I am surprised to see Annette Bening (Running With Scissors) & Chiwetel Ejiofor (Kinky Boots) nominated, but very happy for them.

Since when was DEVIL WEARS PRADA a comedy?

I didn't think it was a comedy. Someone please clarify!

Are u serious?

I wish I was goin this year.

[quote=jrs]If it was a comedy, I didn't find it at all funny. Well, some parts I did but overall, I didn't get a comedy vibe off of it.

[quote=Steve1071]Well, it wasn't Borat funny, it was more like... laugh at how ridiculous this rich, bossy woman's demands are. An-dre-ah, get me a steak, get me the new Harry Potter, get me my coffee, don't take longer than 5 minutes. Har har.

[quote=Sexy Celebrity]That's just it -- it wasn't hilariously funny. It would be like calling Borat a documentary.. it kinda is but it's not.

Johnny... It's your 3rd time for Oscar. Heartily hope you will get something back...

Huh? These are the Golden Globe nominations, not the Oscars. I seriously doubt Depp will be nominated a second time by the Academy for playing Jack Sparrow. But we'll know for sure in a few weeks.

As for his Golden Globe track record, this is Depp's seventh nomination, having previously gotten nods for Edward Scissorhands, Benny & Joon, Ed Wood, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Finding Neverland and Charlie & the Chocolate Factory. He has yet to win a Golden Globe award.

I am not seeing "Kinda a Comedy, But Kinda Not" in the list of categories...

I'm happy to see Emily Blunt nominated, she was great. I can't figure Meryl Streep getting a nod for this, except that it's a 'favorites' award. She didn't have anything especially demanding to do in that role. :/

Thilled to see Will Smith in the list and surprised at the absense of Eddie Murphy.

Review: Cabin in the Woods 8/10

I will be quite astonished if Beyonce Knowles actually gets the Best Actress Musical/Comedy award. Dreamgirls was a good movie, but Tonie Collette was so much better in Little Miss Sunshine. Which, by the way, has my vote for Best Picture Musical/Comedy. Im suprised Steve Carell wasn't nominated for his amazing role in it.

All I can say is that 95% of the Golden Globes sucked !!! I was only happy with two of the winners at the least. Sacha Baron Cohen was NOT one of them, he didn't even deserve to be nominated.

I think his acceptance speech explains why he deserved that award.
