Golden Globe Nominations

Best Picture - Drama
Black Swan
The Fighter
Inception
The King's Speech
The Social Network
Thoughts - My two favorites of the year are here (The Social Network and Inception). I'm pretty stoked to see Black Swan and The Fighter. The King's Speech looks, probably, like the most boring movie of all time. No love for Shutter Island!

Best Actress - Drama
Halle Berry - Frankie and Alice
Nicole Kidman - Rabbit Hole
Jennifer Lawrence - Winter's Bone
Natalie Portman - Black Swan
Michelle Williams - Blue Valentine
Thoughts - Go Natalie!!!!

Best 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
Thoughts - No love for DiCaprio this year who gave not one, but TWO amazing performances (maybe the awesomeness of each canceled each other out??). Also, what strikes me about both of these lead acting categories is how very young it skews. Who are the oldest people here? Kidman, Berry, Firth? They are hardly ready to join AARP. And finally, go JESSE!!!! (Not only does he give the best performance of the year, imho, but also you just know his acceptance speech would be equal parts adorable and awkward).

Best Picture - Comedy or Musical
Alice in Wonderland
Burlesque
The Kids Are All Right
Red
The Tourist
Thoughts - Really??? This is the best they could do??? I mean, I guess The Kids Are All Right in a really pretentious kind of way but there were far better comedies than this load of crap.

Best 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
Thoughts - I dislike more than half of these people. I'll be with the haters cheering for Julianne or Emma!

Best 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
Thoughts - This is pretty much the most pathetic category of all time.

Best Supporting Actress
Amy Adams - The Fighter
Helena Bonham Carter - The King's Speech
Mila Kunis - Black Swan
Melissa Leo - The Fighter
Jacki Weaver - Animal Kingdom
Thoughts - Go Mila!

Best Supporting Actor
Christian Bale - The Fighter
Michael Douglas - Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps
Andrew Garfield - The Social Network
Jeremy Renner - The Town
Geoffrey Rush - The King's Speech
Thoughts - I am pleasantly surprised to see Renner in there. He was the best thing about The Town and I really thought he would get overlooked now that all the big guns are coming out. Also, go Andrew! If Jesse Eisenberg didn't give the best performance of the year, then Andrew would have!

Best Director
Darren Aronofsky - Black Swan
David Fincher - The Social Network
Tom Hooper - The King's Speech
Christopher Nolan - Inception
David O. Russell - The Fighter
Thoughts - Three of my fave directors are nominated here. You have no idea how happy it makes me to see directors who are usually way too weird for mainstream to dominated this category. As long as Aronofsky, Fincher or Nolan win, I'll be happy.

And, since I'm toying with making this a movie / TV / music blog (thoughts??), here are the TV nominations as well...

Best TV Series - Drama
Boardwalk Empire
Dexter
The Good Wife
Man Men
The Walking Dead
Thoughts - I don't watch The Good Wife. I want so very badly to watch The Walking Dead but, alas, I must wait for DVD. I may be the only person on the planet who thinks Mad Men is overrated. I love Dexter so freaking much but I am currently two seasons behind. So that leaves the BRILLIANT Boardwalk Empire as my choice for winner!

Best Actress - Drama
Julianna Margulies - The Good Wife
Elisabeth Moss - Mad Men
Piper Perabo - Covert Affairs
Katey Sagal - Sons of Anarchy
Kyra Sedgwick - The Closer
Thoughts - KATEY F-ING SAGAL!!!!!!! I love her so much on that show. Go Katey!!!!

Best Actor - Drama
Steve Buscemi - Boardwalk Empire
Bryan Cranston - Breaking Bad
Michael C. Hall - Dexter
Jon Hamm - Mad Men
Hugh Laurie - House
Thoughts - They should just call this category "the usual suspects." I could care less about the last two on the list. Hall and Buscemi are so super good. But, really, Cranston has the best role on TV and he knocks it out of the park every freaking second of every minute of ever episode. As long as Breaking Bad is on TV, he should be rightfully winning every award ever. They should probably even just invent awards to give to him.

Best TV Series - Comedy or Musical
30 Rock
The Big Bang Theory
The Big C
Glee
Modern Family
Nurse Jackie
Thoughts - I do love me some Glee but I also think that Modern Family is the absolutely best show on TV.

Best Actress - Comedy or Musical
Toni Collette - United States of Tara
Edie Falco - Nurse Jackie
Tina Fey - 30 Rock
Laura Linney - The Big C
Lea Michele - Glee
Thoughts - I love Laura Linney? I don't watch that show though. Honestly, I don't really care.

Best Actor - Comedy or Musical
Alec Baldwin - 30 Rock
Steve Carell - The Office
Thomas Jane - Hung
Matthew Morrison - Glee
Jim Parsons - The Big Bang Theory
Thoughts - It would be nice for Carell to win for his final season on the show, yeah?

Best Supporting Actress
Hope Davis - The Special Relationship
Jane Lynch - Glee
Kelly MacDonald - Boardwalk Empire
Julia Stiles - Dexter
Sofia Vergara - Modern Family
Thoughts - I really hate MacDanald's character on Boardwalk Empire although I did like her very much in No Country For Old Men. Maybe that's the sign of a super great performance? Either way, I'm all in for Lynch!

Best Supporting Actor
Scott Caan - Hawaii Five-O
Chris Colfer - Glee
Chris Noth - The Good Wife
Eric Stonestreet - Modern Family
David Strathairn - Temple Grandin
Thoughts - Oh, there is so much epic fail in this category. First of all, Stonestreet is great as Cam on Modern Family but Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Mitchell) and Ty Burrell (Phil) are the superior performances by far. That was my tiny, little problem with this category. As for the giant, gleaming, awfulness??? Boardwalk Empire has the best, THE BEST, supporting actors in the business and not a single one of them was nominated!?!?! No Michael Pitt?? No Michael Shannon?? No Shea Whigham?? No Michael Stuhlbarg?? No Stephen Graham?? No Vincent Piazza?? It's a freaking shame. For a category that got so very much wrong at least they got Chris Colfer (the best actor on Glee by a mile) so very right.
