Nominations come out on Tuesday morning. I think we have a good idea of the films that will be up for best drama, but what do we all think the nods will be for best musical/comedy? you think Rent and The Producers will get nods?

It seems like The Producers would be a sure thing. Still, it's weird that a film gets nominated before anyone (almost anyone) has a chance to see it.

I'm betting that Rent will pull out a couple of Globe nods.

I think this comedy category (assuming five nominees) will be thus:

Rent
Producers
Mrs. Henderson Presents
Walk the Line
The Family Stone

I can't see anything else making the list...anyone have alternates?

I'm a little nervous, being that Rent probably has realistic chances.

eek...*crosses fingers* I didn't realize the noms were so close

i don't think walk the line would be in the musicial/comedy catergory; more likely the drama category. and i highly doubt that rent will be nominated - at all.

That actually looks like a good list, touchme. The only other possibility might be something like Wallace and Gromet or 40 Year Old Virgin--something comic that we would never suspect.

And Drama will surely be

Brokeback Mountain
Munich
King Kong
Good Night, and Good Luck
Memoirs of a Geisha

Spoilers: Capote, Syriana, The History or Violence, Crash, Cinderella Man, Matchpoint, The Constant Gardener.

I'll be surprised if Good Night and Good Luck makes it in there. Syriana is a more likely bet, I'd say (as well as being a superior movie).

I saw it last night, and it was fantastic -- best movie I've seen this year.

My list would be closer to:

Syriana
Geisha
Munich
Brokeback
Crash

Although, I agree that your full list (if we include alternates) is the probable list. Although, the Globes usually throw one or two "what the fu%&!" nods in there, just for good measure.

I can't wait to see Syriana. So many films to see.

Robb--Ray was put in the musical or comedy category. However, it wouldn't shock me to see them put WTL in the Drama category if they aren't consistent.

i did not know that. i guess if they had "desperate housewives" up for best comedy at the emmy's they can do anything at the globes.

It's pretty much a given that RENT and THE PRODUCERS will get nominated, regardless of their quality. All studio-backed musicals always get nominated, to bolster up the latter half of the senseless "Comedy/Musical" category.

Remember when THE MASK OF ZORRO got nominated in that category? It was neither a comedy nor a musical.

I wouldn't be surprised to see In Her Shoes get in there in the M/C category with noms for the three women.

While it wouldn't make my jaw drop, In Her Shoes has gotten too many mixed reviews to get a nod. It's not a musical, so mixed reviews are hard to overcome.

Ray was in the Musical/Comedy category last year, so I would tend to think that Walk the Line will be as well.

[JerseyGirl2]

Walk the line will be in the Musical category? Well, Rent won't have a snowballs chance in hell.

[musicalsaregreat]

Posted: 12/8/05 at 12:56pm

I think 40 Year old Virgin or Wedding Crashers will have a chance for C/M nomination

[mabel]

Posted: 12/8/05 at 1:06pm

Frankly, I'd be rather shocked if RENT gets nominated for much of anything here (I'd say they'd be lucky to get anything at the Oscars when they don't have the "in" w/ the Musical/Comedy category).

I didn't realize the Golden Globe nominations were coming out on Tuesday...boy, I'm behind on my movie-going! The biggies are all going to be coming out, and I really need to get caught up!

[JerseyGirl2]

Posted: 12/8/05 at 1:08pm

Yeah, I am not sure Rent will be nominated at all. Hell, I still liked it(mostly.)

The GG's are a joke. It's time to do away with 'em.

[mabel]

Posted: 12/8/05 at 1:17pm

Eh, I think they're fun. When you've got celebs drinking all night at an awards show there's always the potential for a humorous and/or awkward moment!

Posted: 12/8/05 at 1:19pm

Um yea...how is WALK THE LINe a musical/comedy?

[BlueWizard]

Posted: 12/8/05 at 1:19pm

Not quite as a big a joke as the National Board of Review, though.

[jrb_actor]

Posted: 12/8/05 at 1:21pm

Only as much as Ray was, munk. I don't get it either.

[Borstalboy]

Posted: 12/8/05 at 1:22pm

These are the same people who gave Madonna ANNNND Pia Zadora a Best Actress award......need I say more?

[munkustrap178]

Posted: 12/8/05 at 1:25pm

I wouldn't say that Madonna's award for Evita was completely undeserved...
