These were announced at the end of November and Thanksgiving kept me from reporting on them. With all the others announcing this week, it was time to get these put in place, not that they matter much. This organization has been facing controversy after controversy that makes what the Globes went through look like a wardrobe malfunction. Of course they are mimicking the Critics Choice Association, even going so far as to list 6 nominees in most categories, to cover their bases. Ultimately, it’s an expected list that has few minor surprises but nothing we couldn’t have seen as a possibility months ago. We’ll see if the CCA is any better when it announces later this month.
