Well the Golden Globes are out today and my greatest fear has come true; I haven’t seen crap this year when it comes to awards caliber flicks. I’m going to have to go on some kind of cram session before Oscar takes the stage in a couple of months. Here are some quick thoughts on the nominations:
* Nice to see not only Borat get a nod but also Sacha Baron Cohen for what is arguably the most in character performance of the year.
* What’s with the double noms? Leo gets two in acting and Clint for directing but will probably end canceling themselves out.
* Two US films made by Mel Gibson and Clint Eastwood are in the Foreign category? Doesn’t the Hollywood Foreign Press know the definition of foreign.
* The only movie I’ve seen on the nomination list is the stupid Da Vinci Code and I thought the music in that was piss poor.
* No surprise but the best supporting actor category is shaping up to be the best category out there.
* Where are the two goods (Shepherd and German)? Did they come out too late?
* Alec Baldwin nomination for 30 Rock is awesome but if he looses to fucking Tony Shalhoub I’ll brain myself.
* No Studio 60 noms except for supporting actress? Outrage!
* Where are Scrubs and 30 Rock in the Best Comedy category?
* I’m thinking The Departed and Babel are shoo ins for Oscar noms based on these with Dreamgirls an almost sure fire bet to join them, but these nominations do nothing to point to the last two Best Picture spots.
