The Dark Knight Rises shouldn't be in any of these categories . It will probably get nominated at the oscars for best visual effects, sound mixing, or sound editing.
@4000dvds2many, Golden Globes are historically more "mainstream" than the Oscars. I'm not sure if I'm just more into movies this year because of my increased blu-ray collection, or if its just because I am a big fan of some of these specific movies, but I'm pretty excited to see how these races turn out this year.
A bit disappointed in the snubs of Paranorman and Game of Thrones but overall the nominations are accurate. Maybe if TDKR wouldn't have been such a disappointment it would have been nominated as well.
All business as usual, really - apart from no Game of Thrones; which, if not seen on any shortlist of Best TV Series, is a pretty solid indicator that the world's gone mad, that up is in fact down and that black is now white.
The Master is my favorite movie of the year so naturally I'm a little disappointed that it didn't get a Best Picture(Drama) Nom. I still think it could be nominated at the oscars.
Great choices. Having a real hard time predicting winners here. Zero Dark Thirty is getting a lot of talk. Thought Day-Lewis would take Best Actor, but Joaquin was mystifying. And then there's Django, no doubt a crowd pleaser, but I doubt it can contend with true stories.
How any one can take the Golden Globes seriously, or the Oscars for that matter, is a complete mystery... It's like used car salesmen voting for car of the year or the girls at the Mustang Ranch announcing their choices for best customer...
The reason people pay attention, specifically the members who vote for Emmys and Oscars is the likelihood that more of them will actually view the ones that were nominated as compared to some obscure film/ TV show that had 1 or 2 things going for it. There's only so many hours in the day to review all this stuff so whatever is paid attention to in Berlin, at Cannes, at Aspen, by the Directors and Screen Actors Guilds is automatically more likely to get an Oscar/Emmy nomination, much more likely to win its respective categories.
