Funny Ha Ha vs. Funny HFPA
The Martian seems poised to follow in the footsteps of "comedies" like Her and The Tourist.
On the entertainment plus side, if 20th Century Fox goes ahead and submits The Martian to the “Comedy or Musical” category for the Golden Globes, returning host Ricky Gervais will be set for several sure-fire one-liners. The deadline for Hollywood studios to send in 2015 year entries is tomorrow.
On the minus side, until the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) changes the name of this second bracket (Non-Drama? Other?) or amalgamates somehow, the “Best Film – Comedy or Musical” category will continue to run the risk of being a joke.
