Golden Globe Nominations

Golden Globe nominations were announced this morning. Here is the list of nominees:

Best Picture, Drama
Avatar
The Hurt Locker
Inglourious Basterds
Precious
Up in the Air
Thoughts - The Hurt Locker and Inglourious Basterds are two of my favorites. Avatar reminds me too much of Ferngully but I'm trying to stay open minded about it. Precious is going to be a critics darling this year. I really need to see Up in the Air.

Best Actress, Drama
Emily Blunt - The Young Victoria
Sandra Bullock - The Blind Side
Helen Mirren - The Last Station
Carey Mulligan - An Education
Gabourey Sidibe - Precious
Thoughts - I can see this being a knock-down drag-out fight between Mirren and Mulligan.

Best Actor, Drama
Jeff Bridges - Crazy Heart
George Clooney - Up in the Air
Colin Firth - A Single Man
Morgan Freeman - Invictus
Tobey Maguire - Brothers
Thoughts - I really need to see Up in the Air. I'm glad Maguire found a way in there because I thought he did an excellent job in Brothers. But where oh where is Jeremy Renner?!

Best Picture, Comedy or Musical
(500) Days of Summer
The Hangover
It's Complicated
Julie & Julia
Nine
Thoughts - (500) Days of Summer is another of my personal favorites. Also, I'm very pleasantly surprised to see The Hangover in this bunch.

Best Actress, Comedy or Musical
Sandra Bullock - The Proposal
Marion Cotillard - Nine
Julia Roberts - Duplicity
Meryl Streep - It's Complicated
Meryl Streep - Julie & Julia
Thoughts - Meryl nominated against herself! The way it should be. Also pleasantly surprised to see Bullock and Roberts in there.

Matt Damon - The Informant!
Daniel Day-Lewis - Nine
Robert Downey Jr. - Sherlock Holmes

Best Supporting Actor
Matt Damon - Invictus
Woody Harrelson - The Messenger
Christopher Plummer - The Last Station
Stanley Tucci - The Lovely Bones

Best Director
Kathryn Bigelow - The Hurt Locker
James Cameron - Avatar
Clint Eastwood - Invictus
Jason Reitman - Up in the Air
Quentin Tarantino - Inglourious Basterds
