Golden Globes Nominations 2010

Ho ho ho!  Tis the Season...for shiny gold statues to be handed out!  The Golden Globe nominations are like the Advent Calendar for the Oscars, a way to count down until the big event.  Of course, awards get handed out year round at various festivals, the Golden Lions for Venice, the Palme d'Or at Cannes, but like foreign holidays, we in the States just don't pay much attention.  Let's get to it, shall we? 


None of these are really a surprise since these are the movies that everyone has been talking about.  The Social Network is probably going to win, but I'm holding out for Inception...since it's the only one I've seen so far.  I seriously debated linking all the posts that I've already seen since I know I'm going to link most of the same damn ones for my Oscar nomination post but fuck it, I want the pageviews.

BEST MOTION PICTURE, COMEDY
Alice in Wonderland

Burlesque
The Kids Are All Right
Red
The Tourist

I'm actually quite pleased that I've seen all of these except for The Kids Are All Right.  I'll probably end up seeing that one as well because it'll end up on the Oscar Noms but I'm not stressing it.

ACTOR, DRAMA
Jesse Eisenberg, The Social Network
Colin Firth, The King’s Speech
James Franco, 127 Hours 

Ryan Gosling, Blue Valentine 
Mark Wahlberg, The Fighter

ACTRESS, DRAMA
Halle Berry, Frankie and Alice 

Nicole Kidman, Rabbit Hole 
Jennifer Lawrence, Winter’s Bone
Natalie Portman, Black Swan
Michelle Williams, Blue Valentine

Can you tell I'm not a big Drama fan?  I don't even want to speculate on who's going to win because it'll be boring.  Jesse Eisenberg for Best Actor and probably Halle Berry for whatever the hell she was in that I've never heard of.

ACTOR, COMEDY OR MUSICAL
Johnny Depp, Alice in Wonderland

Johnny Depp, The Tourist
Paul Giamatti, Barney’s Version
 Jake Gyllenhaal, Love and Other Drugs 
Kevin Spacey, Casino Jack

I think Johnny Depp is going to take this one.  He does have twice as much of a shot but I don't think The Tourist will work in his favor.  Apparently no one liked it but me.

ACTRESS, COMEDY OR MUSICAL
Annette Bening, The Kids Are All Right
Anne Hathaway, Love and Other Drugs
Angelina Jolie, The Tourist
Julianne Moore, The Kids Are All Right
Emma Stone, Easy A


I'd like to see Emma Stone win this but it'll probably go to either Annette Benning or Julianne Moore.

SUPPORTING ACTOR
Christian Bale, The Fighter
Michael Douglas, Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps
Andrew Garfield, The Social Network
Jeremy Renner, The Town

Geoffrey Rush, The King’s Speech

Is it cynical of me to guess Michael Douglas because he almost died this year?

SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Amy Adams, The Fighter
Helena Bonham Carter, The King’s Speech
Mila Kunis, Black Swan
Jacki Weaver, Animal Kingdom

Melissa Leo, The Fighter

I didn't see any of these so I have no idea who to root for but I'll say Mila Kunis because I loved her in That 70's Show.

DIRECTOR
Darren Aronovsky, Black Swan
David Fincher, The Social Network
Tom Hooper, The King’s Speech
Christopher Nolan, Inception
David O. Russell, The Fighter


Nolan, hands down. 

SCREENPLAY
Danny Boyle and Simon Beaufoy, 127 Hours
Lisa Cholodenko and Stuart Blumberg, The Kids Are All Right
Christopher Nolan, Inception
David Seidler, The King’s Speech
Aaron Sorkin, The Social Network


I think they'll give this one to Danny Boyle and Simon Beaufoy, probably to make up for something else.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM
Biuitiful
The Concert
The Edge
I Am Love

In a Better World

No freakin' idea on these.  One's got Tilda Swinton and one's got Javier Bardem and the other three I haven't even heard of.  Based on that:  Biutiful because everyone loves some Javier.


BEST ORIGINAL SCORE
Alexandre Desplat, The King’s Speech
Danny Elfman, Alice in Wonderland
A.R. Rahman, 127 Hours
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, The Social Network
Hans Zimmer, Inception

BEST ORIGINAL SONG
“Bound to You,” Burlesque

“Coming Home,” Country Strong
“I See the Light,” Tangled
“There’s A Place For Us,” Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader
“You Haven’t Seen The Last of Me,” Burlesque


Don't ask me about scores, because I never pay attention.  Probably Inception just for the BWAAAAAM noises.  As for original song, "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me" was Cher's ballad.  Loved it.

TELEVISION SERIES, DRAMA
Boardwalk Empire
Dexter
The Good Wife
Mad Men
The Walking Dead


TV is a bit harder a category for me.  I tend to like the shows I like and I just don't have time (even with a DVR) to watch as much as I apparently need.  The Good Wife started to bore me halfway through the last season so I stopped watching.  Ditto with Boardwalk Empire.  I still have a couple of episodes of Dexter to watch but I'm not holding out hope for a season finale like last year's.  As for the other two, I missed out on the first season/episode so I never started.

ACTRESS IN A TELEVISION SERIES, DRAMA
Julianna Marguiles, “The Good Wife”
Elisabeth Moss, “Mad Men”
Piper Perabo, “Covert Affairs”
Katey Sagal, “Sons of Anarchy”
Kyra Sedgwick. “Closer”

ACTOR IN A TELEVISION SERIES, DRAMA
Steve Buscemi, “Boardwalk Empire”
Bryan Cranston, Breaking Bad”
Michael C. Hall, “Dexter”
Jon Hamm, “Mad Men”
Hugh Laurie, “House”

TELEVISION SERIES, COMEDY OR MUSICAL
30 Rock
The Big Bang Theory
The Big C
Glee
Modern Family
Nurse Jackie


I'm even worse on this one.  The only show I watch here is Glee.  But I hope it wins every award it's up for.

ACTRESS IN A TELEVISION SERIES, COMEDY OR MUSICAL
Toni Collette, “The United States of Tara”
Edie Falco, “Nurse Jackie”
Tina Fey, “30 Rock”
Laura Linney, “The Big C”
Lea Michele, “Glee.”

ACTOR IN A TELEVISION SERIES, COMEDY OR MUSICAL
Alec Baldwin, “30 Rock”
Steve Carell, “The Office”
Thomas Jane, “Hung”
Matthew Morrison, “Glee”
Jim Parsons, “Big Bang Theory”

Is Hung still on the air?  I thought that show got cancelled...
MINISERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION
“Carlos”
“The Pacific”
“Temple Grandin”
“You Don’t Know Jack”
“Pillars of the Earth”

ACTRESS IN A MINISERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION
Hayley Atwell, “Pillars of the Earth”
Claire Danes, “Temle Grandin”
Judi Dench, “Return to Cranford”
Romola Garai, “Emma”
Jennier Love Hewitt, “The Client List”

ACTOR IN A MINISERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION

Hope Davis, “The Special Relationship”
Jane Lynch, “Glee”
Kelly MacDonald, “Boardwalk Empire”
Julia Stiles, “Dexter”
Sofia Vergara, “Modern Family”

ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A SERIES, MINISERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION
Scott Caan, “Hawaii Five-0”
Chris Colfer, “Glee”
Chris Noth, “The Good Wife”
Eric Stonestreet, “Modern Family”
David Straithern, “Temple Grandin”


I do watch Hawaii Five-0 but I don't think Scott Caan should get a Golden Globe for it.  Chris Colfer legitimately deserves this one for his portrayal of a gay kid being bullied.  That's an issue that should have more attention paid to it.
