This has to be one of the most open awards seasons in years.
The morning of the Golden Globe nominations is upon us and there is no front
runner. If only the Republican field for President was this strong.
However, amongst the numerous winners in the critics’ awards
and nominees in the early guild awards, one film is strangely absent. Tinker
Tailor Soldier Spy has just started a limited awards season release in
the US, where it garnered the best per-theatre average of the weekend.
Unfortunately, it was only on four screens. It has received
reviews of a similar high standard as it did in the UK, but it has only
picked up a handful of critics nods, and, yesterday, Gary Oldman was omitted
(shamefully, I might add) from the Best Actor shortlist for the Screen Actors’ Guild Awards
(SAGs).
