Oh, and Robin Williams is getting the DeMille Award.

RichC2

Certainly a varied bunch this year.

Deftones

Good to see both Giamitti and Thomas Hayden Church get nods for their work on Sideways.

DRG

No signs of Passion of the Christ or Fahrenheit 9/11. I'm not complaining, just find it interesting.

Goldberg74

I didn't realize that. Very interesting indeed.

Rypro 525

surprised at no nods for roberts and law for closer as well. glad to see kill bill vol 2 get some nods, hopefully, at least keith carrodine gets a suppording nod at the oscars.

I read an article about this in USA Today a while ago. By the rules of The Golden Globes, neither film was elegible for best picture. I believe documentaries are inelegible for the best picture award and, believe it or not, Passion of the Christ is considered a foreign-language film and therefore not elegible for a best-picture award. Maybe it's not that strange that it wasn't nominated in the foreign-language catagory since the nominations are from the foreign press and they want to support their own country's films?

B.A.

Huh - the only nominated movie that I have seen is Eternal Sunshine. Obviously, I think it should win every award associated w/ it.

Rivero

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is neither a Musical nor a Comedy. Stupid morons. Good to see it nominated though.

Joe Molotov

They probably just forgot to put it in their Romantic Sci-Fi Dramedy category.

Groucho

It's not really a Drama either, so no matter where they put it it would be wrong. The good news is that it's pretty much a slam dunk in this category, whereas it wouldn't win in the Drama category.

DaveNinja

I'm surprized Timeline didnt get any nods. Where is the justice?

Mittman

Ehh, I'm not so sure. Sideways has a better chance IMO, and even Ray has a shot. It has a chance, but it's far from a slam dunk.

Jackskeleton

I dunno. Ray may actually take it. Tough choice between those two. Within the drama it's either Finding Neverland or The Aviator.

Depp has a good chance at taking best actor.

Geofferson

Clint Eastwood is on a roll.

DRG

Globes are screwy, though. Look at Carrey's two Globe wins:

Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy/Musical
for: Man on the Moon (1999)

Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama
for: The Truman Show (1998)

No real consistency here.

Scarlett Johansson - (I can't wait to see A Love Song For Bobby Long)

If she sneaks by Imelda Staunton, she just might win.

Sideways - I just saw this movie the other day. Had to drive about 40 miles to see, but it was worth it.

Closer - recognizing the supporting performances which were both much better than the lead roles.

I agree that this year is very scattered, give or take a few movies, and that is great.

Shannon Nutt

And is Ray really a musical? Is every movie about a singer a musical? To me a musical is when the story is told through song...Ray is a drama with a lot of songs in it (due to the subject matter). Anyone consider Great Balls of Fire and Coal Miner's Daughter musicals too? I didn't think so.

lwhy?

No Love for Spider-man 2.

wildcatlh

3 noms for Jamie Foxx.

Just seems weird. Not like he doesn't deserve them, but it just seems weird.

DRG

I was contemplating starting a thread about this myself. This has bugged me since the day I tried to find Purple Rain in the video store and finally found it under 'Musical'. (Although its sequel, Graffiti Bridge, probably would fit the description to a degree.)

OldBoy

that is exactly what I thought!

OldBoy

It would be nice to see Scorcese win this and then take the Oscar. I think it is his time and would love to see Depp get the actor as well!

Jackskeleton

then, smart guy, where would you put it?

Personally it's not going to stand a chance in hell in Drama and it's to off the wall to be considered in Drama to begin with. I doubt it would fit well in best actor Its best chance is in Comedy/Musical.
