It’s January, and that means it’s award show season! The People’s Choice, Golden Globes, and Screen Actors Guild Awards inaugurated the series of star-studded events. This year, however, there has been little variation among nominees and winners in all categories. Actors like Sandra Bullock, Jeff Bridges, Michael C. Hall, Mo’Nique, Christoph Waltz, Julianna Margulies, Drew Barrymore, Kevin Bacon and Alec Baldwin won both the Golden Globe and SAG award in their categories, as well as the cast of Glee and Mad Men. The shows basically parallel each other with few exceptions (mainly because the Globes awarded more categories- director, screenplay, etc.)
Bullock also received a People’s Choice for her work in The Blind Side, while Inglorious Basterds and Glee won best movie and TV comedy for the People’s Choice and the SAGs, respectively. While the winners are all deserving of these awards, the other talented nominees deserve some recognition. Otherwise, why have so many awards shows if they do not offer a diverse list of honorees?
But we can be sure that the Grammy’s (January 31st) will offer new nominees, and optimistically, I look forward to the Academy Awards (March 7th) for a little variation.
