Golden Globes

The Golden Globe Nominees were announced today, and for once I think every nominee I expected was on the list (well I mean I think Gael Garcia Bernal was phenomenal in Science of Sleep but I also knew he wouldnt get nominated.) But both Brad Pitt, and the Hispanic lady in Babel were nominated....thank goodness. Aso Borat was nominated for best comedy as was Sacha Baren Cohen. Little Miss Sunshine got some nominations as well as the breathtaking Penelope Cruz in Volver. Weeds and Grey's Anatomy were also on the list.

Points of DissaPOINTment:

Apocalypto was nominated as a best foreign film. (YUCK, A stupid racist movie., or so I read in reviews....we'll see.)

Beyonce was nominated for Dreamgirls, which I hear is a great film and I can't wait to see it, but I also heard from Justin how her part in the original cut was smaller, but they wanted to make her into a nominee and seem like a lead actress so they extended her scenes even though jennifer hudson had the larger role, and the fact that Hollywood PR people could actually affect something like the Golden Globe nominations is rather upsetting though to be expected.)

And then America, the girl not the country, gets nominated for Ugly Betty, yeah yeah, I watch the show, it's cute, and cheesy, and has some greta actors like the girl who plays her enemy, and her boyfriend and her sister, but I think she's , well and "...
-eh" kind of actor, but I am VERY hard on her because when I have an agent she'll be my competition, and her nomination REALLY makes me want to get off my butt and get one ASAP before she goes and wins that thing. Yes, I admit I am childishly jealous. I am sure she's a nice girl.

I actually saw Apocalypto last weekend. Don't listen to the critics. It's not racist at all. It's brilliant, and there's more in there than it seems. Just go with an open mind and experience it for yourself. And brace yourself.
