------------------------
Aside from that, there were still a lot of awards that the Golden Globes offered, such as Best Supporting Actor/Actress, Best Makeup, Best Costume Design, Best Film Editing, Best Animated Short, etc.
From the looks of it, The Revenant was nominated for four major awards. The film was also nominated for Best Film Editing and Best Costume Design. In total, the movie was nominated for six awards. Something to celebrate.
Getting nominations was an accomplishment in itself. Note that only a few select films could get nominations, and The Revenant was nominated in six categories.
The crew of The Revenant had a reason to celebrate this week... Yeah, another party to mingle with, something Kazir was uncomfortable with. Well, a party was a way for him to communicate with the other Academy members. CAA and Grey Pictures must have a lot of people to invite.
And yes, Nicole Kidman also received a nomination. The actress was happy, of course. Like I said, getting a nomination was already an accomplishment. To get one was already a hard thing to do.
Out of all the movies, Chicago got the most nominations with 13 nominations in different categories. By the way, this movie was produced by Miramax...
Gangs Of The New York came in second with 10 nominations. And yes, this movie was also produced by Miramax.
The Hours came in third with 9 nominations... surprise, surprise, this movie was also produced by Miramax.
Wow.
The Pianist received seven nominations. It was not produced by Miramax because the director of this movie was Roman Polanski and the guy was not allowed to set foot on the soil of the United States... Frankly, it was a mystery how he got nominated in the first place.
Frida was another movie produced by Miramax and it got 6 nominations. Obviously Miramax was doing some kind of quantitative shit to make sure they had a chance to win awards in different categories. Despicable.
Road to Perdition also got 6 nominations and was produced by DreamWorks Pictures.
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers also received 6 nominations and was produced by New Line Cinema.
The Revenant, produced by Grey Pictures and distributed by 20th Century Fox, also received 6 nominations.
Other films received 4 and 2 nominations.
Tonight was pretty satisfying for a lot of people. Although Harvey Weinstein was a little disappointed that The Hours wasn't nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay. Well, at least a lot of their movies have more nominations than The Revenant. Harvey Weinstein felt good knowing that.
As for Kazir, he was happy too. Having 6 nominations was an accomplishment. He didn't even care about the other movies that were nominated. He was just happy tonight.
After this brief celebration, Tom and Kazir parted ways. Kazir sensed that Penelope Cruz was uncomfortable because Nicole Kidman was nominated for Best Actress. They were both actresses, but Nicole Kidman had already been nominated in prestigious institutions like the Golden Globes.

December 19 just passed, and more people were interested in Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers than the nominations for the Golden Globes. They were only nominations anyway. That day (Thursday), The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers earned another $13.87 million.
On Friday(December 20), which usually has a strong box office, the movie made another $19.22 million.
On Saturday (December 21), another $22.75 million was added to the box office.
On Sunday (December 22), the film made $20.03 million.
Combined with the first day's $26.15 million, The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers has grossed $102.04 million. The movie had a midnight premiere on Tuesday, so the box office was huge.
A movie could have a premiere any day of the week. Most people just premiered their movies on Thursday at midnight to maximize their box office performance. Because Friday through Sunday had the highest number of moviegoers.
From the looks of it, the champion this year was Warner Brothers, since they technically own New Line Cinema... Second place might be taken by Grey Pictures/20th Century Fox.
Even though Grey Pictures only released three movies this year, they have already crossed the $1 billion mark.
