There’s really nothing here to be upset about. 12 Years a Slave and American Hustle have 7 nominations each, the nominations are pretty well spread out among the best films and performances of the year. I know that’s kind of the point but the Golden Globes are a bit of a wild card, that doesn’t actually always happen with them.
The 71st Golden Globes will be broadcast on 12 January 2014.
