Summary: Not even two weeks into 2015 and the annual slog known as awards season has commenced in earnest. This year’s festivities were kicked off by the Golden Globe Awards over the weekend which pull double duty by honoring the best of both movies and television. We wonder if it might make more sense to hold two different ceremonies throughout the year; one for movies and one for television.<br> The BAFTA nominations were also announced last year, though there was very little British about them, as has traditionally been the case. Guild nominations have also started pouring in as well, though what everyone wants to know is how all of this will affect the upcoming Oscar race.<br> Meanwhile, some established artists in the movie and music industries have started to offer their latest work directly to fans. By some accounts these experiments have proven incredibly successful and profitable, or so it would seem. Unfortunately, there’s no real way to tell since sales figures for such efforts are often hard to come by.<br> Of course, we also cover the week’s top entertainment news stories including John Travolta’s return to television, why actress Charlize Theron requested a pay raise on her next film and an update on the Sony cyber attack.<br> <br> Around-the-World Roundup: ‘Taken 3’ Adds $40 Million, ‘Hobbit’ Passes ‘Guardians’<br><br> <a title="Around-the-World Roundup: 'Taken 3' Adds $40 Million, 'Hobbit' Passes 'Guardians'" href="http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=3998&p=.htm" target="_blank">http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=3998&p=.htm</a><br> ‘PK’ Becomes Top-Grossing Film of All Time in India<br><br> <a title="'PK' Becomes Top-Grossing Film of All Time in India" href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/pk-top-grossing-film-india-761291" target="_blank">http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/pk-top-grossing-film-india-761291</a><br> BAFTA Nominations: ‘Grand Budapest Hotel’ Leads With 11<br><br> <a title="BAFTA Nominations: 'Grand Budapest Hotel' Leads With 11" href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/bafta-nominations-2015-unveiled-762089" target="_blank">http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/bafta-nominations-2015-unveiled-762089</a><br> Golden Globes: The Complete Winners List<br><br> <a title="Golden Globes: The Complete Winners List" href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/golden-globes-winners-2015-list-76120" target="_blank">http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/golden-globes-winners-2015-list-76120</a><br> Big Wins For ‘Transparent’ Make It Clear: TV’s Undergoing A Revolution<br><br> <a title="Big Wins For 'Transparent' Make It Clear: TV's Undergoing A Revolution" href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2015/01/12/376617091/tv-wins-at-golden-globes-hint-at-a-tv-revolution" target="_blank">http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2015/01/12/376617091/tv-wins-at-golden-globes-hint-at-a-tv-revolution</a><br> Why It Matters That ‘Transparent’ Won At The Golden Globes<br><br> <a title="Why It Matters That 'Transparent' Won At The Golden Globes" href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/dorothypomerantz/2015/01/12/why-it-matters-that-transparent-won-at-the-golden-globes/" target="_blank">http://www.forbes.com/sites/dorothypomerantz/2015/01/12/why-it-matters-that-transparent-won-at-the-golden-globes/</a><br> F.B.I.
