The Golden Globe nominations as chosen by the Hollywood Foreign Press, were announced today and it looks like it will be a competitive year. The over 60s are doing well with nominations for Meryl Streep, Helen Mirren and our favourite, Downtown Abbey is up for a nomination as well. While the list itself isn’t too exciting, it is great because it gives you a list of the movies and TV series that should be on your “must watch” list.
