Golden Globe Nominations: 12 Years A Slave, American Hustle Film Nods, House Of Cards Leads TV Series
It's time to countdown to Tina Fey and Amy Poehler's second Hollywood smackdown—the Golden Globe Awards are on January 12 and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association just announced the film and TV nominees. And some frontrunners won a lot of nods, while others—like Lee Daniels' The Butler—were shut out.
The full list is below, but here's the rundown: 12 Years a Slave and American Hustle both got seven nominations. 12 Years was nominated for Best Picture, Drama, as were Captain Phillips, Gravity, Philomena and Rush, while American Hustle was nominated for Best Picture, Comedy, along with Her, Inside Lleywn Davis, Nebraska and The Wolf Of Wall Street. Some other notable nominations: Idris Elba for best actor, drama, for Mandela; Julia Louis-Dreyfus for best actress, comedy, for Enough Said; Barkhad Abdi for best supporting actor in Captain Phillips; and Daniel Bruhl for best supporting actor in Rush. The Butler was shut out, as was The Great Gatsby. Rush was a surprising addition to the nominations.
House of Cards got four nominations, including Best TV Series, Drama, while Behind the Candelabra also got four nominations as a TV movie. Notable TV nominations include Brooklyn Nine Nine for Best Comedy Series and Best Actor (Andy Samberg); breakout Tatiana Maslany for Best Actress, TV Drama for Orphan Black; Masters of Sex for Best Drama Series and Best Actor (Michael Sheen); and Monica Potter for Best Supporting Actress for Parenthood (her first Golden Globe nomination!). And Idris Elba also earned a nomination in the TV category for Best Actor in a Mini-Series or TV Movie for Luther. Snubs: Nothing for Mad Men, Game of Thrones, or Homeland! One of the most surprising snubs was Peter Dinklage being left out of best drama actor for Game of Thrones.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
