I'm surprised this hasn't been posted yet, at least not from what I can tell. Anyway, the nominations for the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards were announced today. The awards presentation, to be hosted by Ricky Gervais (The Office, Extras), will be broadcast live January 17th.
I'm fascinated that Avatar soared its way into the Best Picture-Drama category. I think that the race for Best Picture-Drama will solely focus between Avatar and Precious, with Precious being the underdog that could slide in and steal the award away from Avatar. I haven't seen either film yet so I can't comment on the quality of each, or what is more deserving. I still really want to see Up in the Air, which could sweep in and take the award from both of them. In fact, the only movies that I've seen out of the Best Picture-Drama category yet are The Hurt Locker and Inglourious Basterds, both great films however neither I think deserve merit or consideration.
I'm very happy (500 Days) of Summer crept its way into the Best Picture - Comedy or Musical category and I'm very positive that it will end up winning that award. I've only seen one other film in that category -- The Hangover -- and while I enjoyed it greatly, it pales in comparison to (500 Days).
Any thoughts on this year's nominations?
