Golden Globe Nominees Revealed; What Do You Think?

The Movie God   |  @   |  

Globes

The list of nominees for the 67th annual Golden Globe Awards were announced earlier today, and you can check out the whole list below.

The Globes aren’t the most respected of all awards ceremonies (not that many…if ANY are these days), but they are good for one important thing: Academy Awards potentials. Many of the nominees and winners of Golden Globes will go on to land Oscar nominations as well, so movie fans watch with sharp eyes.

Just a glance over the list of nominees, you can see why so many people have trouble taking awards like this seriously. There’s a select group of movies that feel like they’re given these nods just because of their status and not due to their quality. These movies could in fact be the very best of the best this year — I do not know for sure — but when you see films like Nine which hasn’t even been released yet getting so many nominations, you scratch your head, especially knowing how much love musicals get JUST for being musicals. Or maybe even Avatar grabbing a massively unexpected nod in the Best Motion Picture Dramas category. Hopefully the majority of these are indeed the most deserving of the honor, and may the best films win.

Head on over to the other side to see the entire rundown of Golden Globe nominees and please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below!

One thing is for sure: with the Academy Awards set to nominate a whopping TEN films for Best Picture, you can expect to see many of these movies in that mix, and hopefully a couple of pleasant surprises.

  1. Well as with last years oscars, 99% of the nominees is pure garbage. The only decent ones avatar and Coraline, but even then we have had better movies this year wtf.

    And the tv show nominations are a complete joke.
