The Golden Globes Nominations Are Out!
Hey folks, Harry here with the Golden Globes nominations which came out today. Frankly, these awards are some of the most annoying that get given out each year - The results sometimes echo what will happen at the Oscars. My favorite nomination on here is Terrence Howard for HUSTLE & FLOW. I really hate that Cronenberg isn't nominated for Best Director or that Viggo didn't get the nom for his role in that film. And I can't believe that terrible friggin Narnia song got nominated. Bleh. Here ya go...

makes me want to vomit -
even i didn't think the bizarre Depp worship would go this far.
-
Terry O'Quinn? He should be a Locke for best supporting actor.
-
No Cronenberg? No Vigo? Brokeback was a great movie, but so was History of Violence. I thought these two were the ones to beat - apparently I was wrong. Also - Will Ferrel?
-
She's the only Desperate Housewife not nominated for Best Actress. She must feel good about herself right about now.
-
You know... you can probably be a bigger Depp head than me without being obsessed and unhealthy... in fact, I'm very sure of it. Still, I'm a big fan, and even I thought He did a shitty job as Wonka. So WTF is this shit? Oh wait, I forgot... I hate award shows... nevermind. Peace.
-
David Tennant's performance in that was superb and shows why he's the right choice for Doctor Who. The rest of the cast were great as well. I heard that there may be a 90-minute special next year, but this could just be a rumour.
-
Still this stupid obsession with Desperate Housewives. Lauren Graham in Gilmore Girls, Kristen Bell and Jason Dohring in Veronica Mars- no love whatsoever. At least Zach Braff got nominated, even if Scrubs didn't. And I'm afraid that show is in the process of jumping the shark. Which, of course, is probably when they'll suddenly remember to give it awards. Ech.
-
Am I imagining that there's a show currently in production on the WB called "Gilmore Girls"!?!?
Do Lauren Graham and Kelly Bishop exist!?
I wish I could market those drugs I'm taking that's making me hallucinate all of this!
Eva Longoria, my ass! -
because shes a winner...
-
not really, but when compared to Arrested Development in terms of comedy, it most certainly is.
-
I mean the year's not even over yet, and if the noms are out now, that means they started the voting on the noms what, two weeks ago, a month ago? Had they even seen movies like Kong or Munich at that point?

by colonel_blimp
Goes to, big surprise. Gus. Van. Rant.
-
It was just called Blackpool when it was on in the UK, and it's kind of about how Blackpool is slowly trying to become the British Vegas (hence the added 'Viva' title). It's great, it's serious drama then it just breaks into a song and dance number. Great performances all round.
-
Anyone notice the disappearance of Syriana and Munich? I'm glad Terrance Howard got noticed in a field of a lot of great male performances this year. Also, I'm glad the Squid and the Whale got noticed. Great. Also, Will Ferrell? I haven't seen Match Point, but I'm definitely looking forward to that. Oh, and Brokeback Mountain was the best movie released this year, by far. I've been haunted by that movie for a week now.
-
Gun Van Rant - I could respond to your imaturity, however the best revenge is to live a good life. Someone as angry as you clearly has, and will have, a miserable life. Too bad.
-
What no Ian McDiarmid for Best Supporting Actor? Once again SW get's ignored, typical!
-
Fat Clooney is in! Fat Clooney is a lock.
-
Well, he doesn't really want to talk about movies; just say a bunch of stuff that most of these talkbackers have already worn out on this site. Oh well. That is kind of funny that the entire cast got pegged for noms. but Sheridan. Sucks for her. Felicity Huffan is having a great year. Good for her.
-
No Shatner or Spader? Bergen is good, but, the Larry King Live bits with Shatner alone should get him a nom.
-

by minderbinder
Priceless.
-
"Am I right haters or am I right?" God that shit was lame. Thank you for sparing the talkbacks from that bullshit...now we gotta get on those fags who use "nuff said"
-
the GG's always betray in the second season...same thing happened with THE SHIELD. And yes, the absence of MUNICH and KING KONG in the best picture lineup is foreshadowing of things to come...I love debating this useless shit too. Prison Break?? Depp as Wonka??? Pierce Brosnan? This is the most entertainment I've had in awhile. I'd like to THANK the Hollywood foreign press for the laughs.
-
where the hell is the nom for ciarin(sp?) hinds or any of the other actors for "Rome", whose names escape me? they acknowledged polly walker and the show itself, but nothing for actor(male).
-
What a line-up. I doubt that America will be all gung-ho and rooting for any of the films nominated. Welcome to the suck.
-
This is not sarcastic.
Keep up the good work.
I love to see people made

Why are there so many? For less than 3 percent of the population, Hollywood makes it seem that 1/3 of all people on earth are gay. (That's really bad math: 33.3 percent vs. 3 percent?) Anyway, I saw Brokeback Mountain and think it is pretty good. I wasn't angered, shocked, or aroused when they started their sex fest ... because get over it, gay people commit such acts from time to time.
But it's getting awards not because it breaks down barriers or is really a great romance ... it's about a bunch of asses who lie to their wives and whine about injustice because they are too cowardly to take a stand when it matters most. And we're supposed to think they're great gay role models. B.S. ... and rewarding this movie for that kind of crap makes it apparent that this gay agenda conspiracy theory has wheels.
By the way, the characters aren't really gay, but bi-sexual, because in the true since of the word, homosexuals can't and won't engage in sex with people of the opposite sex. (That's why only about 2% if not less are really gay! Do we really need to make a big fuss over gay movies with such a small percentage of the population? Really. C'mon! It'd be like having someone with hemophilia as a minor character in every movie and tv show!) -
I think "Corpse Bride" was a great score. And no "Broken Flowers" nominations?
-
I swear to God, if Cronenberg's latest film does not get more respect at the Oscars than it did with the Golden Globe nominations, asses will be kicked.
-
I thought that the 4th season of '24' was excellent. And they disregard this show in favor of 'Prison Break' and 'Commander in Chief'? Granted, PB is/was fun, but it's not in the same league as '24'. And I personally don't care for CiC. And where the hell is 'Deadwood', for that matter. At least 'Rome' is in there. Still, these are only for the Golden Globes, so who really gives a shit?
-
I agree with the complaints over the Desperate Housewives overkill. What about Jaime Pressly's Joy on My Name is Earl? She's hilarious and what a great character study! Echo the 'where's the love' for Veronica Mars. Can't imagine why it hasn't been recognized. Angel_svn, for the most part I'm going to ignore the utter stupidity of your comments (your definition of homosexuality is so laughably inaccurate that it's not funny - and yes, we're being attacked by the gay conspiracy! Watch out!) - I'm just hoping Mattchew's around to take a shot at you.
-
Don't judge me.
-
i'm all for more hemophiliac characters (the easily bruised are way under-represented), but what a weird comparison to draw. hemophilia isn't exactly a hot button topic in the world at large. relax chief, they're not taking over the world or anything.
-
I hope everyone realizes that this show is the Melrose Place of its time. In three or four years, everyone will make fun of it, and you won't be able to find anyone who admits to having been a fan of the show. DH = Crap. It will lose the support of the "urban fabulous" soon enough and without the cachet of metrosexual trendiness it's just another shitty show, and not an "event" - and the show will survive after that for about a day.
-
Fat Clooney will own every last Golden Globe.
-
save it for the midnight runs with ther boys from the YMCA. Put Munich or Kong up there. How did Munich get nods for best director and screenplay and not get one for picture?
-
It's an anti-semitic plot....discuss.
lol -
An Israeli consul-general called the film "superficial" and "pretentious" and Jewish writer Jack Engelhard says he's "no friend of Israel." I've always thought that he was pretentious since Hook, but now I know he's anti-semetic. He should have to take his foreskin back.
-
i'm happy that the saddest articles and the ones who mean the least (and i don't mean obituaries) mostly get the funniest, weirdest and dumbest TBs. rivercb's answer is the best proof.""Why didn't BSC Tom Cruise get nominated for 'Asshole Of The Year'?!?!"" is my favorite comment so far. i just came back from watching the war of the worlds bonus stuff. every single second cruise is interviews it's just incredibly pretentious and artificial, it's really silly. but this TB's really funniest headline IMHO is^"STAR WARS SNUFFED AGAIN"". i love this TB AND cannot decide wether to love or hate the globes or academy awards. because in all their nonsense awarding, they are just setting the ground for wonderful hilarious and pointless debates, humiliating political debates in this TB-

by r.c. the "wise"
They try to make due by nominating mostly large stars in the acting categoy while only recognizing a few actors in the films they've nominated.
I mean, WTF. Viggo and Naomi got screwed. If you can have 6 guys nominated for best actor in a comedy/musical, then why aren't there 6 men/women nominated for best actor/actress in a drama.
Where's KONG, Munich, Crash, Syrianna, Cinderella Man, Jarhead, Memoirs of a Geisha, and Batman Begins in best Drama. That's right. I said it Batman Begins; it deserves some recognition besides technical consideration.

No 24? No Deadwood? What a joke the GG's are.
-
1) Will Ferrell is actually surprisingly great in THE PRODUCERS; 2) Although William Hurt should be in that spot for HISTORY OF VIOLENCE; 3) I love PRISON BREAK, but I also love me some 24 and DEADWOOD. Where'd they go?
-
I don't even need to say it. (But where the f*ck is it?!)
-
haven't even thought about that! And what a great final season that was! That should at least throw one of the cast a nom. I think the Globe nominations for t.v. are all about the next big thing. Remember, they always have given it to the next rising starlette; Jennifer Garner, Clarista Flockhart, nom. for Jessica Alba(?). I think the Emmys will give it a boatload of nominations.
-
So a major jealousy fight breaks out and they claw each other to death.
-
obviously the show got snubbed (Prison Break, Rome? fuck off..) but McShane deserves to be nominated for seasons that haven't even happened yet, and who's gonna tell me Powers Boothe isnt the most underrated castmember of this show? He owned this past season; other than McShane, no one growls Deadwood's complex dialogue as eloquently and entertainingly as Cy Tolliver (just hope he sticks around for season 3 after gettin stabbed by a preacher man)
-
Where's the love for Arrested Development? Jason Bateman wins for best Actor last year, not even nominated this year? I think they've made a huge mistake.
-
is that the Funke guy is a lock for his award. His performance as Conman #2 was incredibly moving.
-
no doubt they meant "Palestine." BTW it's called fuckin' "ISRAEL" now... sorry, morons, but your antisemitism can't stop history.
-
wtf King Kong gets a nod for best score but there isn't any love for EP3's score? what a sham.

Between having no Sci-Fi/Fantasy category (they have Musical/Comedy for fucks sake), and the 'embracing' of Bareback Mountain ... they can FUCK OFF. It was only a matter of time until Hollywood tried to make that shit mainstream. Just keep 'forcing it down their throats' until they give up. If Bareback does gangbang ... oops, gangbuster business, they have won.
-
some good nominations here. Particularly Zach Braff, Marie Louise Parker & Jeremy Piven.
I think that nominating all 4 of the desperate housewives is beyond a joke. Stick to 1 or 2 people per show, otherwise its just ridiculously stupid. -

Lamerz, that first post was blatantly bigoted. Not so good here.
by lenny nero
Movies can be the best picture but not the best directed. Ever thought about a screenplay? I take you back to 1998. "Shakespeare in Love" was a better picture than "Saving Private Ryan," but "Ryan" is a much bigger, more important project. Problem is, the script is pretty stale in retrospect. But hey, those weren't my favorites those year. Those would be "Elizabeth" and "Thin Red Line."
Besides, don't you think "Aviator" was better directed than "Million Dollar Baby"? -
Shakespeare in Love was a decent movie. That's it. Saving Private Ryan was definitely the best film that year. Spielberg got screwed. Oh, and are you telling me that Hollywood is not trying to make gay movies mainstream? Yes, as a matter of fact they are. Maybe the jokes were out of line ... but damn, get a sense of humor. See the quotes around some of the phrases? Ever heard of a play on words? People are too freakin serious. Actually I can't take credit for the Bareback Mountain one ... that was on the radio this AM.
-
Poor man's Oscars and Emmy's. In fact, all of those awards shows are self-aggrandizing bullshit. And I stand by the no Sci-Fi/Fant category sucking hard.
-
...don't even get started on the bigoted shit. With all of the VISCIOUS, hateful, and very serious comments I read about conservatives every day on the web, and many times right here in these talkbacks. The jokes above were just that. Jokes. Some of the comments i read on talkbacks here are far worse than anything I've ever posted, whether it be about conservatives, liberals, gays, blacks, hispanics, whoever. So get off the high horse.

What a rip!!! Two of the best films of the year right there. Now mind you I haven't seen KONG yet, but... At the moment I can't think of a 2005 film I enjoyed more. And I've seen a lot of the current noms. Most are independent films that really can't compete in the same way the big blockbuster's can. However, those films measure up with what they don't have with performances from mostly stellar casts. That said, performances included, BATMAN BEGINS and SIN CITY were made by very passionate film makers. And that shows through. These films represent some of the best of the year, and they should be up there in votes. All this year-end bullshit needs to stop. I think it likely they're getting snubbed because voters have ADD.

You can call anything "that shit". I didn't say the gay lifestyle was shit, even though I do not agree with it. I said Hollywood was trying to make it mainstream. I can come out of Episode III and say "that shit was dope." Not a personal attack on George Lucas, not an attack on Star Wars geeks. Don't take things out of context. If I wasn't clear enough, my bad. Oh, and since you had to point out the word "think" to me, and yes I did see it, you did not use it in your post stating as a fact that Shakespeare in Love was a better film than SPR. Apparently when I state my opinion that Spielberg got robbed, I am attacking your opinion and holding you down. Yes, I know that is what you THINK, I stated what I THINK as well. Get over it.
-
it is slowly but surely making it's way into theatres. Heard nothing but good things about it. I agree with Batman Begins and Sin City not getting any love. Hell, award shows shouldn't be listing "best" of anything. History proves that some of best movies ever made didn't win that many Oscars as opposed to, let's say, "Out of Africa" or "Ordinary People". We could list a lot. What was my point? Oh, yeah, I'll still watch the Globes. It's a guilty pleasure of mine. Plus, this is America. We need a "best" and "biggest" of everything.

I still object to the "Hollywood trying to make it mainstream," because IT is not anything, but I think we understand each other now and don't have to yell. I will add "I think" to the "Shakespeare in Love" comment earlier, apologize, and leave it at that. Finally, this response would have been more cordial if you didn't throw "Get over it" at the end of your tb. Kind of combative, no?
-
I don't really think you're supposed to think that, angel.
They're two flawed characters who are so much a part of the society that they live in that they cannot ever be what their feelings tell them they are, resulting in the destruction of both their own lives and their families. That's the stuff of most great love stories. Most of them are about people who face obstacles in the path of their love. -
Joaquin and Witherspoon, the two I was pulling for, are put under "musical or comedy"? Are the Golden Globes run by semi-intelligent chimps? Holy Bullshit. This is one royal, mothercunting fuckup. Someone needs to get shot in elbow for this.

What? Oh, nevermind.

That's actually the point of the whole movie. What angel says is true in a sense, but he/she must of read of short summary of the movie. Gay conspiracy? Hah! Scary!

"Why are there so many? For less than 3 percent of the population, Hollywood makes it seem that 1/3 of all people on earth are gay. (That's really bad math: 33.3 percent vs. 3 percent?)" How are you determining that? There's like, what, 3 gay movies this year? Out of like, what, 200+? That's less than 3 percent from what I can tell. And in those movies, the gay characters are definitely portrayed as the minority of society, so to say that these few gay movies from Hollywood are making it seem like 1/3 of the population is gay is not only ridiculous but extremely paranoid. Hollywood also made a "fuss" over the Holocaust during the year of Shindler's List and how many people were directly affected by that? Far less than 3 percent I'm sure (Yes, Jews only make up about 2 percent of the population). "By the way, the characters aren't really gay, but bi-sexual, because in the true since of the word, homosexuals can't and won't engage in sex with people of the opposite sex." Hmmm this is a naive way of thinking about it. I know plenty of homosexuals who have had sex with the opposite sex when they were younger because they were confused or could not accept that they were gay. In a society where you're taught that homosexuality is not normal, it's not surprising that a lot of gay people try to deny their feelings and try be straight (including having sex with the opposite sex) in order to be "normal". And in a movie like Brokeback, which takes place in the 60's and in Wyoming, it makes perfect sense that these guys would marry women and have children because being gay simply wasn't an option.

Are people crazy? There is no gay conspiracy going on in Hollywood. Can people accept that Brokeback has a trememdous cast with great acting, an amazing screenplay that was adapted from a short story, and Ang Lee directing pitch-perfect. Oh, did I mention the photography? There is a simple reason why this film is getting awards! I'm sorry to rant, but c'mon, Pongo! See it first, you won't be brainwashed, I swear!
-
It's a love story. The fact that they're cowboys (and gay, for that matter) is beside the point. Everyone should just stop offering their expert opinions until they've actually seen it. Not that that's stopped anyone before.

That's one of the few times the oscars got it right. Go watch Shakespeare again, the screenplay is absolutely brilliant.

it's a shame too. It's a great movie. And, it isn't just a gay cowboy movie. To SIMPLY say that it is is plainly OBVIOUS from the trailer, but STUPID to say because it's more than that. It's actually more suprisingly strait than gay. But, you have to SEE the movie to understand. The two people that have said it haven't seen it. How does that make sense? Anyway, I'm out of here and done advocating. Can't change everyone's minds. But, if you have SEEN THE MOVIE, I'd like to hear your comments on how it is simply just a GAY COWBOY MOVIE. Please, enlighten me. Otherwise, you're null and void and I'm out of here.
-
Until then, blow it out your ass. The homophobia around here baffles me. I've never understood why the most homophobic people are invariably the same ones who can't get any chicks to so much as look at them. And yet, their excuse for hating homos (as they so eloquently call them) is that, "I don't them hitting on me". As if there's a line around the block to go out with fat, underemployed losers. And yes, Gus, that means you. And don't come back at me with tales of your hot girlfriend and killer pad. EVERYONE on the internet has a hot girlfriend and a killer pad.
-
And as for Brokeback Mountain, check out Armond White's review, who about summed it up right. I heard the writer's of that movie on the radio the other day, they sounded so smug and self congratulatory. Alot like everyone else involved in the movie. There are alot of way better movies out there already depicting similar themes. They're just getting free publicity because it's gay cowboys. A premise which they stole from South Park I might add.

Um, and which movies would those be? And when did you see Brokeback Mountain in order to form this opinion? See the movie, people. Really. It won't make you gay. I promise.

Let's see the movie first and then come back and debunk it. Most people who are bashing it, like Armond White, have crackpot theories that his colleagues(critics) are only praising this year's movies because of their political agendas. So, he must write an article about how mostly every movie that came out this year is some conspiracy to act "smug" and more "smart" than it really is. These things have nothing to do with the movie itself and the craftsmanship that went into making it. Garbageman is acting reasonbable if you ask me. Who has seen this movie yet? Brokeback isn't "groundbreaking" like some call or a "gay" call of arms. It's just a very emotional, heartwretching movie that is made very well. If you have seen it and don't like it because of reasonable opinions, then so be it. I respect that.
-
Gus, I seem to recall you're the one who said I had my head up my ass and then made a snide comment about my boyfriend. I'm straight, by the way. But I always love a good homophobe who thinks the worst thing you can say to someone is that he's gay. Like I'm supposed to curl up in the fetal position for the rest of the afternoon because some random asshole insinuated that I might like men. Grow up, dude.
-
Right, so let's just forget about all the hundreds of gay films out there that never got a nomination and then maybe that theory will hold some water. "Sorry, but if "Brokeback Mountain" was about a cowboy and his girlfriend, it wouldn't be nominated for any awards." LOL this is funny too. If "Brokeback Mountain" was about a cowboy and his girlfiend, it would be a completely different movie so what exactly is your point? That's like saying if Shindler's List was about the murdering of an anthill in Africa instead of Jews, it wouldn't have been nominated. Umm yeah because it would be a completely *different* movie! Every best picture winner was about straight people in straight relationships, and yes maybe if you look hard enough there might even have been one about a cowboy and his girlfriend. So again, what is your point?
-
just because it has music in it, then 99.9% of all movies are musicals. Walk the Line isn't a musical...it's a movie with music in it. There's a difference. And IMDb lists it as a Drama.
-
What is wrong with Hollywood Foreign press? At least they got A History of Violence nominated. Does this mean The New World is going to campaign extra hard at Oscar time?
-
Has anyone heard anything about The New World? Terrance Malick? That's the type of movie that you think has Award written all over it.

Let me rephrase: it has music that is not score or soundtrack, but actually a central focus on the action. So yes, it is still a musical.
Wait! It says biography/drama/music on the imdb entry. Ha! -

And Sayhey, where did you get your definition of "musical"?
by lenny nero
"Phantom of the Paradise" is a musical, but nobody breaks out into song. Everything fits into the plot in a real atmosphere (i.e. recording sessions, concerts, music videos, etc.). A movie with music in it in the way I rephrased it does consider it a musical/comedy. "What's Love Got to Do With It" did it years ago, why not this one?
