But this year, just makes me laugh. The Tourist nominated for 3 awards??? You have got to be kidding me! I mean they could have at least nominated plenty of other films for Best Comedy. Here would have been my Nominations for Best Comedy:<br /><br />Toy Story 3<br /><br />Another Year<br /><br />The Kids Are Alright<br /><br />Easy A<br /><br />Scott Pilgrim vs. The World<br /><br />This one would have been a little been more interesting, than the one this year.

But try convincing the Academy that a performance that includes delivering "We Got the Clap" as worthy. Brand's persona is probably harder to improv with than, say, Bill Murray's. (This being an Apatow, you know there was at least some improv. Good thing is: Here it's as seamless as possible.

They just seem to be fillers for an awful movie, that died quickly with audiences it seems. Johnny is okay, but Burton just feels lost in all of his reliance on CGI that Mr. Depp gets dragged down too.<br /><br />But what really grinds my gears are the total lack of recognition for "Get Him To The Greek". A hilariously delight that coulda/shoulda easily of snagged a nom in the Comedy/Musical category. And by doing that totally overlooking Russell Brand's award worthy performance. Maybe he'll pull a Tomei and get out of nowhere recognition by Oscar.<br /><br />Also, where's Chloe Moretz in Let Me In? One of the best performances I have seen by an actor of any age in a long time, and she's been brushed away, despite some early buzz which fizzed down. <br /><br />What do you think Nathaniel?Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15328588663743547744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-30800285683766299092010-12-15T15:37:14.273-05:002010-12-15T15:37:14.273-05:00Very true Nathan, and when I refer to backlash I m...Very true Nathan, and when I refer to backlash I mean a lot of it comes from media outlets (which are certain to still cover the globes diligently) mocking it. In many respects I don't think the media outlets realize the power they have with things like the Oscars. Not all members of the AMPAS listen them, yes, but the names they hear the most often, the ones that stick with them the most, are the ones media outlets cover. The less attention they pay to what the Globes do, the less attention AMPAS will.Univarnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01437654003558435749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-52580244859203687812010-12-15T15:22:40.950-05:002010-12-15T15:22:40.950-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08049113750769117163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-64834787335934751902010-12-15T14:59:22.536-05:002010-12-15T14:59:22.536-05:00Graham -- all true, yes.

I'm worried already even before the SAGs go for Ruffalo .just read a disturbing piece that basically confirmed what i feel the reason is that people ignore him -- for that role... that's not a meaty role like ___ ____ ___ . He just doesn't do "bait" and his regular guys don't strike people as acting challenges even though they totally can be.NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-59813091005585175202010-12-15T14:46:27.470-05:002010-12-15T14:46:27.470-05:00This Globe backlash seems to be louder in years pa...This Globe backlash seems to be louder in years past (or maybe that's just the net amplifying things)... Personally, I enjoy the Globe show for the most part (it's fun to watch a dinner party full of famous people drinking), but I don't really take their winners and nominees seriously... And with the media harping on about the inclusion of The Tourist, it seems like the media doesn't either. <br /><br />Certainly it helps films like The Fighter and Black Swan mount serious campaigns and grab a lot of general PR, but the guilds have been much better indicators of trends within the industry for the last few years and I think will be again this year. Key nominations or snubs at the SAG, WGA, DGA and PGA will be much more telling.<br /><br />Example: True Grit missing out on any Golden Globe attention = 80 foreigners didn't like the movie. True Grit not getting WGA, DGA or SAG ensemble nod = A real problem for Paramount.<br /><br />Another example: Mark Ruffalo not getting a Golden Globe nod = Whatever. Ruffalo not getting a SAG nod = Reason to be worried.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-66759727967798856892010-12-15T14:42:45.803-05:002010-12-15T14:42:45.803-05:00I always skip the Globes.

It's great Oscar actually went for it, even though it didn't receive a globe nom. (I'd even say it's: Better than Butch and Sundance, and, therefore, George Roy Hill's best movie.

However, I'm not sure it'll transfer to wins. The globes usually get the big one or two right and then play around with the rest.Univarnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01437654003558435749noreply@blogger.com
