Today’s Golden Globes announcement, from the mysterious 93-member Hollywood Foreign Press Association, seems to have steered the Oscar ship back onto a more conventional course – but that’s not to say there wasn’t the odd surprise or two. Bryan Cranston found himself nominated for Trumbo (a drama, not a comedy, people), Rooney Mara continued her Best Actress campaign for Carol and Alicia Vikander was recognised for her work in both The Danish Girl and Ex Machina - a great week for Alex Garland's film after reigning triumphant at Sunday night's BIFAs. Lily Tomlin, in her 76th year, also picked up two nominations, for Grandma and Grace & Frankie.
