Your Golden Globe Nominations Are Here

golden-globes.jpg

This year's Golden Globe nominations have arrived, and, sorry, True Grit, but the Hollywood Foreign Press has decided you aren't a Good Grit at all. In fact, you're a Terrible Grit. The Coen Brothers' western--largely considered a safe-bet Oscar nomination in more than one category--will be receiving zero Gilded Earths this year, because it hasn't been nominated for any. Meanwhile, The Tourist, Burlesque, and the concept of Johnny Depp each have several nominations, because they might very well be the Best. Tourism Couple may currently have a 20% Rotten Tomato rating, but look at those stars! It's one of our Best Films that are either Comedies or Musicals, apparently!

Let's continue, though...
