The Golden Globes kick off what’s going to be a very boring year for awards.

Maybe Our Movie Doesn't Suck

Good:

• Kathryn Bigelow nominated for Hurt Locker… against ex husband James Cameron. Hahaha. Seriously, that’s historic!
• Basterds!!!!!!!!!
• Invictis not getting a best pic nomination. I haven’t even seen the film and I love Clint, so why does this make me happy? Probably because it looks like just another biopic. 
• The Hangover. Yup.
• Hum, maybe Avatar won’t be bad after all.
• Star Trek not nominated for best pic.
• Michael Stuhlbarg nominated for A Serious Man is cool. Still not sure he’s going to get an Oscar nom so this is something at least.  
• Three words: Joseph Gordon Levitt.
• White Ribbon nominated for Foreign film (but sadly not picture). 
• True Blood nominated for Best Drama. Thanks for going where the Emmys were afraid to go.
• Jane “Hung,”Jane “Hung,” Hane “Jung.” 
• John Lithgow nominated for his amazing performance as a killer in Dexter. Far too few people remember how good Lithgow was playing killers in the Brian de Palma films Obsession and Raising Cain.

Um, Not So Good:

• The headline Up in the Air leads Golden Globe Nominations. Couldn’t have happened to a more overrated film. Well, it could have, Lovely Bones, but that wasn’t nominated thank god.
• Ponyo misses the cut for best animated film. Don’t worry though, that fucking Meatball movie made it.
• Composer James Horner gets nominated for Avatar. Have not seen the film, or heard it, but my ears are already bleeding. Wishing now that Horner stayed where he belongs, in the 90s!  
• Tobey Maguire nominated for “acting”…
• … and Jeremy Renner (so good in Hurt Locker) was not. Fuck that noise, yo!
• Oh, and Viggo got shut out too. Viggo, Viggo, where are you? Can you hear me? Viggo???!!!
• Christian McKay not nominated for playing Orson Welles.
• I can’t wait to see It’s Complicatednow ::sarcasm:: because I’m sure the best screenplay nod for Something’s Gotta Give 2 this film is justified. Argh.
• THREE double nominated actors:  Sandra Bullock, Matt Damon, Meryl Streep.
• Did I mention Sandra Bullockwas nominated TWICE. And one of them was for THE PROPOSAL!!! Since the Globes is all about star fucking how ever did Ryan Reynolds miss out?   
• Julia Roberts? Duplicity? What? Oh, yeah, more star fucking.
• Lost not nominated for Best Drama. The nominated House is way better and is not like the same ever season.
• Um, where’s the Bryan Cranston and Breaking Bad nominations? I forgot, House is soooo better and more innovative.
