2017 Golden Globe Nominees Announced

Awards Season is finally upon us and the full list of nominees for the 2017 Golden Globes has been revealed. 

Leading this year’s nominees is the musical La La Land – which isn’t out in the UK until January 13 next year- with 7 nominations including, Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy.

La La Land director Damien Chazelle, dominated the awards season back in 2014 with Whiplash and looks set to do so again with several critics tipping it for Oscar success.

Chazelle can’t afford to get complacent though with both the coming-of-age drama Moonlight and Manchester By The Sea right behind him with six and five nominations apiece.

Surprising everyone is this year’s sleeper hit Deadpool, which has earned rare praise for a superhero film, with two nominations for Best Musical/Comedy and Best Actor. Ryan Reynolds must be proud!

Tom Percival

More of a concept than a journalist, Tom Percival was forged in the bowels of Salford University from which he emerged grasping a Masters in journalism.

Since then his rise has been described by himself as ‘meteoric’ rising to the esteemed rank of Social Editor at UNILAD as well as working at the BBC, Manchester Evening News, and ITV.

He credits his success to three core techniques, name repetition, personality mirroring, and never breaking off a handshake.
