Golden Globe Music Nominations: Songs Race Powered by Black-Themed Films, Steaming Services

Golden Globe Music Nominations: Songs Race Powered by Black Films, Streaming Services Jon Burlingame, provided by FacebookTwitterEmail The awards season for musical achievement became a little clearer this morning with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s Golden Globe announcements for song and score. Films about major African-American personalities dominated the song category, with new tunes from “One Night in Miami,” “Judas and the Black Messiah” and “The United States vs. Billie Holiday” accounting for three of the five slots. And, intriguingly, four of the five song nominees are from streaming services, not traditional studios. More from Variety Also, following Globes tradition, major stars as both performers and writers were named (H.E.R., Leslie Odom Jr., Andra Day). Odom and Day each managed to score double nominations, as both were also nominated for their acting performances in those films — Odom as crooner Sam Cooke in “One Night in Miami,” Day as blues singer Holiday in “The United States vs. Billie Holiday.”

It’s no secret that reality TV can be ridiculously addicting. But there’s one show people can’t get enough of and it doesn’t have any bachelors or real housewives — we’re talking “Shark Tank .” Since its premiere in 2009, viewers can’t stop watching wannabe entrepreneurs pitch their products to the “Sharks” like Lori Greiner and Kevin O’Leary. Over 200 episodes in, we think we’ve seen it all, until something else comes along to blow your mind, whether that’s in a good way or a bad way. Though there have been plenty of duds, over the course of a decade there have been plenty of mind-blowingly genius “Shark Tank” products, too. To prove it, we’ve rounded up the best “Shark Tank” products that are worth investing in.
