Oscar Watch 2007: Golden Globes

And the nominees . . . are lame. Check it out. For best drama, the nominees are "American Gangster," "Atonement," "Eastern Promises," "The Great Debaters," "Michael Clayton," "No Country for Old Men" and "There Will Be Blood." That's right. Apparently, the films were so good this year the Globes couldn't limit themselves to 5 nominations. There needed to be 7! For best comedy or musical, "Across the Universe," "Charlie Wilson's War," "Hairspray," "Juno" and "Sweeney Todd."

The first thing to note, again, is that half these films have not come out yet. The second is that none of my personal favorites are listed. The third is that the Golden Globes don't pick good movies. Last year, they chose "Babel" and "Dreamgirls" as the best of the year. Which makes me think it's a good thing they didn't choose the movies I like.
