Excited for Viggo! and Eastern Promises! great film...glad it got some love.
ReplyDeleteHappy for the Great Debaters it is a good film.
ReplyDeleteViggo and EP are huge surprises!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat for "Eastern promises". Bad for "Into the wild". Intersting year... No one is a real frontrunner...
ReplyDeleteFor Actor we have:
Day-Lewis, Depp and Clooney; Mortensen, Hirsch, Langella, Gosling and Hoffman; McAvoy, Hanks, Jones, Pitt, Leung and Washington
For Actress we have:
Cotillard, Christie and Page; Blanchett, Jolie, Knightley, Adams, Bonham Carter and Linney; Foster, Wei, Posey, Miller and Kidman
Where is Once? I knew it would get a Best Picture nomination but at least, it deserved a Best Song nod! Fuck the Globes
ReplyDeleteHuge boost for Eastern Promises/Viggo and The Great Debaters. Julia Roberts also gains a lot of momentum as she was pushed behind in the supporting actress race. It is surprisng that 7 films were nominated for drama and Into the Wild wasn't one of them!!!
ReplyDelete7 movies for best drama?? The great debaters??? Ridley Scott nominated instead of pt anderson, sidney lumet, david cronenberg or marc foster????? And where is Laura Linney???? Where is Once????Where's Into the wild??? And nominating Denzel for Great Debaters instead pf American Gangster??? Please!!!! Emile hirsch should be there!
ReplyDeleteThe globes are getting more and more ridiculous...
At least there was some love for Eastern Promisses. I hope that helps Viggo's chances for an oscar nom, he really does deserve it. Definitely the best male performance I've seen this year, I don't understand why it's being ignored this way...
I agree (mostly) with the fellow above me. Ridley Scott and American Gangster being nominated is a joke. The fact that Scott is there over PTA is disgusting. And I know that The Assassination of Jesse James is far, far, far too GOOD to be nominated for best picture, but the fact that Ridley Scott's piece of shite got there...well, it blows.
ReplyDeleteOh well, at least Easter Promises got some love. Glad to see Christie wasn't forgotten. Disappointed that Knocked Up didn't get a best pic comedy nom. Gotta say I'm shocked at the Into the Wild snub.
Overall, they're disappointing as usual, but big cheers for Page, Viggo, Gosling, Hoffman, Bardem, AFFLECK, who gives the best male performance, supporting or otherwise, of the year.
I'm very excited for Depp, Carter, Burton and Viggo. About time Viggo got some attention snd hopefully Depp will finally win the GG. It's sad about Linney though.
ReplyDeleteSadly, Knightley is back in the race, she'll likely win this, but I still hope it will be Christie.
What exactly does Christian Bale have to do to get some love these days?
ReplyDeleteAnd, I sure hope that the Great Debaters is better than both Gone Baby Gone, Zodiac, and 3:10.
Viggo all the way!!!
The Golden Globes always gets things half right. Don't worry, the oscar voters will sort it out. Christian Bale and Josh Brolin must be thinking 'Man. what else can I do?'
ReplyDeletePrecursor Awards?!? They nominated EVERYTHING! 17 films are up for some kind of Best Picture Award. If your hoping for help in the office pool, forget it. Remember they're just 75 half-drunk European fan magazine writers.
ReplyDeleteI am very dissapointing in the nods this year in many ways! "Into the Wild" got snubbed on so many categories! I was gonna be really upset if it didn't get nominated for Best Song though but glad to see it got a nod there. And again disapointed in Linney getting snubbed as well....
ReplyDeletewhere is Once! huge musical fan so very pleased with Sweeney and Hairspray nods but Once was an amazing film that deserved to be recognized.
ReplyDeleteGood for Sweeney Todd, No country for old men, Cate Blanchett and Eastern promises
ReplyDeleteIntersting for Charlie Wilson's war (I didn't see it) and Jodie Foster (Excellent performance in a bad film)
bad for american gangster, Keira Knightley (For me, a horrendous actress), Michael Clayton (Good but not great)
sunubbed: Two Jennifers (Garner and Jason LEigh) Into the wild (And Emile Hirsch)!!!, Tang Wei or Naomi Watts instead of Keira Knightley (both are great), Sam Riley, Keri Russell, Tony Leung, Laura Linney!!!
YAY for American Gangster & The Great Debaters it was an excellent film. EFF the damn haters.
ReplyDeleteJjJames the Assasination of Jesse James is a piece of Shit look at the reviews. NUFF SAID.
ReplyDeleteDenzel got nominated for American Gangster not The Great Debaters.
GO Keira & Atonement
OMG! Shakira is a Golden Globe nominee!
ReplyDeleteInto the Wild was robbed.....
ReplyDeleteIt has been doing too well with other precursors...easily a top 5 movie of the year...and Hirsch should be there too. Even though Debaters and Promises were nominated, they have no shot at an oscar nod...and in all honesty Gangster's buzz is fading fast.
Let's be honest here..both Bale and Brolin can do a lot better. They're both great actors who haven't at all peaked yet. But their performances in 3:10 and No Country can't touch the 5 nominated for best actor drama let alone snubs like Hirsch, Lee Jones, and Cusack. They'll have their time.
ReplyDeleteSome of you people make me sick. EVERYTHING IS BASED ON OPINIONS OSCARS< CRITICS >PERFORMANCES. WHATEVER. IF you don't like a film fine , but there are others who do. Saying something is undeserved is very IGNORANT because it is NOT A FACT. ART IS SUBJECTIVE & I think you guys forget that sometimes.
ReplyDeleteDenzel got nominated for AMerican Gangster ( which I liked BTW) Not The Great Debaters. I 'm more surprised at Across the Universe being nominated.
ReplyDeletesurprised crowe wasn't nominated for best supporting actor :) and what happenend to before the devil knows your dead! that was a great film.I think they gave 2 many nominees for best picture
ReplyDeleteWhere the hell is Laura Linney, and why is The Great Debaters nominated? It is so mediocre....and I'm also angry that Travolta got a nomination...Hooray for Atonement, the best film of the year...and one more thing...Ratatouille should have been nominated for best score instead of the awful scores of The Kite Runner and Into the Wild. And Bee Movie? Get a life!!!
ReplyDeleteHOORAY for Jolie! Her finest performance, I hope she wins it.
ReplyDeleteAlso hooray for Cate and Im Not There - a definate winning performance.
I just wish Laura Linney had been nominated
Oscar Igloo didn't do so bad with its predictions, not many sites were predicting Across the Universe (big surprise) and Love in the Time of Cholera for Best Original song. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI was extremely upset that there was no song nomination for Once. WTF?
ReplyDeleteI was thrilled for Viggo and Eastern Promises, but sad that Cronenberg's been criminally ignored all along. It always puzzles me when the voters pick a picture but not the director. Do they think the actors directed themselves and the film just came into being magically? Jeez.
But Viggo really has been getting back into this race, which I'm glad about. My fingers are crossed for a nomination for him. I hope the Academy doesn't snub him once again.
Some bad picks of course. In many cases they shamelessly went for star power over a deserving performance. So it goes.
no Bale/Crowe- wtf
ReplyDeleteno linney for sup. act- wtf
no Once for picture/music- wtf
across the universe for best pic- WTF
Its a sin that neither "Into the Wild" nor "3:10 to Yuma" were nominated for picture and actor categories. John Travolta? In my opinion that was the WORST performance of the year! Im upset "The Great Debaters" got nominated for best pic, and i'm very surprised "Walk Hard" was nominated. That looked like an awful movie to me. And wheres PT Anderson?
ReplyDeleteHappy for Viggo and EP, and also for Affleck's performance in "Assassination..." At least the Globes got something right.
my biggest surprise was across the universe in the best picture category...really siked for no country though that movie was amazing javier bardem has gotta win best supporting actor.
ReplyDeleteNot George Clooney again ~ He already got his award. Also disappointing to know that Sean Penn, Hal Holbrook, Keri Russell and Adrienne Shelly were overlooked. Although, I'm happy for Viggo!
ReplyDeleteMagnific song by Shakira. I hope she win. She deserves this and the Oscar!!!
ReplyDeleteVery bad for Emile Hirsch and Brad Pitt. Both actores are amazing in their performances, more than George Clooney (He's good but not great)
Why no love for Laura Linney????
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to Laura Linney's nomination???
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for In the valley of Elah & Things We lost in the fire both with great performances,but bad b.o. killed their chances!
ReplyDeleteWhy is everyone so obsessed with Laura Linney?I haven't seen the performance just as many of you...
I'm also glad for Eastern Promises,Atonement & Cate Blanchett.
I don't support Amy Adams-Enchanted!Come on!
