'Vice' Leads the Golden Globe Nominations

In a bit of a surprise, Adam McKay’s Vice led the Globe nominations this morning with 6 nods, and this is before reviews come in, with early word that the movie is quite divisive. Well, since the HFPA got in here early with their love for it, that kinda gives it a huge boost in the Oscar race, as the industry awards are set to weigh in soon. Elsewhere, the love was split, with A Star is Born, Green Book, BlackKkKlansman (yay!) and The Favourite all making strong showings, along with Roma. Here’s something I don’t understand though- why are Bohemian Rhapsody and A Star is Born in Drama and not Musical/Comedy? Is the latter category now reserved for only comedies, so if the musicals are dramatic, they no longer qualify?
