“American Hustle” and “12 Years a Slave” led this year’s Golden Globes nominations, announced today.

A few quick observations — the broader Globes “comedy” vs. “Drama” categories always allows greater inclusion. So you get both Bruce Dern AND Robert Redford nominations, Amy Adams gets an “American Hustle” bump, along with Oscar favorite Jennifer Lawrence.

But they’ve still helped narrow the field, as did the SAG announcement.

“The Butler” took a pretty good sized hit, this time around.  “Inside Llewyn Davis” still has hope.

“Saving Mr. Banks” was left out of the best picture mix. I see it an as Oscar best picture nominee. “Rush” won’t be.

“Philomena” is getting more Globes love than I figure Oscar will show it, though Dame Judi seems like a cinch.

Love Greta Gerwig, but “Frances Ha”? That’s a stretch. No way she makes the Oscar field.

“Tellingly, “Mandela” pulled in three big nominations. Ignored by SAG, boosted by the Hollywood Foreign Press. Shocking. It’s good enough to merit the attention.

Ditto “Wolf of Wall Street,” perhaps a long shot for best picture, but Leonardo DiCaprio, ignored by SAG, gets his Globes due. As he should.
