Zellweger, Pitt and ... 'Cats'? Here Come the Golden Globes

Associated Press

   NEW YORK - Renee Zellweger, Brad Pitt and Eddie Murphy are locks. But
   whether "Cats" has it in the bag, too, we won't know until the 77th
   annual Golden Globes are announced Monday morning.

   The Hollywood Foreign Press Association will unveil their nominations
   in Los Angeles beginning at 8:04 a.m. EST. They will be live-streamed
   on the Golden Globes' Facebook page and their website, with the second
   wave of nominees carried live on NBC's "Today" show at 8:15 a.m. Dakota
   Fanning, Susan Kelechi Watson and Tim Allen will announce the
   nominations from the Beverly Hilton hotel.

   The Globes separate their top categories between drama and
   comedy/musical, giving some movies well outside the awards conversation
   an opportunity.

   While movies like Martin Scorsese's "The Irishman," Quentin Tarantino's
   "Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood" and Noah Baumbach's "Marriage
   Story" are widely expected to come away with numerous nods, few would
   be surprised if the press association -- a group known for its
   sometimes quirky picks, its penchant for A-listers and its fondness for
   musicals -- also included the upcoming, much-memed big-screen
   adaptation of "Cats." The HFPA, a group with 87 voting members, was
   shown an unfinished cut of Tom Hooper's film.
