I think they turned out interestingly enough, though again they favored big stars...
ReplyDeleteI'm most happy for Michael Stuhlbarg, I hope this nomination builds towards bigger and better. He deserves an oscar nomination.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the nomination of Tobey Maguire could build into an oscar nomination. Although the category is stacked with competition, he's been deserving of a nomination for a long time.
You're right. Double nomination for Sandra Bullock... Robert Downey Jr for Holmes.... Julia Roberts for Duplicity....
ReplyDeleteIt's a bad habit of theirs, but they've done far worse than this year...overall they did a solid enough job, I think.
ReplyDeleteI know but that Julia Roberts nomination just stinks.....
ReplyDeleteyeah, especially over Zooey ... just stupid
ReplyDeleteI don't like Tobey in there ... besides the last scene I thought Jake actually did a better job personally
wish wild things would have cracked one of the best picture groups
I just love this year's nominations, especially the ones for Avatar...It seems that the nominees for Best Supp Actress are almost locked, I guess that everybody predicted them, myself included.
ReplyDeleteI am happy for the recognition that Emily Blunt receives these days with BFCA and GG nominations.
I think that Sandra Bullock is lock for Oscar nomination.
And last...Julia Roberts????Really??For this role, for this particular film? It seems that they didn't know with whom to fill this category.
Some weird ones but a lot of pleasant surprises in the nominations. LOVE to see Levitt, Harrelson, and especially Stuhlbarg. STUHLBARG FOR OSCAR NOM! Definitely been wanting that ever since I saw the film
ReplyDeleteI know I'm gonna get some hate for this, but I actually think that Julia Roberts is quite deserving of that nomination at this point. In fact, I think that, at this point, she deserves to be nominated for an Oscar as well. Honestly, the category is just that weak this year, but I still think she's great in the role.
ReplyDeleteWTF? "District 9" got a nomination for screenplay, though? Really? If anything, that's the weakest part of the film in my opinion.
I think it's safe to say, at this point, that Tarantino is in the game...
And now we are sure Meryl Streep is a lock for something. Also im very happy sandra bullock got some love. She is a very underated actor in my opinon. Sadly, there is not a lot of love for the lovely bones.
ReplyDeleteI think that District 9 deserves even more than a screenplay nomination, the movie was really good and also I forgot to ask you about your opinion on Emily Blunt and do you think that now she has a chance to grab an Oscar nom
ReplyDeleteOverall, I gotta say, I don't have any real complaints. There are plenty of things I wouldn't have nominated, but no egregious errors...
ReplyDeleteJeremy Renner is in a tough field...but he clearly deserves a nod over Maguire (despite a strong performance).
ReplyDeleteI didn't see Maguire messing it up, but Renner was stunning.
Oh well, everything else looked great for the Hurt Locker.
Although Up in the Air, with commercial vanity, will dominate the GGs.
Clayton Davis said: "Of these five need to make room for Meryl Streep but which one? On the surface you
ReplyDeletewould think Emily Blunt, but who knows? If she's nabs a Screen Actors Guild nomination, she's in. Mulligan is the only lock."
Did he really think Mulligan is the ONLY lock ? What about Meryl Streep and Gabourey Sidibe? Even Bullock only needs a SAG nom to get into the nominated 5.
I believe he meant that exclusive to the 5 nominees from the globes in Drama...Streep was from the Musical/Comedy section.
ReplyDeleteWhat is with the hate from Davis over The Informant!? Damon's performance was by far the best lead acting I've seen so far this year and the score was the most original/hysterical thing to come out of that movie...!
ReplyDeleteAs he wrote in his review, he didn't care for the film, so he's bound to not be enthused by awards attention for it. I'm the same way with The Lovely Bones...
ReplyDeleteI don't see how it's possible not to love the score from that movie...that's all.
ReplyDeleteThere are few things more subjective than film and music, and when you mix the two together, there will never be a consensus on anything...
