Tis the season to go to the movies; the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced nominees for the 73rd Golden Globe Awards! Based on the lists, it seems to me, Carol is a must-see. Carol received five nominations, the most of any movie on the list, but The Big Short, The Revenant and Steve Jobs were right behind, with four nominations each. The Golden Globes will be presented on January 10, 2016, broadcast by NBC and hosted by Ricky Gervais.
