'May December' Considered a Comedy by Golden Globes, Decision Leaves Fans Baffled - Read Reactions!
The movie May December is expected to receive a lot of award nominations this season, but one thing might surprise you.
The Netflix film is being classified as a “comedy” at the Golden Globes, a decision that has left fans baffled as most people believe the film is clearly a drama.
Natalie Portman is considered a frontrunner in the Best Actress – Musical or Comedy category and the film likely will score a nomination for Best Picture – Musical or Comedy. If the film was eligible in the drama categories, there would be a lot more competition and a nomination wouldn’t be as possible.
Natalie was joined by co-stars Julianne Moore and Charles Melton at a UK screening of the movie on Wednesday (December 6) at the Curzon Bloomsbury theater in London, England.
Julianne and Charles will both be eligible in the supporting acting categories at the Golden Globes, which aren’t separated by drama and comedy.

May December is very very very good despite some heavy handed animal motifs. Julianne Moore is exceptional as ever. BUT idg all of the reviews placing it as a comedy??? What was funny? Natalie Portman’s character, an egotist actress, could have been played for laughs but wasn’t!

MAY DECEMBER, a film about child grooming and abuse, was submitted as a "Comedy/Musical" at the Golden Globes.
Tell me again why we should take the Golden Globes seriously?

Mind you, I think may December is great and Natalie was excellent. But it isn’t a comedy. But the globes always play loose with the comedy category (remember the Martian fiasco?). I just wish comedy in general was respected more at these shows in general. https://t.co/5LPZcGmSHR

Comedy/Musical is already a stupid category, bcuz the two are NOT one and the same.
Now, by adding May December, a movie that is CLEARLY not even a dark comedy, it means dramas that need less competition can be placed here and likely win, bcuz the academy loves dramas🙄🙄 https://t.co/AAUrW6rooH
