If you heard a high pitch squeal yesterday morning that you weren't sure where it was coming from, it was probably me when I realized that the Golden Globe nominations were announced yesterday. The Golden Globes signals the beginning of the award show season. I love award shows. I am not sure why, I just do. I especially like the Golden Globes as they break the movie categories into Comedy/Musical and Drama. Comedic films tend to not get the appreciation they deserve in other award shows. That is a shame.
There were several things that excited me about this years nominations. They include:
1. Sandra Bullock gets 2 nominations - Sandra Bullock is nominated in the Best Actress in a Comedy for The Proposal and Best Actress in a Drama for The Blindside. I saw The Proposal and she was absolutely hilarious in it. I have not seen The Blindside but have heard from those who have seen it that she is wonderful in it. I have been a Sandra Bullock fan since she first came on the scene in Speed. These 2 nominations are highly deserved.
2. Meryl Streep gets 2 nominations in the same category - Meryl Streep got nominations in the Best Actress in a Comedy for her roles in Julie and Julia and It's Complicated. I haven't seen It's Complicated (I really want to) but I did see Julie and Julia and loved it. She nailed the part of Julia Child.
3. George Clooney, Matt Damon, Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt all get nominations (well sorta) - George is nominated for Best Actor in a Drama for Up in the Air, Matt Damon got 2 nominations (one for Best Actor in a Comedy for The Informant and one for Best Supporting Actor in Invictus), Julia Roberts is nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy for Duplicity and Brad Pitt stars in the Best Drama nominee Inglorious Bastards. If they all show up to the award show, it will be like a reunion of Ocean's 11 and 12. Being a big Ocean's fan, this make me very happy. George, Matt and Brad also bring the pretty so that doesn't hurt either.
4. Anna Kendrick gets nominated - Anna Kendrick is nominated for Best Supporting Actress for the movie Up in the Air. Why would this excite me if I haven't seen the movie? Well, Anna also plays Jessica in the Twilight movies and she is adorable in those. So I am very happy for her.
One thing that did perplex me about the nominations. Invictus was nominated several times. It looks like I may have to go see it. I really don't want to.
The Golden Globes will be presented on January17. I can't wait.
