No strike can keep me from casting my vote!1. BEST MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA
AMERICAN GANGSTER
ATONEMENT
EASTERN PROMISES
THE GREAT DEBATERS
MICHAEL CLAYTON
NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN
*THERE WILL BE BLOOD
Neck in neck for NCFOM and TWBB, which would annoy me then if there is Michael Clayton sneak attack win. I would go with NC, but I think it will be Blood after all.
2. BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS– DRAMA
CATE BLANCHETT – ELIZABETH: THE GOLDEN AGE
*JULIE CHRISTIE – AWAY FROM HER
JODIE FOSTER – THE BRAVE ONE
ANGELINA JOLIE – A MIGHTY HEART
KEIRA KNIGHTLEY – ATONEMENT
Down with Jolie in a boring movie.
3. BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR– DRAMA
GEORGE CLOONEY – MICHAEL CLAYTON
*DANIEL DAY-LEWIS – THERE WILL BE BLOOD
JAMES MCAVOY – ATONEMENT
VIGGO MORTENSEN – EASTERN PROMISES
DENZEL WASHINGTON – AMERICAN GANGSTER
I barely care. I don't need a smug Clooney, unless he talks about Barack Obama, which I would support, encourage, and love. We need that.
4. BEST MOTION PICTURE – COMEDY OR MUSICAL
ACROSS THE UNIVERSE
CHARLIE WILSON’S WAR
HAIRSPRAY
*JUNO
SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET
This race is interesting. I feel the Globes love to honor musicals. I would have said Sweeney was a shoo-in, but Juno has so much momentum right now. I pray it isn't Hairspray, and nothing seems good about Charlie Wilson
5.BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS – COMEDY
AMY ADAMS – ENCHANTED
NIKKI BLONSKY – HAIRSPRAY
HELENA BONHAM CARTER – SWEENEY TODD
MARION COTILLARD – LA VIE EN ROSE
*ELLEN PAGE – JUNO
Same as above. Marion probably has all the right reasons to win: foreign, musical, showy role, but Juno is buzzing and the globes, in an almost pedophilic way, love to award the ingénue. Poor Laura Linney, in the best performance of the year.
6. BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR - COMEDY
*JOHNNY DEPP – SWEENEY TODD
RYAN GOSLING – LARS AND THE REAL GIRL
TOM HANKS – CHARLIE WILSON’S WAR
PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN – THE SAVAGES
JOHN C. REILLY – WALK HARD: THE DEWEY COX STORY
This has to be a no brainer right?
7. BEST ANIMATED FEATURE FILM
BEE MOVIE
RATATOUILLE
*THE SIMPSONS MOVIE! (exclamation point, mine)
8. BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM
4 MONTHS, 3 WEEKS AND 2 DAYS (ROMANIA)
*THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY (FRANCE AND USA)
THE KITE RUNNER (USA)
LUST, CAUTION (TAIWAN)
PERSEPOLIS (FRANCE)
Kite Runner upset?
9. BEST PERFORMANCE BY A SUPPORTING ACTRESS
CATE BLANCHETT – I’M NOT THERE
JULIA ROBERTS – CHARLIE WILSON’S WAR
SAOIRSE RONAN –ATONEMENT
*AMY RYAN – GONE BABY GONE
TILDA SWINTON – MICHAEL CLAYTON
I think I am over this role, having never even seen a commercial or clip of it.
10. BEST PERFORMANCE BY A SUPPORTING ACTOR
CASEY AFFLECK – THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES
*JAVIER BARDEM –NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN
PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN – CHARLIE WILSON’S WAR
JOHN TRAVOLTA – HAIRSPRAY
TOM WILKINSON – MICHAEL CLAYTON
Over this one as well. I am now fully in the Tommy Lee Jones camp as the stronger performance in this movie; however, even TLJ is behind both Josh Brolin and Kelly MacDonald. I just thought of Kelly, and my heart just broke.
11. BEST DIRECTOR – MOTION PICTURE
TIM BURTON – SWEENEY TODD
*ETHAN COEN & JOEL COEN – NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN
JULIAN SCHNABEL – THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY
RIDLEY SCOTT – AMERICAN GANGSTER
JOE WRIGHT – ATONEMENT
A few weeks ago I still might have said Director would go to Burton. Sadly, I feel he is waining.
12. BEST SCREENPLAY – MOTION PICTURE
DIABLO CODY – JUNO
*ETHAN COEN & JOEL COEN – NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN
CHRISTOPHER HAMPTON – ATONEMENT
RONALD HARWOOD – THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY
AARON SORKIN – CHARLIE WILSON’S WAR
Or Diablo.
13. BEST ORIGINAL SCORE – MOTION PICTURE
MICHAEL BROOK/ KAKI KING and EDDIE VEDDER – INTO THE WILD
CLINT EASTWOOD – GRACE IS GONE
ALBERTO IGLESIAS – THE KITE RUNNER
*DARIO MARIANELLI – ATONEMENT
HOWARD SHORE – EASTERN PROMISES
I haven't a clue. Atonement because I saw it, and they included typewriters in their score. That's novel.
14. BEST ORIGINAL SONG – MOTION PICTURE
"DESPEDIDA" – LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA Music by: Shakira and Antonio Pinto Lyrics by: Shakira
"GRACE IS GONE" – GRACE IS GONE Music by: Clint Eastwood Lyrics by: Carole Bayer Sager
"GUARANTEED" – INTO THE WILD Music & Lyrics by: Eddie Vedder
*"THAT’S HOW YOU KNOW" – ENCHANTED Music By: Alan Menken Lyrics By: Stephen Schwartz
"WALK HARD" – WALK HARD: THE DEWEY COX STORY Music & Lyrics by: Marshall Crenshaw, John C. Reilly, Judd Apatow and Jake Kasdan
I am strictly voting for Amy Adams here, knowing that the best song of the year "Falling Slowly" from Once isn't here.
15. BEST TELEVISION SERIES – DRAMA
BIG LOVE
DAMAGES
GREY’S ANATOMY
HOUSE
*MAD MEN
THE TUDORS
Mad Men seems to be the new it thing, kinda boring category
16. BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS TELEVISION– DRAMA
PATRICIA ARQUETTE – MEDIUM
GLENN CLOSE – DAMAGES
MINNIE DRIVER – THE RICHES
*EDIE FALCO – THE SOPRANOS
SALLY FIELD – BROTHERS & SISTERS
HOLLY HUNTER – SAVING GRACE
KYRA SEDGWICK – THE CLOSER
I can't vote for screechy Sally Field. I would love it if Glenn Close won, and then, hey, maybe started making movies again.
17. BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR TELEVISION– DRAMA
*MICHAEL C. HALL – DEXTER
JON HAMM – MAD MEN
HUGH LAURIE – HOUSE
JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS – THE TUDORS
BILL PAXTON – BIG LOVE
While Mad Men is buzzing, I don't feel like any of the performances are. David Fisher is so hot and sleek and sexy right now. And I can say the exact opposite about Bill Paxton, an annoying threat here.
18. BEST TELEVISION SERIES – COMEDY OR MUSICAL
30 ROCK
CALIFORNICATION
ENTOURAGE
*EXTRAS
PUSHING DAISIES
Although Pushing Daisies seems to be the belle of the Globes.
19.BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS TELEVISION COMEDY
CHRISTINA APPLEGATE – SAMANTHA WHO?
AMERICA FERRERA – UGLY BETTY
TINA FEY – 30 ROCK
ANNA FRIEL – PUSHING DAISIES
*MARY-LOUISE PARKER – WEEDS
We are all over Ugly Betty, right? I don't see Fey winning for her acting at any awards show, but I would gladly be wrong. The Pushing Daisies girl is annoying.
20. BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR TELEVISION– COMEDY
ALEC BALDWIN – 30 ROCK
STEVE CARELL – THE OFFICE
DAVID DUCHOVNY – CALIFORNICATION
*RICKY GERVAIS – EXTRAS
LEE PACE – PUSHING DAISIES
A repeat of the Office (british) double-slam from a few years ago? I would love Carell to win again. I want to hold hands with Lee Pace.
21. BEST MINI-SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TV
BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE
THE COMPANY
*FIVE DAYS
LONGFORD
THE STATE WITHIN (BBC AMERICA)
No idea. In 8th grade, I read Bury My Heart
22. BEST ACTRESS IN A MINI-SERIES/MOTION PICTURE TV
*BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD – AS YOU LIKE IT
DEBRA MESSING – THE STARTER WIFE
QUEEN LATIFAH – LIFE SUPPORT
SISSY SPACEK – PICTURES OF HOLLIS WOODS
RUTH WILSON – JANE EYRE
No one say "Starter Wife" to me ever again.
23. BEST ACTOR IN A MINI-SERIES/MOTION PICTURE TV
ADAM BEACH – BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE
ERNEST BORGNINE – A GRANDPA FOR CHRISTMAS
*JIM BROADBENT – LONGFORD
JASON ISAACS – THE STATE WITHIN
JAMES NESBITT – JEKYLL
I like Jim Broadbent as a person.
24. BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS TELEVISION (SERIES/MOVIE)
ROSE BYRNE – DAMAGES
*RACHEL GRIFFITHS – BROTHERS & SISTERS
KATHERINE HEIGL – GREY’S ANATOMY
SAMANTHA MORTON – LONGFORD
ANNA PAQUIN – BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE
JAIME PRESSLY – MY NAME IS EARL
I am so over Heigl it isn't even funny.
25. BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR TELEVISION (SERIES/MOVIE)
TED DANSON – DAMAGES
KEVIN DILLON – ENTOURAGE
JEREMY PIVEN – ENTOURAGE
*ANDY SERKIS – LONGFORD
WILLIAM SHATNER – BOSTON LEGAL
DONALD SUTHERLAND – DIRTY SEXY MONEY
Serkis is still overdue for the awards he missed out for playing Gollum. If we were to make a list of 10 people who go out of their way to annoy me, the other 5 nominees could all possibly make it.
Happy Strike!
