Surprise:
La Llorona for Best Foreign Language Film — Horror cinema has, with a few key exceptions, always had to fight for space in awards season, so it's nice when any title gets to slip into the field, and this year the horror gem that managed to crack the Golden Globes is Jayro Bustamente's politically charged take on the La Llorona legend. We've known for a few months that Guatemala planned to submit the film as its entry for Best International Film at the Oscars this year, and now that level of attention and the immense critical acclaimed heaped on the film have landed it a Globes nod.
