 Now that the Golden Globe nominations have been released, we can start to get a good idea of which films will be landing nominations for the Academy Awards when they are announced next month. I am only including the film categories for the Golden Globes as there are no television categories at the Oscars. It is also worth noting is many of the categories at the Globes are split between drama and musical/comedy films. In most cases the Oscar nominations will be likely five selections from between those lists, with the exception being Best Picture which can have up to ten nominations at the Oscars. Where possible, I have included links to streaming services to watch the films along with trailer links in the titles. Best PictureBest Actress

 I have to say the best film releasing this weekend is likely one you've seen before. Peter Jackson's 2001 blockbuster The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring lands in a limited IMAX re-release this weekend so now is your chance to see it on the big screen if it's been a while. Unfortunately, there are no major wide releases this weekend, yet there is plenty of star power hitting theaters and virtual releases including names like Viggo Mortensen (Green Book, The Lord of the Rings), Sam Neill (Jurassic Park, Event Horizon), Johnny Depp (Pirates of the Caribbean, Sleepy Hollow), and Kate Hudson (Almost Famous, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days).
