Amazon Studios’ Sundance pick-up The Big Sick was one of the biggest deals from last year’s festival, and it paid off big time as the most successful film out of last year’s fest. Others didn’t fare nearly as well.

The documentary nominees include veteran filmmakers such as Errol Morris, Steve James and Ken Burns, as well as newcomer Bryan Fogel (Icarus).
The full list of nominations for the American Society of Cinematographers includes a 15th nomination for Roger Deakins, and multiple nominations for HBO’s Game of Thrones and 12 Monkeys.

The 75th Annual Golden Globes are being announced live on NBC with host Seth Meyers. Winners will be updated as they’re announced.
Not to be outdone, indie studio A24 took home two trophies for Greta Gerwig’s Lady Bird, which lost two awards early on, but rallied when it mattered to win Best Picture – Comedy/Musical and Best Actress (Saoirse Ronan). Hulu and Amazon were the big winners on the TV side.
Jordan Peele’s Get Out, Steven Spielberg’s The Post, Call Me By Your Name and Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk were noticeably absent from winning a single category.

Gerwig also received recognition for her direction of Lady Bird and its screenplay, while Laurie Metcalf received more acclaim for her supporting role in the film.
Michael Showalter’s The Big Sick, produced by Judd Apatow, and Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman are two notable inclusions among the film nominees.
Don’t go betting the farm on our crystal ball, for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association can be an unpredictable bunch, as that hilarious comedy The Martian can attest.
As expected, Jordan Peele’s screenplay for Get Out and Greta Gerwig’s Lady Bird screenplay received nominations, but so did the adapted screenplay for Logan.
