‘Get Out’ and ‘The Shape of Water’ Scare Up Golden Globes Nominations
Horror continues to get mainstream recognition during its standout year.
We recently reported that Jordan Peele’s Get Out was being *considered* for Golden Globes nominations, an exciting bit of news that made headlines due to the fact that it was up for contention in the “Comedy/Musical” category. A strange, ill-fitting genre for the film, to say the least, but all that really matters was that it was being considered.
Today we’re happy to report, now that the 2018 Golden Globes nominees have been officially announced, that Get Out indeed has been nominated for Best Comedy/Musical! Star Daniel Kaluuya was also nominated for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture: Comedy or Musical.
Additionally, Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water landed a nomination for Best Motion Picture: Drama, while also receiving a handful of other nominations…
- Best Director – Guillermo del Toro
- Best Performance by an Actress – Sally Hawkins
- Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role – Octavia Spencer
- Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role – Richard Jenkins
- Best Screenplay – Guillermo del Toro & Vanessa Taylor
- Best Original Score – Alexandre Desplat
Also of note, “Stranger Things” was nominated for Best Television Series: Drama, while star David Harbour was nominated for Best Supporting Role in a TV Series.
Finally, Kyle MacLachlan has received a nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for TV, for his work on “Twin Peaks”!
In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
