The popularity of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and their Golden Globes ceremony has been on a steady decline as it has become more and more evident that they favor the flashy and famous as nominees and winners over the talented and deserving hopefuls each year.

Said popularity has taken yet another turn for the worse as new accusations of bribery have come hot on the heels of the announcement of this year’s nominees, which included some fairly reprehensible names and titles as awards contenders.

The controversy mainly revolves around two particular films: The Tourist, starring Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie, and Burlesque, which stars Cher and Christina Aguilera. Both of these movies were nominated in the Best Picture Comedy or Musical category, while both also have been overwhelmed with a bombardment of poor critical reception and massive box office failure.

Sony Pictures has released the first trailer for The Tourist, which features mega-stars Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie.

The movie tells the story of a man named Frank (Depp), who while on a getaway to Italy to escape his life meets a stunning woman named Elise (Jolie). Frank finds himself attracted to Elise’s fun and outgoing personality, but it’s not long before he discovers that this is by design and that she’s using him as a distraction when an onslaught of people are suddenly trying to catch him.

Along with Depp and Jolie, the movie also stars Paul Bettany (A Beautiful Mind, A Knight’s Tale), Rufus Sewell (Dark City, Pillars of the Earth), and Timothy Dalton (License to Kill, Hot Fuzz). The Tourist is directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, who previously helmed The Lives of Others.
