I think I can sum up my feelings for this with one word.

Blehhhhh....

No way!!! *insert movie here* totally deserved to be nominated! I am mad! *insert name here* acted circles around *insert name here* in *insert movie here*. This is just like *insert year here* when *insert name here* was up for *insert category here* and *insert name here* won! *insert movie here* is mediocre at best and the HFPA is showing its *insert racial/ageist/tasteless insult here*. This is an outrage! And what about *insert obscure foreign film name here*? Like that was better than *insert nominated foreign film name here*! I'll bet they didn't watch *insert very high percentage number here* of the films this year! Fuck you HFPA, you *insert horribly offensive insult here*!!!

Kballs for the win.

...and I wish I had posted before Kballs shut down the whole thing. Damn you, you magnificent bastard.

I just saw Duplicity last night on DVD, and even though it was a mediocre movie, Clive Owen at least displayed charisma and charm and you actually gave a shit about his character (a small and unsatisfying shit that disappeared to the back of the bowl and made you wonder if you just imagined it, but a shit none the less). Julia Roberts, on the other hand, had dead eyes throughout the movie and phoned in her performance. Actually, that is too complementary. She faxed it in.

Fucking piece of shit awards. Why do I even bother getting worked up? Also, Chloe Sevigny is good on Big Love, but I would not say she's the best of the wives, and definitely not such a standout to warrant nomination to their exclusion.

I think West Wing and 30 Rock are the only shows that have been thoroughly lauded by Pajibans and also the weird-fucking-award-decider people.

I'm torn between Neal Patrick Harris and Michael Emerson. They are both glorious and strange.

TylerDFC, there have been massive press screenings for Nine and Sherlock Holmes. Everyone's just been barred from reviewing them until a certain date. I got away with Nine talk because I saw it before they started handing out the scary NDAs. Sherlock Holmes is just a category filler, anyway.

If "Up" doesn't win for Animated what-the-fuck somebody is getting a squirrel shoved somewhere!

SQUIRREL!

The Globes are actually better than any other award ceremony, but that's not saying much. It really isn't fair to the other nominees if there weren't enough quality products in one year, and too many in another.

What the eff? They gave Sandra Bullock two nods and couldn't even give an acting nod to Zooey Deschanel? I'm playing the Rip-Off card!

*Takes out Rip-Off Card, hands it to the Golden Globe Committee*

You've been served, my good sir.

Someone needs to go Nomad on the HFPA!

I second the love for Sons of Anarchy. It has been outstanding this year- Shakespearean even- and Katey Segal is absolutely knocking it out of the park. The fact that Charlie Hunnam (Jacks) is British makes his performance even more amazing.

Any show with half the cast of Deadwood is going to be good. I didn't even recognize Titus Welliver (delicious Adams) as Jimmy.

Now, don't get me wrong, District 9 was my absolute favorite movie this year, but does it really deserve to be nominated in a screenplay slot? I thought that in an interveiw with the director, he said that most of it had been improvised. I mean, I'm happy it got a nom, but it just seems sort of... out of place there.

I CAN'T believe this has become, for all intents and purposes, "Sandra Bullock's YEAR." that's how lackluster the entertainment at her level has become.

I wouldn't be surprised if she won the Oscar, they're really marketing her for it. This woman had become just "Jesse James' girlfriend" only two years ago.

Thank you, the omission was inexcusable.

Oh, I don't know...Matthew Morrison blew me away when Will found out about Terri's fake pregnancy. Seriously gave me chills with how angry he was. And then his crying over the phone at sectionals. I didn't think much of him before then, but dang, those were some good acting moments.

And I saw like...3 new movies in 2009 so I can't comment on the movie categories.

What the f is with all the nominations for NINE? cripes.. it's 36% on rotten tomatoes. IT'S COMPLICATED is a stupid romcom but it as Streep & Baldwin who are funny as balls.

NINE looks like a hunk of junk. Fellini could've pooped a better movie than NINE.

Yeah, the more I hear about NINE the more I think it just might suck.

This confirms it.

(Yet, I'm still gonna see it 'cause I'm DDL's bitch)

I'm also annoyed that no one has recognized Ed Helms' brilliance yet. His work as Andy is consistently outstanding. Too bad he doesn't get more to do on the show.

Sandra fucking Bullock was amazing as Leigh Anne Tuohy and DESERVES that nomination no matter how bitter people feel about it. It's a true life story represented very well. Amazing movie i must say and I cant imagine some other actress doing this movie as well as she did!

She was also really good and funny in The Proposal. There is a comedy/musical actress performance, which I dont undertand why then people have such problems for her nomination. It was one of the biggest hits of the year thanks to her!

So, CONGRATULATIONS TO SANDRA BULLOCK ON HER 2! NOMINATIONS! :D

It is inexfuckingscusable that Lost was overlooked. Not only overlooked, but not nominated OVER fucking House. Seriously, when was the last time that show was any good? I stopped watching that shit ages ago. If it wasn't for Hugh Laurie, no one would watch it. Just keep giving him the acting nods, all well-deserved, and leave the rest of the show out of it.

Sorry, end rant. On a positive note -- very pleased with the Lithgow & Bigelow noms.

Anyone else very disappointed with the early reviews of Nine being so shit-tastic? How the hell could they have fucked that movie up?! DANIEL DAY-LEWIS, people!

House? Really? House? Sons of Anarchy and Lost had episodes this season that were among the best episodes of television I have ever seen and they nominate House? I don't mind the Bullock love so much as the double nomination of Streep in the same goddamn category! The same goddamn category! I mean come on, nobody voted for Zoey Deschanel for 500 Days of Summer? Admittedly I have not seen Brothers but I cannot fathom Tobey Maguire deserving that nod over Jeremy Renner. It's Complicated for screenplay over 500 Days of Summer? Oscar will right that wrong is all I can tell myself. Best Supporting Actor TV is gonna be a whale of a fight, Emerson! Harris! Lithgow! Piven...?!?!?! Really? Still? I just hope he doesn't win.

Kballs wins. But I'm gonna moan and way.

LOST has a really good season and doesn't get a nomination, while Entourage has a really horrible season and gets a nomination (I know there in 2 different categories but still could've put in Community).

Sam Rockwell's performance in Moon? Anyone?

All I know is Modern Family better win.

Sam Rockwell's performance in Moon? Anyone?

Concur. Although I really don't see him winning (Jeremy Renner is too good), a nomination would've been nice.
