While making the film, in which she plays a mother who is convinced she's turning into a dog, Adams says she learned to accept both her character and herself in a new way.

David, Richard, and Rebecca break down all of the major surprises (Pamela Anderson! Kate Winslet!) and snubs (No Danielle Deadwyler or Marianne Jean-Baptiste?) from Monday's Golden Globes nominations announcement—both in terms of how they might impact the Oscar race, and how they reflect a (somewhat) changed Globes membership.
