GOLDEN GLOBES 2006 Nominations Are Released!
Hey folks, Harry here... I'm not a big fan of the GOLDEN GLOBES, but I've always liked their division between Dramatic and Comedy/Musical in their award categories. I just wish they also had a Horror/Suspense category as well. The DRAMATIC category is a little lacking this year to me. The only film there that I feel is one that I'll watch over and over - throughout the years is THE DEPARTED. I really wish BLACK SNAKE MOAN was able to qualify as it is far better than all five nominees. Alas - it doesn't get released til next year. Here ya go...

Clint gets 2 director nods? These noms can go fuck.

It's ridiculous he wasn't nominated for such a beautiful performance. It'll be embarrassing for them when he becomes a frontrunner for the Oscar.

Ridiculous.

I had hope:)
-
A brilliant film gets no nominations
-
get fucking real. the hollywood foreign press is a complete joke. but Babel is a masterpiece.
-
How did Eddie Murphy fall into the Drama catagory instead of the Musical/Comedy catagory? I thought, for sure, Sacha Baron Coen didn't stand a chance, but now he does.
-
Like a couple of blunts at Marleyfest.
-
i knew no one in the general public watched the show, but this is kind of ridiculous.
-
...NBC is just about the last place to find good sitcoms these days. Everyone else is doing Drama and Action. They're doing it well, but they're ignoring comedy. Who did you want to get nominated? George Lopez?
-
Nominating "The Wire" lends credibility to the award, not the other way around. Come on people, pull your heads out of your asses!
-
No Damon or Carrell for their movies is awful, as is the fact that the only nomination Studio 60 got was for Sarah Paulson, who is probably the weakest cast member. Writing, Directing, Perry, Whitford, Weber, they all deserved it, and hopefully the Emmys will recognize this, as it seems like awards may be what it takes to save this show. Also, Hiro does not deserve a nomination, he's fun, and enjoyable, but he's fluff, and there are much better people deserving of a DRAMATIC TV series award. The Evangeline Lily nomination IS nice though.
-
wtf?
-
... then you should. Bill Nighy, "Gideon's Daughter" - Emily Blunt, "Gideon's Daughter"
- BUT WHERE is Miranda Richardson?? The sexiest lady over 40 in the world
-
My vote is 'Imprint' every time.
-
OK, I'll admit it is entertaining in a real downer sort of way but it just doesn't have that "must-see" feel that 24 and Heroes has. In fact, the last three eps have piled up in my still-to-watch DVR list. I guess wifey and I will make a mini-marathon out of them over Christmas. TREK it ain't my boys.
-
I thought that awards could save this show too. But a Golden Globe nom for Best Supporting Actress (TV) and a Writers' Guild nom for best new series? Not gonna be enough - it would have needed to have swept the board in order to get noticed. And the Emmy nominations will come too late for renewal - unless NBC have extraordinary faith that it will win.
-
There are so many things to complain about here, it's just not worth it.
-
The movie itself gets nominated for Best Comedy, yet the actress gets the nom for Best Supporting Actress in a .... drama? How exactly does that work? LOL
-
Damn you Michael Bay...
-
I really am a big fan of Heroes, but that doesn't belong on that list. The concepts and story behind the show are good, but not best TV drama series good. Especially with The Wire nowhere to be found. It still baffles me. I can understand no Buffy back in the day or no Galactica because of the genre, but this is a cop show! The Sopranos continues to be everywhere, even after this last mediocre season. Yes, I realize this is how all of these nomination talkbacks end up, but what're ya gonna do?
-
There is NO best supporting actor or actress in a musical/comedy division. And there is no best supporting actor/actress in a drama. It's all one category for supporting roles. That's why you see Eddie Murphy and the Prada gal in those categories.
Cohen for Best Actor! Borat for Best Film!
And for the person that complained, I thought it was Ryan REYNOLDS in Half-Nelson. I least, that's what I learned from other talkbacks! Right? -
Hitchcock, Scorsese, Kubrick never one Oscars. They were just so far beyond their peers. The Wire is the same, 10 15 years from now it'll be spoken in the same breath as other greats of fiction. All good things come to those who wait.

Uh...thank goodness.
-
"... will own your ass!" , "Actually I AM a director", Stallone is 'classy', "fucktard"
-
I tried watching it. I like comics and superheroes and stuff, but I thought the writing on that show was just terrible. The acting, too.
-
but how on earth does he get a nomination for Departed? he had a fairly small role, and i didnt even remember he was in it until someone reminded me, which speaks to how much i think he stood out. additionally, i cant understand how The Wire has never been nominated for anything. what a joke.
-
But why the FUCK doesn't AICN do a frigging awards. I don't mean a huge thing, but get a sponsor or three, get some little statues of Harry's belly commissioned 'You won the Belly for best torture porn director', and have the editors and a group of selected others create the nominations, make a registration page that ensures single reg only, and then have the TB vote. It would be fascinating, and I am sure Hollywood would actually pay attention, as sad as that is...
-
Maybe it will take it winning Best Comedy for him to jump on board... come on Harold, don't be that dude... catch a fookin matinee of it for cripes sake-- you won't regret it.
-
... I doubt anyone will talk about 'the wire'.
-
Obviously I meant 10, 15 years. But hell I'd put money of 1015 years providing humans are still around.
-
for best supporting actor. He was excellent this year. His "distract the cylons speech" was fracking gold.
-
You have to be shitting me. I do enjoy the show but it easily one of the most poorly written and acted shows on TV. If it weren't for the fact that it's able to rip off much better comics and has lately pooled some talent in to plot this fucker right, does not make it the best show on tv in this or any fucking year. Battlestar Galactica is a show I'll admit I sort of dreaded but the writing and acting won me over.
-
I know that The Golden Globes are bullshit, but that performance doesn't need to be mentioned in any award show.
-
which means Harry loves justin timberlake! which means Harry is a studio whore prostitute
-
Seriously, this is regoddamndiculous. How the hell could you come up with a list for Best Dramatic Series and not mention The Wire? I know what's happening. A bunch of middle-aged, white people are sitting in a room making these types of decisions. The Wire's not really a show that any of them would watch or identify with, so it gets absolutely no respect. :|
-
decided that The Wire is going to get its recognition in the year 3021. Stick around.
-
I thought The Departed was staggeringly overrated. It played like a film student who wanted to make a Scorsese homage. Nicholson was horrible in it. Absolutely awful. He was such a clown that I never believed he was a mob boss. Which in turn made Leo's paranoia make no sense.
-
/signed
-
seriously? Beyonce for Best Actress!!?! Borat for best comedy!!?! No noms for The Wire!?! Mark WahlberG being nominated for appearing in a movie for about 15 minutes!?!? no Matt Damon!?!!
This award is a joke, except for The Departed and to a lesser extent Monster House, there really is nothing there I consider great. -
Has the bitching already commenced?
-
Pans Labyrinth, The Queen and Little Miss Sunshine were great too. AND WHERE THE FUKC IS CHILDREN OF MEN!?! That movie was EXCELLENT
-
glad that got nominated, it was a terrific movie. I know Black Snake Moan was at BNAT and everything and we are all still excited about it playing there, but there were some decent movies this year. ALSO, some things to note about these hilarious Globe nominations: Emily Blunt. It seems each year the Globes picks an up and coming young actress and nominates it for a suprise scene stealer and then nominates the girl/guy AGAIN for a miniseries movie or made for t.v. thingy. Case in point, Angelina Jolie a couple of years ago, Mary Louise Parker, etc. Another missing person is Djimon Hunsou for Blood Diamond. That guy took almost all of the critics awards this season for best supporting actor and is completely missing from the list. ALSO, not one nomination for Letters from Iowa Jima besides directing? Guareented we haven't seen it nor seen a "regular viewer" review on this site but hasn't that movie swept a bunch of critics best picture awards as well? This year, the "awards race" is really across the board. The Golden Globes is all about THE SHOW, hence trying to nominate every single big name actor alive so they can as much eye candy as possible. Fuck, Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt? Say what you want about the Oscars (cough**i hated crash too**) but they are head & shoulders better selection group than the Globes.
-
He should have been in the best supporting actor for series.
-
Here we go again... Will Eastwood steal another from Marty?

And Depp's gay pirate shit was grating in the first one
by big bad clone
and it's worse in the second as he's the focus. If he isn't in the scene, they are all asking "Where's Poochies... er, Jack Sparrow?" and he's never just Jack, Sparrow, captain, or Pirate. He's always referred to as motherfucking Jack Sparrow. Who calls people by their first and last names?
-
to get a nomination in the foreign film catagory. Two films from the US just because they don't have english in them. That's some stupid shit and excludes some fine actual foreign films that might have a chance.
-
Why the fuck Bobby got nominated for Best Picture? Did any of them actually see Bobby, as opposed to say, United 93, Brick, The Prestige, or The Proposition? What the fuck?
-
Was it snubbed because it's science-fiction? Or because it's on the Sci-Fi network? Because Heroes looks like sci-fi to me, except with shittier acting (and I DO watch Heroes!) - what a load of warm mayonnaise THIS is.
-
Last time I checked, Pirates of the Caribbean is not a musical nor would it located in any comedy section of any dvd collection/blockbuster. Nothing against Johnny Depp, I like the Pirates movies, but it's clear that they love him so much that they will nominate him for anything just for him to be there.
I love Heroes, but never in a million years would I nominate it for best drama. Battlestar Galactica is billion times better. The Globes are typically on NBC so it makes total sense that a ton of their shows and stars get nominated. Yes, BSG is owned by NBC, but Heroes is the IT show right now. The only thing the Globes are useful at is kind of predicting Oscar noms. Thats about it. -
I had no idea Johnny Depp got nominated for that awful performance...Jesus H Christ!!
BORAT was hardly offensive, it was just one joke over-stretched which was funny for about 10 minutes..there have been some fantastic movies this year, but as usual alot fo them got ignored for the big over-publicised movies......film awards have stopped being about movies and have just become ' who can grow the biggest marketing campaign'. I still cant believe Clint won a award for the God awful Million Dollar Baby which seemed like a bad Hallmark TV movie. -
Ridiculous.
A show heads above any other on TV.
If it were a novel the acclamations wouldn't come fast enough.
I hate to say it but i think alot of it has to do with the fact that most of these amazing performances aren't being put out by marketable white faces.
The Golden Globes doesn't want to give an award to Lance Reddick, J.D. Williams, Michael K. Williams, Andre Royo, or Robert Wisdom. Just to name a few members of this amazing cast.
To hell with these awards. -
Why did just three animated movies get nominated?
-
very good point about the foreign language films being nominated. The Oscars better get that right cause there are some amazing movies that are going to be left in the dust and they would wipe the floor with movies such as Bobby or Babel. Folks, if you can, check out the German movie "The Lives of Others" or "Paths to Glory". Fantastic movies that could get cockblocked by Apocalypto and Letters from Iowa Jima. Don't get me started on Bobby being in place of United 93, Half Nelson, and The Prestige. Travesty!!
-
when i worked in PR i used to have to run screenings for films that were repped by clients of my agency. the foreign press screenings were the worst because all these grubby little people would show up a half-hour early, eat all the oreos, ask me to go get more, and then blow their noses and mutter through the screenings. if people actually knew who the foreign entertainment press was and honestly how little they know about film/television/the arts in general, they would tune in to a BSG repeat during the globes telecast and do us all a favor. i hate that we even have the globes shoved in our face. what about the peer awards that honestly mean something to those who have worked hard in their fields, like the guild awards? nobody ever knows or gives a shit about them and they actually mean something.
-
Stupid Golden Globes!
-
Complete scenery chewer...I agree he wasn't in it much (which didn't ever hurt Judy Dench), but his performance was second only to Leo in that flick.
-
Sacha Baron Cohen nominated for an oscar, dare I say he wins it
-
or at least stopped at costco on my way in to work for the big barrel of red vines!
-
Yeah I enjoy watching it, but the writing and acting is sorely subpar, which makes Hiro's acting nom even more baffling. Just because he's the best actor on a cast of really bad actors, doesn't mean he should get a nomination. Any of the supporting cast on BSG deserves it more than him.
-
QUE VIVAAAA ESPAÑAAAAAA
-
When a movie like Jackass 2 doesnt make a comedy list, it sort of shocks me. Its not art necessarily, but it has its own niche and that niche is obviously big. Does anyone agree with me that Jackass Number Two should be on the comedy nominations?
-
This is a true travesty...
-
Mark Wahlberg & Beyonce. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. I think the voters got to pick my high school's homecoming court as well.
-
Is that a good thing?
-
Wouldn't that at least be more accurate? Seeing as how most of the crap that was nominated was fairly popular, couldn't they just make this a popularity award? That way they wouldn't insult people by nominating something like Grey's Anatomy or Lost over The Wire. Damn I feel bitter.
-
Damn you Michael Bay
-
...are both drama and comedy.
-
WTF is he not on there for either.
-
Most films and television shows would be nominated. Everyone has different suggestions. Evidentally, everything from The Wire to Jackass 2 to Jim Belushi was snubbed.
-
As I said before, supporting categories combine comedy and drama.
-
actually got me more excited than the best dramatic picture nominations this year. I think that's a first.
-
Perhaps you should consider change your user name to Vapid Little Whore. "trek it ain't" Bitch you must be mad!
-
I can't believe they fell for her Oscar bait role.
-
The catagory for the Golden Globes is actually "Best Foreign Language Film", which is why Apocalypto and Iwo Jima are in that category: Because they are foreign language films... not foreign films, but not in English. The Oscars' category is "Best Foreign Film," so they will be submitted probably under "Best Picture".
-
Because it'll split their votes... Expect neither to win their respective categories because of this.
-
Just wondering.
-
That is ridiculous to not even nominate it. What a slap in the face. On a lesser note leaving out V for Vendetta is pretty unbelievable too. The Globes are a joke anyway but these noms just show how irrelevant they really are.
-
I'm actually surprised to see that Dreamgirls didn't dominate with nominations; 3rd most isn't bad, but for months we've been hearing about how it's going to KILL the competition. It's telling that Bill Condon's direction and screenplay (seemingly obvious nominations) were snubbed.
Although I'm sure there's still time between now and the Oscar nomination annoucement for it to live up to it's award-slaying hype. It's got 'Best Picture - Musical/Comedy' and 'Best Supporting Actress' in the bag.
I would assume by its leading nominations that Babel will take 'Best Drama,' but I could see The Departed pull an upset. -
Yeah seriously if crap like Pirates 2 gets nods for Depp, then the GG might as well have nominated Routh and Daniel Craig (i.e. leads from GOOD genre films this year!)
-
And nods? WTF?!?!?!? Robbed. Very sad.
-
Sure it was a small part, but he was the only one who really sold his part to me, everyone else seemed to be playing "cops and robbers". I hope he gets an Oscar nomination.
-
granted, i'm in australia, and I watch most american tv by downloading it but haven't come across this one at all. Dexter should have got a nom, glad Michael C Hall is in there. But Lost... meh... I'm watching it because I want to know WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON more than actually enjoying it. Studio 60 snubbed. not that surprised, though I like teh show. But Ugly Betty? Only seen 1st ep but it didn't do much for me. It was a poor imitation of "prada", and doesn't pass for a realistic view of the fashion world, with all the ridiculous clothes the staff (especially Vanessa Williams's assistant) wears
-
Galactica deserves to be there. If it was watched by more than 2 people I suppose it would be, but it's too extreme to be on NBC so that has to be expected. Gods fucking damn it better get the fourth season. The first four episodes of season 3 were better than any other series this year and you all know it, you motherfucking cuntheads! Heroes = meh x 100. Lost is good but not good enough (despite Michael Emerson and Matthew Fox putting in fucking great turns. I think Fox finally hit the sweet spot this season, he totally deserves to be the lead). 24 was VERY good, a solid season for the first time since season 1. Sutherland is great as always and it would be good for him to walk away with it. ALL the movies nommed are shit apart from Pirates. Where's fucking Bond with a Craig nom? Isn't it eligible or something? Fuck you.
-
...amd Big Love is. Need to know more? Bullshit.
-
C'mon, they should have at least nominated Greengrass for director. That film was incredible.
-
GRIPES -
Bobby: Does not deserve any nomination for anything. The film was an overly pretentious piece of crap that had neither artistic or historical value. What in the world did the Foreign Press see in it to give it a best pic nod?---
Dreamgirls: Does not deserve a best picture nom - Musical or Drama. The film was mediocre at best and is only worth seeing for the performances of Hudson (she's better than all the hype), Murphy and Beyonce (yes Beyonce who I disliked deeply going in was shockingly very good and deserves the recognition). I have no probem with nominations for any of these 3 performances or some technical awards (costume etc.) but the best pic nominations are not warranted.---
Johnny Depp: Bah. Took a great character and made it way over-the-top unbearable. I enjoy JD immensely but boooo.---
Matt Damon: What no props for Departed?? I'd choose Damon over the scene-devouring Nicholson---
Mark Indelicato - I would have given the kid a Supporting nod for Ugly Betty. He's that good.-----
HURRAHS - Lots here. Double Leo for actor (about damn time best actor of our generation. The dude's been not good in maybe 2 films?) --- Borat --- Will Ferrell for STF (reminds me of Carrey in Truman) --- Rinko and Barazza for Babel (OK movie, great performances) --- Big Love and Lost for best Drama --- Office and Betty for Comedy (Betty is surprisingly sharp and funny) --- Baldwin, Braff, Carell and Lee for comedy actors (kudos NBC) --- Sarah Paulson, Perkins and Masi Oka in supporting. All great.
-
yet flags of our fathers I found hugely disappointing, here's hoping for a far better letters of iwo jima...
-
GRIPE - United 93. WTF Foreign Press?? Bobby but no United 93??
HURRAH - Michael C. Hall for Dexter. I can't imagine the depths an actor must plumb to play that character. THe show is hit and miss but Michael is amazing. A funny serial killer. -
I may be mistaken, but the Globes and the Oscars have slightly different wording. The Globes has Best Foreign LANGUAGE Film and the Oscars is Best Foreign Film, As numerous articles state, the Oscars require the film to be from an actual foreign country whereas the Globes just require a spoken foreign language. With Iwo Jima moved to the Foreign Category, Bobby was able to slip into the noms. If you watched the live feed of the noms you can hear the gasps when it's name was called.
-
Should have allowed United 93 in IMO. Bobby shouldn't have been on the radar or even on the same list on the same piece of paper. The movie didn't make any sense and is total garbage. Can you tell that I hated it yet???
-
i am pretty sure the rules were recently changed (just a matter of months ago) so that the oscars category will also be for foreign language films. I remember because there was speculation that and Australian film made in an aboriginal dialect (Ten Canoes) would be eligible. Personally I doubt it would get a nom and was surprised when it took out the recent Australian Film Institute awards... i was rooting for "Candy"
-
So if Hollywood produced four or five films that year, starring Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Jack Black or Jim Carrey but they are in Icelandic or any other foreign language and would be at least half decent, no actual foreign film would be nominated that year? Makes sense.
This is a good way for Hollywood to dominate the Globes and shaft those damn foreigners with their original films and great stories. -
Didn't it get bad reviews?
-
Another show, HOMICIDE, suffered the same fate by being overlooked (especially Andre Braugher) countless times by Hollywood, just b/c it was not set or made in either NY or LA. Why the bias for Baltimore?!
The WIRE being overlooked reminds me of other recent shows (SIX FEET UNDER)that really define our contemporary culture, yet are still continually disregarded by these shit awards. -
I'll be so annoyed. And hopefully more than just art design. The movie was much more than just amazing camerawork and great production design.
-
when they failed to nominate BSG?
-
always receive multiple noms at some awards shows (emmys?) or is that you're point, nominated but not rewarded.I miss that show.
-
I like a lot of those people. I'm really only concerned with The Departed this year, since I know that Apocalypto is fighting an uphill battle. It's all nonsense really but Oscar season is like the playoffs for me. It's all in good fun.
-
Kicked Ass. Well written, well acted. Best thing Guy Pierce has ever done. Nic Cave got robbed. So did BSG and EJO. Family Guy is the best comedy on tv, who cares that it's animated.
-
But mostly Lost cause Heroes is Watchmen minus a brain.
-
How do 2 American productions get nominated for "Best Foreign Language Film"? Sure, they speak a foreign language, but doesn't that shut out movies PRODUCED in other countries? That seems a little unfair. Does this mean that any film produced by a major Hollywood studio in a foreign language can now be considered foreign? Okay, lets make a science fiction film spoken only in an alien language. Does that qualify?
-
Will that be in next year's awards? I get so confused.
-
Some bad, some great, a LOT in the middle.
-
Battlestar coulda-shoulda gotten a nod for busting off New Caprica in style, sure.
But HUGH JACKMAN was in five movies this year, and while not all of them were good in my opinion, he was FREAKING FANTASTIC. Prestige and Fountain especially. Wowza. "I'm going to die" was one of the most amazing lines delivered in a movie this year.
Further, all these people in love with Departed (SCREENPLAY even?! WTF?!) can jump off a cliff. WATCH INFERNAL AFFAIRS. It's better. No, it's not as gritty. It's slick, it's smart, and dammit it works. DiCaprio was very good in this adaptation, and he should be recognized for growing up. But the rest of the film should be left in the gutter.
I guess as far as "recognizable" films go, the spread was thin pickin's. But dammit all, it was a great year for "fun" stuff. Give me MI:3 again, please!! -
None of the dreck selected is remotely "original" music. The clear choice for the Oscars should be "Til' the End of Time" Written and performed by Denver band Devotchka for Little Miss Sunshine. THAT is ORIGINAL music. Devotchka deserves some Oscar Love since the Golden Globes knows SHIT about music.
-
And now The Departed is nominated for best movie. Bullshit.
-
for Lady in the Water. That one is easily one of this years best. So was Superman Returns.
-
for Charlotte's Web

I saw children of men. I give full marks to Cuaron and his team regarding the look of the film and that long shot where he takes the kid and heads for the human project is the best thing in the movie. However, the plot is completely ramshackle, and I didnt buy the dire warning the movie gave off about the lack of children and the collapse of civilisation. The ending of the movie was a let down. It sign posted all the way to the human project or whatever it was called and then when he and the girl were in the boat it cut to the end credits. At the end of the day this film despite its attention to detail did nothing for me. Moore and ovwen should cheer up. I think alot of people were put by the coldness of the movie and its unsympathetic characters

Couldn't agree with you more about 'Letters From Iwo Jima'. I've been lucky enough to see it twice now and both times I was floored. Wasn't a big fan of 'Flags of Our Fathers', but this film was nothing short of incredible.
And could someone tell me how the fuck 'United 93' got completely ignored? And why people actually think 'Dreamgirls' is actually a decent film (made me wish I was watching 'Showgirls')? And 'Bobby' for Best Drama? I didn't know that the Golden Globes was a co-production with the Razzie Awards! -
PANS LABYRINTH is from Spain not Mexico.

Am I missing something? Not sure where Del Toro was born, but every one of his films is set in Spain, including this one. I always assumed he was spanish. Is the distributor from Mexico or something?

Baltimore is not a "sexy city" like NYC or LA. It's bullshit, Baltimore kicks ass, and people don't even realize it.
Did you ever see David Simon's rant about how NYC thinks it's the shit, when Baltimore is really way harder? It was on Season 3 of the Wire's special features. -
Totally. It's too bad some people don't expand their interest of urban cultures to other American cities, at least in tv-land. I'll have to check out Simon's rant, I didn't catch that. Thanks for the heads up.

Guillermo is mexican. The Devil´s Backbone and Pan´s Labyrinth are mexican-spanish productions.
-
The show has been so good in it's run that it's a shame it will go largely unrecognized in it's final season. Even in a down year Deadwood was one of the best things on TV.
At least I have Rome returning soon to quench my thirst. Thirteen!!
