**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER Story By: G. H. HARDING **** Tom Hanks WERE YOU NOMINATED? --- The Academy Awards appear to be the three-horse race many expected it would be, with Gravity, American Hustle and 12 Years a Slave all receiving the lion's share of the nominations. The nominations for the 86th Academy Awards, announced Thursday morning in Beverly Hills, Calif., were led by the 3-D space odyssey Gravity and the con-artist caper American Hustle, both with 10 nominations. The historical epic 12 Years a Slave trailed closely with nine nominations. All were among the nine films nominated for best picture. The other nominees are Captain Phillips, Dallas Buyers Club, Her, Nebraska, The Wolf of Wall Street and Philomena – a big surprise! Another big surprise was the omission of Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine; a film I felt was tremendous and among his best ever. The most notable omission by the academy was Tom Hanks, whose lead performanc...

**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER Story By: G. H. HARDING ****  Tina Fey A GLOBES NIGHT --- The 71st Golden Globes aired last night, hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler (second year running) and it was a definitive sign the awards season in Hollywood is off and running. Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Lawrence, Andy Samberg, Bryan Cranston, Amy Adams, Leo DiCaprio, U2, Michael Douglas, Jared Leto, Jon Voight, and Poehler herself were among the night’s big winners. Director Alfonso Cuaron, who put together the multi-layered movie Gravity was a surprise winner for director. I must admit, that movie was a revelation on almost every level and it was certainly the wildcard film of the year. 12 Years A Slave won as best dramatic film and American Hustle won as best comedy. NetFlix's House Of Cards was oddly ignored, though newly-engaged Robin Wright (to actor Ben Foster) did win as best actress. Certainly deserved for sure. The ceremony held at the Bever...
