Golden Globes Timeline: Nominations December 11, And How About Those Rules Changes?

Here’s the timeline for the 2015 Golden Globes, which includes nominations being announced December 11 and as already announced the awards show set itself set for Sunday, January 11 at the Beverly Hilton live on NBC. Amy Poehler and Tina Fey return as hosts for a third year in a row. More important than the dates though are noted tweaks to some Globes rules, including renaming the “mini-series” category as “limited series” and further defining the distinction between “series” and “limited series” — both have been hot-button issues at the fore of Emmys season for shows like HBO’s True Detective. Stay tuned on that one as we get more info.
