doesn’t take itself too seriously and the host is usually NUTSO. (I’m talking to you, Ricky Gervais!)

Of the nominations, here are my favorites in BOLD: (And if have no opinion, I’ll leave it alone. )

Also, I need to UP my movie game! I haven’t seen many at all! – LBF

Jude Law, The Young Pope

Kyle MacLachlan, Twin Peaks

Ewan McGregor, Fargo

Geoffrey Rush, Genius

 

Best TV Movie or Limited-Series

Big Little Lies (HBO) This has to get it. It’s well-acted, is perfectly paced and it’s all about women gaining back their power. Totally 2017.

Fargo (FX)

Feud: Bette and Joan (FX) (This is my runner-up. Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange simply were perfect in these roles as Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. A master class in acting.)
