Nominations for the 74th Golden Globes awards ceremony has been announced and while some movies expectedly made the nominations, others, disappointingly didn’t. Some of those who many were expecting to make the list but didn’t were, Golden Globes winner, Taraji P. Henson’s role in the movie,  ‘Hidden Figures’, Regina King’s role in the movie, ‘American Crime’, Mike Colter’s role in the movie, ‘Luke Cage’ etc. All three are not surprisingly, African Americans. Rapper and actor, 50 Cents also felt he was shortchanged when the ‘Power” series, which he is an executive producer of, failed to get a nomination, being the signature show and the highest rated show for Starz network. Talk show host and veteran host of many Golden Globes awards, Jimmy Fallon will be the host of the ceremony which airs on January 8th, 2017.
