2010 GOLDEN GLOBE Nominations Announced Today!! — Page 2

Some are good, some bad.

Lost not getting nominated for best drama is ridiculous.

Jim Parsons and Big Bang (as well How I Met Your Mother) should have been nominated.

Not surprised by the no noms for the music for Princess and the Frog.

Glad Glee got the love it deserved.

Modern Family's nom was great, but no one from the cast deserved a nod? Really? Not that the best supporting actor category needs to be tougher with NPH and Michael Emerson in it already, but Eric Stonestreet and Ty Burrell deserved noms (though would Ty be lead?)

I am rooting for The Fantastic Mr. Fox to win for best animated movie. That seems to be a critical darling but I know absolutely nobody else who saw it.

"Take It All" not nominated by un-mixed "Cinema Italiano" was a little strange. Guess they had to make it interesting by nominating Bono and Sir Paul.

I know Betty Draper had a larger story line but I am shocked January Jones gets recognized now, let alone chosen before Elisabeth Moss.

I am kinda hoping Glee shocks everybody and wins best Comedy (even over my 30 Rock)- just to peeve the haters.

I guess you can get nominated for making a fool of yourself on a week-to-week basis. Hi, Courteney Cox. If the GG felt like they must go crass, low-brow they should have nominated Sarah Silverman.

I, unlike Ray, will not trash the movies I have yet to see. I have seen The Blind Side. It's alright but I already knew about the story and read the book (which the Oher storyline was about 1/3 of the book). Sandra was good but I pretty much want a restraining order against Tim McGraw from any Hollywood studio.

I was hoping Melanie Laurent got nominated for Inglorious Basterds. Her and Waltz were the strongest characters (as they were more intertwined than the rest of an actually fantastic cast) but there was too much competition in the Supporting Actress category.

Yeah for Joseph Gordon-Levitt! He'll always be Roger from Angels In The Outfield for me.

Apart of me wanted Woody Harrelson nominated for Zombieland.

Duplicity wasn't terrible but it pails in comparison to the previous Owen-Roberts pairing and also Gilroy's brilliant Michael Clayton.

If Christoph Waltz doesn't win there will be hell to pay. I don't care if Captain von Traap aka my first movie crush aka Chris Plummer wins.

I am glad Matt Damon's brilliant (best role he ever acted not named Jason Bourne or... well if you have seen the movies you know where I'm going) performance in The Informant! was not overlooked.

I assume Broken Embraces is a lock for Best Foreign Language movie through the awards season as it is Almodovar but keep an eye on The White Ribbon, the German film. The German film industry has been right up there with Spain this past decade in quality.

I think District 9 deserved Avatar's place in the Best Motion Picture Drama category.

"Love Sandra Bullock, but an Oscar nod for that?"

If you have not seen the movie, you have no place to judge her performance nor to criticize her nomination.

(Of course, I'm talking to someone who thought MAMMA MIA! was the best film last year.)

You removed one movie in favor of another, so yes.

"I was hoping Melanie Laurent got nominated for Inglorious Basterds. Her and Waltz were the strongest characters (as they were more intertwined than the rest of an actually fantastic cast) but there was too much competition in the Supporting Actress category."

YES. I thought Laurent was incredible, and I'm sad to see her not in there! I think Diane Kruger should have gotten some kind of recognition too. If Waltz doesn't take it, I will be furious. His performance was one of the finest I've ever seen. He put me on edge just drinking a glass of milk.

Also wondering where Jennifer Carpenter is...but I'm glad John Lithgow was nominated. For such a recognizable face, he completely disappeared into the character and did wonders with the dialogue. He was just incredible, genuinely frightening. It's his to lose, I think (hope).

I'm kind of surprised about True Blood, because although I love the show and it's probably my favorite right now, it can be really...bad. It's fun and entertaining, but sometimes it's also downright terrible.

I'm happy to see Big Love on there, since its last season aired so long ago. Especially excited for Chloe Sevigny, although she'll probably (rightfully) lose to Jane Lynch.

I agree JAG. I hope the IG cast gets nominated for best ensemble in the SAGs, but I think they would lose to Nine.

Yes I love me some True Blood but for every great episode there is one very laughably bad episode, but at least it goes into a blaze of glory. Mad Men should win anyway.

I would just like to say that I am in love with strummergirl.

You GO girl!

"Looking at the movie previews for Avatar, it really doesn't interest me that much. And it's a matter of opinion anyways."

It doesn't interest you so it doesn't deserve a nomination over another movie you saw? That's ridiculous. Plus, you said "anyways" so your point is automatically invalidated.

Of course I've decided whether or not to see a movie based on a trailer - but that doesn't mean I can judge if it's award-worthy or not.

Some movies may not be up my alley, but that doesn't make them unworthy of awards, and what's more, without my having seen them, it CERTAINLY doesn't make me able to judge!

Besides, trailers are often instruments of a marketing department and are certainly NOT the same as the whole film. How many comedies have you seen trailers for that look funny -- then you get to the theater and all the funny parts were in the trailer? Based on those trailers should the movies get awards?
