Is the Golden Globes reclamation project actually working?
For the second year in a row, the embattled awards show and its hundreds of new voters got through nominations morning without the kind of embarrassments that used to be de rigueur in these parts. Its slate of nominees went largely as expected and was largely sensible, no doubt aided by the fact that all of its categories remained super-sized after being bumped up from five to six nominees last year.
And that makes it easier for the industry to shrug off the scandals that caused a wholesale reorganization of the awards show three years ago and took it off the air for one year.
