Golden Globe Nominations

Some pretty surprising results there. I can't believe Grey's won best drama ahead of the other nominees, and Hiro definitely deserved some love.

It's also a little disappointing that the foreign language films is domninated by 2 big budget hollywood movies. I know they qualify for the category, but it usually serves as a good way to find out about foreign movies that might not otherwise have gotten much exposure.

I'm just happy that Lost didn't win. Don't me wrong, I love the show, but god damn they love to drag that shit out wayyy too much. I'm a little upset that the office didn't win the Best Television seriers - Music or Comedy. And Alec Baldwin for best performance? Come on... Zach Braff, Steve Carell, and Tony Shalhoub (especially Tony) all deserve it more than him.. that's just ridiculous.. IMO anyway...

This is why nobody takes them seriously. Dreamgirls cleaned house? Eddie Murphy over Pitt and Jack? Grey's winning, Ugly Betty (though not a bad show at all) over office, entourage and weeds?

At least House and Baldwin won.

I've never wanted to be ridiculously rich. Entourage changed all that =)

Weeds is a damn good show, Idk what the fuck people were thinking

I still strongly disagree with the Baldwin decision..

can someone please explain to me how grey's anatomy beat heroes and lost?

Ham n Cheese · 01-16-2007, 12:53 AM

Michael C. Hall should've won btw as much as I love House

Little Miss Sunshine & Thank You For Smoking > Dreamgirls
Jack Nicholson > Eddie Murphy
Heroes & 24 > Grey's Anatomy
Entourage & The Office > Ugly Betty
Edie Falco > Kyra Sedgwick
Masi Oka & Jeremy Piven > Jeremy Irons

Atleast Forest Whitaker, Hugh Laurie, and Alec Baldwin won.

And they wonder why no one watches the awards on tv

Agree with everything. Though I'd put the other 2 dramas over Grey's also. I love Baldwin on 30 Rock, but woulda gone with Steve Carrell over him. He's been just amazing on The Office for the past 2 seasons.

I just got into The Office. I've seen a few episodes from season three so I netflixed the first season. Amazing. The second season is on the way and I can barely wait.

That's actually really shitty. There's no way a Hollywood film that happens to be done in a foreign language, most likely as a lame gimmick (Hi Mel), should be allowed to compete with actual foreign productions for the award. As much as I was disappointed with Pan's Labyrinth, it should have gotten that award, no contest.

But then again, you can't expect much for an awards show that would nominate Kyra Sedgwick for best actress, let alone actually give her it. The Closer is one of the dumbest and most unbelievable cop shows I have ever watched.

Is it just me or does anyone else think The Wire is better than all those nominees.

Grimmlokk · 01-16-2007, 02:03 PM

Pretty much everyone in the world thinks the same.

Surlok TP · 01-16-2007, 05:46 PM

Happy about Forest Whitaker I have always enjoyed his performances in a variety of movies. He is a great actor and always brings alot of heart to his roles. Good to see him recognized.

Roger that, the wire never wins awards but its always a winner in our hearts.

*edit - User Ratings for "The Wire" (2002) - 9.8/10 on rotten tomatoes with 1350 votes, i'd say everyone agrees.
