Golden Globe Nominations Include TIO Telluride Film Festival Favorites

Golden Globe Nominations Include TIO Telluride Film Festival Favorites

The Golden Globe Award nominations were announced this morning and Telluride Film Festival organizers get to feel very smart about their picks. Film Fest attendees get to feel privileged and TIO founders Susan and Clint Viebrock get to feel both smart and privileged because so many of the nominations are for films that premiered this fall in Telluride. 

TIO and the rest of the Telluride film crowd saw and loved Up In the Air before Toronto International Film Festival had its turn – and long before it hit the mainstream theaters. That scene was repeated with The Last Station and An Education

The only films on the Golden Globe nominations list that came out of Telluride that TIO did not see were The White Ribbon and A Prophet, but Clint and Susan definitely caught wind of the buzz surrounding those two enough to mention them in one of their Film Festival posts. (ed. note – A Prophet was initially  inadvertently left out; thanks for the catch!)

Taking notice of films that end up associated with ten eleven Golden Globe nominations can make you feel practically clairvoyant!
