While Kerry Washington and 12 Years A Slave stars copped nominations, The Butler was totally shut out.
After getting a SAG nod in a similar category yesterday, Kerry was nominated for Best Actress in a TV Drama for the Globes. And her competition includes Taylor Schilling of "Orange is the New Black."
12 Years A Slave has been nominated for Best Motion Picture Drama and six other nods (tied for the most with American Hustle). Steve McQueen nabbed a Best Director nod. And its stars Chiwetel Ejiofor and Lupita Nyong'o were nominated for their roles in the respective categories of Best Performance By An Actor In A Motion Picture-Drama and Best Performance By An Actress In A Supporting Role in a Motion Picture.
Chiwetel's competition for that category includes Idris Elba for his role in Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom. That category rounds out with stuff competition from Tom Hanks, Matt McConaughey, and Robert Redford.
Chiwetel & Idris also face each other in a second category--Best Performance By An Actor In A Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made For TV. Chiwetel for "Dancing On the Edge" and Idris for "Luther".
