Posted: 12/11/08 at 9:06amclearly the golden globes are also homophobic and must be banned along with the anti-gay ap.

I must say it's really strange that Milk didn't get more noms. Particularly because of the attention it's been getting from other critics... oh, and because IMO, it's the best film of the year.
EDIT: And Josh Brolin has already won three major critics awards for Best Supporting Actor, but didn't even get nominated for a Globe.
WTF?

The Golden Globes are getting ridiculous.
MAMMA MIA! as a nominee for Best Picture? And what's scary is it could possibly win...how is it nominated over something like FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL? Or even an animated movie that could get a double nomination?
This is an odd list this year....

I was floored by the lack of attention for "Milk." Josh Brolin is winning critics' awards right and left and Tom Freakin' Cruise gets nominated over him?
I really don't think it's homophobia...it's just an old boys club that likes to honor its own..how else could Cruise get nominated?
"Mamma Mia" got two nods...not unexpected.
Overall, the nominations pretty much suck this year. Everytime you think the GG's are about to emerge from joke status, they have a year like this that reinforces that perception.

The Globes choices are feeling very "antique" this year.
EDIT: They also didn't nominate Clint Eastwood for Gran Torino. He's won some top prizes already, too.

I would agree with papa on this. The homophobia on display is egregious. The HFPA should be ashamed!
Oh wait, Mamma Mia got a couple of nods too. I guess they do like gays after all!

Tazzy, they only like "happy singing gays."
Not serious gays.

They also nominated Shirley MacLaine for that "Coco Channel" Lifetime Channel movie, and she was absolutely HORRIBLE in it.
Glad to see they still have a 1982 sensibility.

Posted: 12/11/08 at 9:29amLooks like the gay members of the Globe committee "called in gay" during the voting, judging from all the clumsy choices.

Posted: 12/11/08 at 9:42amThe TV noms are ridiculous. The only reason I might watch now is for 30 Rock and The Office -- to not nominate anything from Lost is just wrong - the show had its best year since the first season, and without a doubt Michael Emerson and Henry Ian Cusack deserved nods. How I Met Your Mother is continually overlooked for best comedy (though I'm glad NPH got recognized) and nothing for the brilliant Pushing Daisies at all.

Well, they really wanted to preserve their straf*cker status, didn't they?
Clumsy is the perfect word to describe these nomination.

Posted: 12/11/08 at 10:17amI am hoping that the Oscars Nominations will be better choices. Most of these nominations are so dull. I am surprised that Milk did not get a Best Picture nod or Best Director nod. Well, sometimes the Oscar nominations can be a surprise. We will have to see.

So... they nominated Tom Cruise for TROPIC THUNDER. Over Robert Downey, Jr.
Do I NEED to say anything?
EDIT: Oh. They nominated both.
I am an idiot.
Um...
MAMMA MIA! for Best Comedy?!
COME ON!!!

Yeah I was suprised with some of these nominations
Tom Cruise for Tropic Thunder? Really? In Bruges? A comedy???? I watched it and I think I laughed once...it was downright depressing(Just like the one year they put in David Copperfield as a comedy)
Milk should have gotten more then 1 nod(best picture and supporting actor Emile Hircsh). I think Rachel getting Married should have gotten more then 1 nod (how about directing and best supporting actress). Michael Sheen should have been nominated for Frost/Nixon
I think Elisabeth Moss was overlooked from Mad Men as was the actor who plays Pete and Joan. Also Rainn Wilson from the Office and nothing for Lost??? Really Michael Emerson was overlooked again and Pushing Daisies not getting one nom makes me sad.

Those noms are all over the place. There are several I am happy about (Vicky Cristina Barcelona and the song from Wall-E particularly), but they are truly mystefying. All the Benjamin Button love really comes across as old-school weepy Academy nonsense. I'm sure it is a sweet film, but I hope it doesn't become the English Patient or A Beautiful Mind of 2008.
And most of the television noms are just flat-out hilarious.

Posted: 12/11/08 at 12:10pmOn the other hand, they showed a degree of taste and intelligence in that THE DARK KNIGHT got snubbed except for a single nomination for Heath Ledger's performance.
