‘Brooklyn’ Hold Your Head: Golden Globes Ignores A Great Movie
by 
by Brooklyn, a film based on an Irish immigrant moving to the borough to begin a new life, may not have been the show stopper at the Golden Globe nomination announcements but still deserves an honorable mention.
This year’s Golden Globe nominations were filled with expected box office elite like Carol and Steve Jobs, and a few surprises like Creed, Mad Max: Fury Road and Room. While it’s always amazing to see movie that may have totally gone over the public’s head get nominated, I can’t help to think Brooklyn, a exceptional period piece, might have gone overlooked by the Golden Globe judges.
Given there are only five slots, every year, for the movies to have the best impact on the judges psyche, I can’t help to think Brooklyn could of definitely been the “sixth man of the year” as I do believe Best Picture (Top 5 of 2015) could be pushing it. Breakout actress Saoirse Ronan, nominated for Best Actress, was the only representation this year from the film.
Here’s what parts of the film I do believe deserves an substitute award-winning mention:
Emory Cohen as Antonio “Tony” Fiorello
Though in real life Cohen is a Jewish man born in Manhattan, he played the role of a Brooklyn Italian ever so perfectly. In all honesty, he was my favorite as I fell in love with his character over and over again.
Julie Walters as Madge Kehoe

Madge Kohoe, played by the ever so legendary Julie Walters, was the life of the film. Walters brought subtle comedy to this heart-warming love story and kept us on our toes in every scene she was featured.
James DiGiacomo as Tony’s little brother, Frankie
This young actor completely steals the show.From his breakout line “We don’t like Irish people” at the dinner table to “She must be a Yankees fan” as the family was fond of the then Brooklyn Dodgers, DiGiacom should have easily been nominated for Best Supporting Actor.
Odile Dicks-Mireaux, Brooklyn’s head of Costume Design
The films 50’s style costumes were insanely perfect. “I hadn’t done this time period before, and it was a huge pleasure to look through stock that was just so beautifully made,” told Entertainment Weekly. Well she did a damn good job.
