The Golden Globes nominations were announced today. I have not seen many of these movies

2020 Golden Globe nominations: the full list of nominees
The Golden Globes will take place this Sunday, January 5.

For some time now I've seen "Parasite" win awards and earn raves but it has not played here and I suspect it won't as a foreign language film. Has anyone in our community here viewed it?
It was running here for a week but I missed it. May have to check out other theatres.
ETA- Looks like I can see it tomorrow evening at the theatre near me.
The Critics' Choice Awards nominees came out yesterday:
http://www.criticschoice.com/critics-choice-awards/
Interestingly the headline for the Critics' Choice TV awards was When They See Us leads with the most nominations with This Is Us and Schitt's Creek next most. And all three of those shows were not nominated for Golden Globes.
I went to see it this week. Thought it was really good and well acted. Other than Cynthia Erivo playing Harriet, Joe Alwyn playing Gideon Brodess stood out in that respect.Has anyone seen Harriet? I haven't had a chance yet, but the trailer looked good.

Why am I seeing some 2018 movies listed under ‘best 50 of 2019’? I noticed ‘The favourite’ and ‘if Beale street could talk’ on the list.I'm going to add a list of these awards because I do so every year. They aren't the best indicator of Oscar, but I find them useful to see what the critics are champion (even though the National Board of Review aren't critics) and I find myself agreeing more with them that the Oscars even if I don't always.

I'm looking forward to seeing what The National Society of Film Critics (approximately 60 members who write for a variety of weekly and daily newspapers along with major publications and media outlets) choose even they do not parallel with Oscar often. They usually announce in the first week of January and they've consistently chosen some of my favorite movies of the year. Not to be confused with The Critics' Choice Awards which are conducted by The Broadcast Film Critics Association aka 250 television, radio and online critics.
Also, here is Sight & Sound's year-end list chosen by a poll of 100 contributors of the magazine (there's some of last year's titles in there because it's a British publication with international contributors where some 2018 films were not released until 2019):

Why am I seeing some 2018 movies listed under ‘best 50 of 2019’? I noticed ‘The favourite’ and ‘if Beale street could talk’ on the list.
I love Quentin Tarantino films, but I feel like I was the only person who didn't love Once Upon A Time, and didn't think Brad Pitt was anything that spectacular in it.
With the Globes tonight, I'm looking forward to seeing how Jennifer Lopez will dress. She's got such interesting style, but will she go for the classic look (like she did just a few days ago when she won an award)?
I haven't seen many of the films up for awards this year, but I will say that I absolutely loved Knives Out, and love that Daniel Craig and Ana de Armas were nominated for Globes for their brilliant performances. (I hate that a random sweater Chris Evans wore for less than half the movie took so much media focus, though)
Best FilmJoker led the pack with 11 nominations, closely followed by The Irishman (Martin Scorsese's 14th BAFTA nomination) and Once Upon a Time in...Hollywood (Quentin Tarantino's 11th BAFTA nom) with 10 each, and Sam Mendes' 1917 just behind with nine.
Elsewhere, BAFTA will likely face a headache after it emerged that this year's main acting categories failed to include a single person of color at the same time as no female filmmakers made it onto the directors' shortlist. ...
In terms of distributors, Netflix led the charge with 23 nominations, including 10 for The Irishman and five each for Marriage Story and The Two Popes, followed by Sony with 16, with Once Upon a Time in Hollywood accounting for 10.
...
The awards ceremony itself will take place at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Feb. 2.
Movie producer nominations copied out below; TV producer awards are listed in the article.The Producers Guild of America has revealed its nominees in the motion picture and television categories for its 31st Annual Producers Guild Awards; nominees include recent Golden Globe winners “1917,” “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood,” “Missing Link,” “Succession,” “Fleabag” and “Chernobyl.”
The PGA, which has about 8,200 members, has matched the Oscar for best picture in 21 of its 30 years, including “The Green Book” last year and “The Shape of Water” in 2018.
The PGA uses a preferential balloting system that’s similar to that employed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The PGA and AMPAS both expanded their voting for the top film to 10 nominees in 2009. About three-quarters of the PGA’s Zanuck nominees wind up as Oscar best picture nominees.
