2010 Golden Globe Nominations + a few short thoughts


Best Motion Picture - Drama

Glad to see that Black Swan made it in here, although I'm surprised at the lack of love for True Grit (not a single nomination).


Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy

Wow...these are just awful. Alice in Wonderland AND The Tourist? This is the HFPA star-fucking at its worst. They could have put the likes of Please Give, Scott Pilgrim, Easy A, Another Year, or Made in Dagenham in there, and they pick this list? Shame.


Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama

A little surprised that Wahlberg got in, although I guess I shouldn't be considering the recent streak the film has been on. And yay for Ryan Gosling's mention. See HFPA, nominating indies doesn't hurt that much, does it?


Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama

I think I called all of these except for Berry, and now that I think about it, it was silly of me not to predict her. Portman will take this, and if not, look for Lawrence or Kidman.


Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy

That Johnny Depp double nomination is horrific. His Mad Hatter was weird all right, but not in a good way. And as far as The Tourist goes, well, he had a few little moments, but other than that he was totally flat.


Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy

Jolie's nomination here is just as bad as the film's nomination for Best Picture. There's just nothing there except a star. A vacant, joyless star. Oh, and while I'm at it: so long, Lesley Manville/Another Year.


Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture

Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture

Two words: Jacki. Weaver. That is all (oh, and good for Mila Kunis).


Best Director - Motion Picture

Best Original Song - Motion Picture

Burlesque (2010/I): Diane Warren("You Haven't Seen The Last of Me")

Country Strong (2010): Bob DiPiero, Tom Douglas, Hillary Lindsey, Troy Verges("Coming Home")

Tangled (2010): Alan Menken, Glenn Slater("I See the Light")

Oh boy, they passed over Mansell and Burwell for...Danny Elfman at his most generic/boring. That's just great HFPA...
