We’re a bit late in this, but the nominees for next years Golden Globes have been announced. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s awards night is generally regarded as a good barometer for the Oscars later on, so we’re watching this little shindig with interest.\u00a0 Here’s a quick rundown of who we’re watching in amongst the nominations…. Editorial comments in blue….<\/p>\n

Best Film<\/h1>\n

Avatar\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Already? This hasn’t even been released to the public yet!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The Hurt Locker<\/p>\n

Inglourious Basterds<\/p>\n

Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire<\/p>\n

Up In the Air<\/p>\n

Best Actor (Leading Role – Drama)<\/h1>\n

Jeff Bridges – Crazy Heart<\/p>\n

George Clooney – Up In The Air<\/p>\n

Colin Firth – A Single Man<\/p>\n

Morgan Freeman – Invictus\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 From all reports, Morgan’s a shoe-in for this, and probably even the Oscar.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Tobey Macuire – Brothers<\/p>\n

Best Actress (Leading Role – Drama)<\/h1>\n

Emily Blunt – The Young Victoria<\/p>\n

Sandra Bullock – The Blind Side<\/p>\n

Helen Mirren – The last Station<\/p>\n

Carey Mulligan – An Eductaion<\/p>\n

Gabourey Sidibe – Precious: Based On The Novel Push by Sapphire<\/p>\n

Best Picture (Musical or Comedy)<\/h1>\n

500 Days Of Summer<\/p>\n

The Hangover<\/p>\n

It’s Complicated<\/p>\n

Julie & Julia<\/p>\n

Nine<\/p>\n

Best Animated Feature Film<\/h1>\n

Cloudy With A Change Of Meatballs\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Seriously? Have you seen the trailers for this one?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Coraline<\/p>\n

Fantastic Mr Fox\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A genuine contender…<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The Princess & The Frog\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The sentimentality of Disney’s return to 2D animation might sway many, but probably not enough. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

UP\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Put your money on this one, although Mr Fox might be a chance….<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Best Director (Drama)<\/h1>\n

Kathryn Bigelow – The Hurt Locker<\/p>\n

James Cameron – Avatar\u00a0\u00a0 Considering he’s up against his ex-wife (Ms Bigelow) for a director gong, this is by far the most salacious and delicious contest of the Golden Globes this year!!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Clint Eastwood – Invictus\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Would be so justified in winning…<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Jason Reitman – Up In The Air<\/p>\n

Quentin Tarantino – Inglourious Basterds<\/p>\n

Okay, so we’re surprised about Avatar<\/em>, considering it’s only screened for the press so far, and is a week away from opening world-wide as I write this. But the buzz Avatar<\/em> is generating might just be enough to really give it a chance at the top gong, although personally, I hope Clint Eastwood’s Invictus<\/em> takes the prize, if only for the subject matter and sensitivity Eastwood has given this film. Plus, with James Cameron going head to head with one of his ex-wives in Katherine Bigelow, for a directors gong, we’re pretty sure the Golden Globe ceremony is going to be a great nights viewing!!! We take the view that the GG awards for Musical or Comedy is a little bit populist, a little self serving for such a serious award show, so we’ve elected to keep those nominees out of it for the moment, save the Best Picture noms in that category.<\/p>\n

In any case, this years awards season is shaping up to be a humdinger. We can’t wait!!!<\/p>\n

The Golden Globes will be held on January 17th, 2010.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
