Dec 13 2007Golden Globe Nominations Released!
Nothing but the holiday visit to Grandma's can bring out the same mix of apathy and disappointment that comes from the annual Golden Globe Nominations. Once again, this year is the usual smattering of things you knew would be nominated, things that shouldn't be nominated, and the absence of things that you wish were. Treat yourself to the glittering, spherical ennui, under the cut.

Nothing really surprising here, except for maybe John Reilly. What were they thinking? Was there really such a shortage of good comedic/musical actors that they had to pull from this year's version of Date Movie?

Pretty much I want No Country... to sweep.
and Javier Bardem had better win best supporting actor.

I cannot beleive they left John Cusack off the ballot for Best Actor in Grace is Gone. That is a complete travesty.

Ew. I don't understand John Travolta being nominated for Best Supporting Actor.
