Do you know what today is, folks? It’s Golden Globe nomination day, that time of year when we pretend the Golden Globes are somehow relevant, even though they’re decided by the “Hollywood Foreign Press Association,” a shady group made up of press from publications no one reads who studios can basically buy off with a nice enough gift bag. Yay, here are their nominations! Most of which are from movies you couldn’t have seen because they aren’t out yet! Hooray, the HFPA is so much cooler than us!

Yay, three best supporting actresses from Nine, that movie had singing! Hey, who’s an actress whose nomination is unquestionable? Yay, let’s nominate Meryl Streep twice! Then we can do a music awards show and give every trophy to The Beatles! Woohoo, let’s give Nancy Meyers a screenplay nomination, she made Alec Baldwin say things like “Oh em gee!” Awesome, let’s all do more cocaine!

Anyone else read “I See You” from Avatar like a deaf kid?
I’ll see you in Hell
I don’t see The Big Lebowski anywhere on that list.
How is Christoph Waltz a supporting actor in Inglourious Basterds? He’s got more screen time than anyone else in the flick.
/serious
Yeah, I’d use that list to wipe up pet piss, so it’s definitely a sham,wow I stretched for this whole thing.
The Mighty Feklahr understands we are to do cocaine now?
Meryl Streep wonders if the Golden Globes can hear her…
So, anyway, He is on day 2 of profound sinus cold/Dayquil decongestant OD. This could either make Him hilariously hilarious, or barely noticeable FAIL.
Oh, and He has Marlene crawling up His ass today and FUCK MARLENE!
*checks list, cancels Guitar Hero: Golden Globes Pack download*
Having a “Best Comedy or Musical” category is like having a “Most Likely to Succeed or Commit Van Rape” yearbook entry. That’s just fucking lazy.
Having not seen Basterds yet, I may be talking out my ass here. What’s new, right? Anyhoo, shouldn’t that have been in the comedy section or are we to believe that it’s supposed to have been taken seriously?
YOU TAKE THAT BACK JESUS!
I loved Basterds, but I’m a history (yes I know it’s not historically accurate) and linguistics nerd so who knows.
I like Meryl Streep but I bet her Globes are a flop by now
I don’t know whether to be relieved or angry that ‘New Moon’ isn’t on there anywhere.
Just wait for the MTV movie awards DH.
While it’s cool that they nominate stuff like District 9 and The Hangover, it’s not enough to cancel out how shitty some of the other nominations are.
They’re going to need a dedicated mop-and-bucket team to clean the aisles at that awards show.
You know, in
IranChinaBaghdad, they lock up the Foreign Press for just this reason.No ‘Moon’. (The Sam Rockwell film)
Eff you, Golden Globes.
Fek, “The Mighty Feklahr understands we are to do cocaine now?” made me laugh.
Also, I heard Precious was kind of super awesome. And, you know, stars black people and stuff. LOL! They don’t belong in awards shows!
My nomination for shittiest nomination is Sandra Bullock in the Proposal. Anyone else care to nominate?
It always amazes me how nominations can be given to actors for movies that haven’t been released yet and are probably still being edited for their release.
DeFrank – you meant “New Moon (Twilight)”, right?
