Awards seasons is full swing with the nominations and today it was the Golden Globes turn at it. Once again The Weinstein Company rightfully dominated the awards with 12 noms for Inglourious Basterds, Nine and A Single Man, but Up In The Air had the most noms for a movie. I don’t get the George Clooney thing, I had to swear off his movies because to me they are unwatchable and extremely boring and are very small niche crowd…critics. On a positive note at least the movies are a little more mainstrean than years’ past. Although where is Star Trek on that list?
When it comes to TV, it is the opposite. I am happy that Glee sang its way to 4 noms and Modern Family was also represented! It was also nice to see David Duchovny, Courteney Cox and Neil Patrick Harris gets the noms, but where is Jim Parsons? And as much as I loved Thomas Jane in Hung, if you are going to be in a show based on the size of your penis and you are not going to show than I say you don’t deserve the nomination.
What do you think of the noms?
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s Golden Globes will be hosted by Ricky Gervais on NBC on January 17th.
