68th Annual Golden Globe Awards Nominations
By Russ Fischer/Dec. 14, 2010 5:50 am EST
The nominations for the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards were announced this morning, with announcements by Blair Underwood, Josh Duhamel, and Katie Holmes. The Social Network, The King’s Speech and The Fighter scored a handful of nods each. But where’s True Grit, which came up with nothing? If nothing else, walk away from this nomination list with the knowledge that The Fighter is a far stronger awards contender than anyone credited it with being just a couple weeks ago. The full list is after the break.
Despite a general sense that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is a mostly useless, self-serving organization, the HFPA’s Golden Globes awards remain an important event. They’re considered a semi-useful bellwether for the Oscar nominations and, in fact, last year’s Golden Globes predicted 18 out of 20 acting Oscar nominees. That’s in part due to the fact that the Globes nominate more actors, as dramatic and comedy/musical categories are honored. Speaking of useless: there are three major award nominations in comedy/musical categories for The Tourist. Guess the HFPA didn’t see Scott Pilgrim or Get Low (funnier and more life-affirming than anything else on the list) or Four Lions. The comedy/musical best picture category is supposed to reward jokes; it isn’t supposed to be one.
The Fighter has a stronger presence than Inception which is a slight surprise; no shock, however, that The King’s Speech and The Social Network each scored major nominations. Very cool that Emma Stone got a Best Actress (Comedy) nod for Easy A. But where’s the Best Picture (Comedy) nod for that film? Most of her fellow nominees represents more HFPA pandering. What, you want Annette Bening, Anne Hathaway and Angelina Jolie to show up at the awards ceremony? Throw ’em some nominations in the comedy category! The Golden Globe Awards will be handed out on Sunday, January 16, in a ceremony hosted by Ricky Gervais. Here are the major award nominations for film-related categories. All the TV nominations can be seen on the HFPA website.
