I know these are a few days late but here’s some brief thoughts on the 2008 Golden Globe Nominations.
Motion Pictures
* The tie that created the 7 nominees in the Best Drama category is a good thing. It never hurts to throw more logs on the fire.
* I’m so excited to see There Will Be Blood, Paul Thomas Anderson’s new opus which scored a best pic nom and a best actor nod for Daniel Day-Lewis.
* The Animated film section is really interesting and may not automatically go to Pixar this year. Both Bee Movie and The Simpsons Movie were critical and commercial successes that could give Ratatouille a run.
* If Julia Roberts beats Tilda Swinton in the Best Supporting Actress category I will pummel myself.
* Juno is certainly living up to the awards hype that was buzzing around it a month ago.
TV
* No Lost!!!! No Friday Night Lights!!!! Is the Hollywood Foreign Press insane?!?!?!? The Tudors….really HFP? House???? I remember when the Globes were the cool TV awards but this line up is stodgier then the queen’s upper lip.
* Comedy is a little better although…NO OFFICE!!!! Are you fricking kidding me!!!?!?!?!?!!? Ok at least 30 Rock, Extras and Entourage have gotten their due and while I’d argue against Pushing Daisies being in this category, I am pleased to see it nominated for best series.
* The most fun category has to go to Actor, Musical Comedy. While David Duchovny’s show has been spat upon by critics and audiences and his nomination may be the least deserving who wouldn’t want to see Mulder take home an award. Meanwhile Alec Baldwin and Steve Carrell will battle each other in the fight of NBC Thursday night stars. Ricky Gervais is always deserving and might be the favorite (hint; he’s a foreigner). Then you’ve got the amazing Lee Pace who has helped make Pushing Daisies the best new show of the year. Now if we could just classify it correctly…
