Big Little Lies Scores Six Sexy Golden Globe Nominations

BIG 

congrats to HBO’s Big Little Lies 

for scoring six Golden Globe nominations.

Best Television Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television

Big Little Lies competes against Fargo, Feud: Bette and Joan, The Sinner and Top of the Lake: China Girl.

Reese Witherspoon

Nicole Kidman

Also nominated in the category Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon for another show we liked a lot. Feud: Bette and Joan and Jessica Biel for The Sinner. But let’s be real. We LOVE these two women. We want Nicole & Reese to tie and walk off stage together holding their Golden Globes high.

 Laura Dern

Shailene Woodley

Because the supporting actor and actress category isn’t limited to series or limited series Shailene Woodley and Laura Dern are competing against not only each other, but Ann Dowd in the brilliant The Handmaid’s Tale, Michelle Pfeiffer in The Wizard of Lies and also Chrissy Metz in the hugely popular This Is Us. I love them all —they’re all winners—but I’d bet on Metz or maybe Pfeiffer because of her movie star status. And for those who think Zoe Kravitz should have been in the mix consider the fact that while her performance was super strong, she never had the amount of screen time the key quartet had. And unlike Alexander Skarsgard, she made it out alive. At least she gets to come back, not just in flashbacks either.

Alexander Skarsgard

I wouldn’t hazard a guess as to the winner beyond more recent popular favorite David Harbour for Stranger Things in a sprawling category that includes Alfred Molina for Feud: Bette and Joan, Christian Slater for Mr. Robot and David Thewlis for Fargo.

For those of us thrilled with this week’s news that Big Little Lies is coming back with a second season after all, this is just a little icing on the big celebratory cake. No lie.
