CELEBRITY REPORT
Dick Cheney biopic ‘Vice’ tops
Golden Globe nominations
Adam McKay’s Dick Cheney biopic
“Vice” staged an awards-season coup Thurs
day, landing a leading six nominations from
the 76th annual Golden Globe Awards to
narrowly edge more expected favorites
like Bradley Cooper’s tear-jerking revival
“A Star Is Born,” the interracial road-trip
drama “Green Book” and the period romp
“The Favourite.”
“Vice” topped all contenders in the nomi
nations that were announced at the Beverly
Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California,
including best picture, comedy and best
actor nominations for Christian Bale’s nearly
unrecognizable performance as the former
vice president. It also earned nominations for
Amy Adams’ Lynne Cheney, Sam Rockwell’s
George W. Bush and for the screenplay and
direction by McKay, the veteran comedy
filmmaker who once skewered politicians as
a “Saturday Night Live” writer.
For even the often-quirky selections of
the Hollywood Foreign Press Association,
a collection of 88 mostly lesser-known free
lance film journalists, the strong support
for “Vice” (which arrives in theaters on
Dec. 25) was a surprise. Even its categoriza
tion of the film — a highly critical portrait
of Cheney as a power-hungry, behind-the-
scenes tyrant — as a comedy raised some
eyebrows, as did Globes recent comedy
selections “Get Out” and “The Martian.”
“It’s a movie that’s a lot like the times we
live in. There’s part of it that’s absurdist and
comedic and then there’s another part of it
that’s darkly tragic and dramatic,” McKay
said Thursday by phone from London. “But
I do know I’m glad we’re in that category
because we will take ‘Mary Poppins’ out. I’m
not competitive with the other movies but I
am competitive with ‘Mary Poppins.’ Dick
Cheney is going for her.”
But it was far from a runaway win for
“Vice” since the press association typically
spreads its awards around. Oscar front
runners “A Star Is Born,” "Green Book” and
“The Favourite” trailed close behind with
five nominations each.
On the television side, awards were even
more widely dispersed among the likes
of the spy thriller “The Americans,” Bill
Hader’s hit-man comedy “Barry,” the Julia
Roberts-led conspiracy thriller “Homecom
ing,” Chuck Lorre’s acting coach series
“The Kominsky Method” and last year’s
champ, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” Lead
ing all small-screen nominees with four nods
was “The Assassination of Gianni Versace:
American Crime Story,” the FX anthology
series about the Italian fashion designer’s
murder.
For the first time, FX bested heavyweights
like HBO, Netflix and Amazon with a net-
work-best 10 nods, even though the exalted
second season of its “Atlanta” received only
a single nod for Donald Glover’s acting.
Curiously, the Hollywood Foreign Press
doesn’t consider foreign-language films for
best film, so Alfonso Cuaron’s acclaimed
family drama “Roma” was left out of the
Globes’ top category. “Roma,” which is
expected to earn Netflix its first best picture
nomination at the Oscars, was still nomi
nated for best screenplay, best director and
best foreign language film.

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
ARIES (March 21 -April 19).
There was a time when even
your very favorite people were
complete strangers to you.
Actually, this is such a time as
well. You’ll soon meet some
one who will be very important
to your future.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
What unfolds will confirm it
for you; there’s room in your
head for many different kinds
of ideas and affinities, beliefs
and preferences, systems and
skills. You can trust in all that’s
been established and still learn
more.
GEMINI (May 21-June21). You
know that you own a lot more
than you care to think about.
That’s why you need to, every
once in a while, physically lay
your hands on what you own.
It helps you remember and
keeps you from buying things
you don’t need.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
The best way to keep yourself
motivated is to choose a task
you know you can success
fully finish over the course of
this day. A win such as this will
keep you sailing far into next
week.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When
you’re around people who ap
preciate you and see you for
who you are, you don’t have
to actively seek reasons to
feel good about yourself. But
you’re not always around such
people. So do what you can to
support yourself.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Peace within brings peace
without. But how do you find
peace for something you’re not
OK with? It’s a little like recon
ciling the books. Look inside,
figure out what’s not adding
up, and do what you can to
make it work.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). There
are many factors to consider
before you embark on an en
deavor, but your age should
not be one of them. You will be
the same age whether you do it
or not. Take a risk.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
You’re a person who must walk
your talk. It’s one of the basic
rules you have for yourself. To
day, as you walk your talk, you
may wonder why you talked
so much! It’s tricky now, but
you’re better off for the ambi
tion.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Seek delight. Because if
you know how to move your
self from one state to a higher
one, you know how to lift oth
ers, too. And one of the best
things you can do for the world
today is raise the mood.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Dreams of hope aren’t just
for the exiled and obviously
oppressed. Everyone needs
the power of hope. But the
better off a person is, the more
specific that hope must be to
maintain a charge. So what’s
your hope?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Books can be wonderful
friends. They can be counted
on for constancy, are com
pletely nonjudgmental, and
usually bring forth a deeper and
brighter mindset than you’d run
across on a typical day.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Start a project. It doesn’t have
to be a big, important deal.
Anything halfway interesting to
you will do; it’s just something
to help you through a transi
tion, out of your head and onto
a new way of thinking about
life.
