Roger Ailes’ shadow continues to loom large in U.S. politics but the Fox News boss will also have a presence at the 77th Golden Globe Awards after two separate projects about the controversial newsman scored nominations.
Lionsgate feature film Bombshell and Showtime mini-series The Loudest Voice each picked up two nominations – marking an unusual moment when projects from the big-screen and the small-screen covering the same subject are nominated at the same time.
On the television side, Crowe, who plays Ailes, has been nominated for best actor in a limited series and will come up against Catch-22’s Christopher Abbott, The Spy’s Sacha Baron Cohen, Fosse/Verdon’s Sam Rockwell and Chernobyl’s Jared Harris.
John Lithgow, who plays Ailes in Bombshell, however, was not nominated. It would have been particularly unusual for two actors to be up for awards for their different takes on the same real-life figure.
