It’s almost award season so that means nominations. The SAG award nominations were announced yesterday and the Golden Globe nominations were announced today. I have including the applicable nominations for each below. I’ve also added links to my reviews as well as predictions. Unfortunately I have not seen all the films that have been nominated for either so if I see any of those films before each award show, I will update my predictions if I find something more worthy. I will also highlight the winners after each as well.
