Golden globe nominations.

http://www.goldenglobes.org/nominations/

Okay some of these are okay, but a lot are not what I would pick at all. Best picture noms are okay minus Precious, but Abbie Cornish not being nominated for best actress sucks. She was much more impressive than Emily Blunt. The best actor noms are okay, but Morgan freeman should not be nominated. He was just playing the same guy he always plays, and I thought Tobey Maguire was pretty good but a bit over the top. I would replace Morgan with Viggo mortensen or Kodi Smit Mcphee for their performance in The Road, and replace tobey maguire with Johm Malkovich for Disgrace or with Sam Rockwell for Moon. Best picture comedy is again okay nomination wise. It's complicated was nothing special, julie and julia was okay. The hangover, and 500 days over summer are pretty good choices though I question why In The loop wasn't chosen. Best actor in a comedy was okay, but replace Matt damon with Peter Capaldi for In the loop. Best supporting actor has good choices, even stanley tucci is a good choice even though Lovely bones sucked. I would prefer Paul Schneider for bright star, or timothy spall for the damned united. Best animated feature is a predictable one, though I would prefer Mary and max over cloudy with a chance of meatballs. Best score has a weird choice, Marvin Hamlisch's score for the informant should not have been chosen. It was one of the worst of the year. I hope Abel Korzeniowiski's score wins, it is much better than the other choices. I see Always sunny in philadelphia was snubbed again, but I could predict that. What do you think? Sorry if this has been posted before.

Moon gets snubbed I see.

I don't follow awards too closely, but how seriously are the Golden Globes taken? I mean, Ingloriuos Basterds for best picture?

.... replace tobey maguire.... with Sam Rockwell for Moon.... The hangover, and 500 days over summer are pretty good choices though I question why In The loop wasn't chosen.... but replace Matt damon with Peter Capaldi for In the loop.... I would prefer Paul Schneider for bright star....

These are what I agree with the most. Paul Schneider was great for such an unlikable character. Words can't describe how awesome Peter Capaldi was. He was one of the most entertaining characters of the year for me.

But seriously, why is Tobey up there and not Rockwell or Renner?

Everyone is praising Tobey, and he hasnt done a serious drama like this for a while. I thought he was over the top to be honest. Paul Schneider was fantastic, even though you hated him you could understand his character. His scene near the end when he breaks down was heartbreaking. Same with the break down scene Abbie Cornish did. She is a fantastic actress and miles better than Emily blunt. Peter Capaldi was amazing. He made swearing into an art. His insults were so good, my favorite phrase of his was "Nazi julie andrews."

I hope he gets an oscar nom, though I know he wont. In the loop is going to get ignored by the oscars probably:( Jamie was an awesome character too.

I've never cared for The Golden Globes. It's laughable that The Hangover and Julie & Julia are on there, yet A Serious Man isn't.sammyjenkis898

Its too dark a comedy for them I guess:P

Moon gets snubbed I see.

They choose better films than the oscars sometimes, but I dont think they are taken seriously by everyone. Something about Foreign press voting, some people dont like that for some reason.

As much as I like John Lithgow, Michael Emerson better win for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television:x

I've never cared for The Golden Globes. sammyjenkis898

Same... the Oscars aren't that great either, but they're at least more legitimate. I'm disappointed that The Road got no nominations... also, I find it interesting that Invictus got Best Actor/Supporting Actor/Director nominations but not a Best Picture one. I'm looking forward to seeing it still, probably will try to go this week.

Same here, which is really a shame. I hope it at least gets a nomination for a major category... hopefully Best Picture. I wouldn't expect it to win anyway, in part because too many people think it's too depressing, but I'll be disappointed if it gets completely snubbed.

I hope Viggo gets a best actors nomination instead of Morgan freeman or tobey maguire at the oscars. I havent heard much Oscar hype for the road yet, but that doesnt really mean anything. It could hopefully surprise everyone.

I think Viggo has a shot at a best actor nomination, but I feel like a Best Picture nomination is more likely, especially since there are 10 nominees. I really doubt it'd win, though.

I do want to see Christoph Waltz win Best Supporting, though.

Is there any hype for Best Actor/Actress, by the way? I haven't heard much about it yet...

Liam Neeson would have been a fantastic choice, I was also thinking of Gary Oldman.

Yeah the 10 nominations will get the road in, it better at least. This is a good year for the oscars because all the hyped films were good to me. I think these are my main choices for the awards you mentioned. I haven't heard much hype for best actor or actress yet, though there are good choices this year.

Best supporting actor:

Christoph Waltz for Inglorious basterds

Paul Schneider for Bright star

Woody Harrelson for The Messenger

Timothy Spall for The Damned United

Kodi Smit Mhphee for The Road- This kid was fantastic.

Christian McKay- Me and orson welles

Best actor:

Viggo Mortensen for The Road

John Malkovich for Disgrace

Johannes Krisch for Revanche

Michael Sheen for The Damned united

Sharlto Copley for District 9

Joaquin Phoenix for Two Lovers

Colin Firth for A single man

Sam Rockwell for Moon

Best Actress:

Abbie Cornish for Bright star

Carey Mulligan for An Education

Michelle Monaghan for Trucker

Arta Dobrashi for Lorna's silence

Yolande Moreau for Seraphine

Gwyneth Paltrow for Two Lovers

Tilda Swinton for Julia

Any of those choices would be fine.

The Road is opening in my town this weekend. I'm almost positive it won't get nominated for Best Picture, even with the ten slots.sammyjenkis898

He was a bit over the top at times, like the execution scene when he was captured was a bit ridiculous. The face he made was really over the top. He wasnt bad though, I liked his freak out scene at the end. It wasnt as good as the original danish film though. I actually though jake Ghllenhaal was better than Tobey. I found his character more interesting while Tobey's was just unlikeable. I never felt a connection between him and Natalie Portman. There are tons of better choices than Tobey Maguire for an award.

They seem to go out of their way to make sure a film fails. Not only have they pushed back The Road, but they barely release it anywhere. Such a shame too because I thought the road was an amazing film. Probably my favorite film this year next to A Serious Man, and In the loop.

They should have cast someone better like Ryan Gosling, Ben Foster or Paddy considine to play his part.
