The Golden Globe Awards

Seth Meyers should prove a great host for the 75th annual Golden Globes, which kicks off awards season in earnest. The Late Night host has had incisive commentary on his talk show in recent months, and he did a great job at the 2014 Emmys. Director Guillermo del Toro's The Shape of Water leads the nominations with seven, closely followed by The Post and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. On the TV side, HBO's Big Little Lies, a favorite at the Emmys, leads with six nominations, including best actress nods for Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon.
