Am I seriously that out of touch, or are these really that bad?
BULL-SHIT.
I'm glad to see In Bruges get some love for Colin and Gleeson, but when Cruise and Downey Jr. get love for the awful Tropic Thunder, it just cheapens any and all love anyone else got.
cruise/rdj doesn't bother me. they were both great.
what does bother me:
lack of milk love (no best drama/screenplay/director?)
no brolin for W
no 'let the right one in'
nothing for lost
entourage is still getting nominated for doing the same shit over and over
vicky cristina barcelona is not really a comedy
no Dark Knight.
and the more I think about The Reader, the more i hate it.
Man, I know I haven't seen any of these fucking movies yet, but goddamn, they're probably not that good. Franco getting a nomination is interesting and kinda cool, but whatever.
And no Lost is seriously a fucking shame. Season 4 was so awesome. I'm going to see Milk today, so I'll probably more outraged by everything else later.
No Synecdoche anywhere, wtf.
TOM CRUISE FOR TROPIC THUNDER?????!
it wasn't a good performance. but even if you thought it was, there is no way it's one of the top 5 supporting male performances this year.
He threw on a fat suit and acted like Tom Cruise.
it is 100% based on the fact that he's tom cruise playing something tom cruise wouldn't normally play. if someone else who looked and sounded exactly like tom cruise but wasn't had given exactly the same performance, he would not have been nommed.
Go to the 4:45 mark to hear the audience's reaction to the Cruise nod:

Tom Cruise: More of Les Grossman in the Works!
Source: E! Online
Forget Tom Cruise's reaction to his Golden Globe nomination for his work in Tropic Thunder for a moment. Mr. Cruise can't help but think of how his foulmouthed alter ego, Les Grossman, would react to the news.
"Les would probably say something unprintable," Cruise told me today in an exclusive interview. "First thing when you hear about that character is, just what would that guy say? It would have to be something unprintable."
And it sounds like this isn't the last we've heard from the balding, hairy-chested studio boss. Read on for all the Grossman details...
"I've talked about doing different videos with the character," Cruise said. "I've started working with Ben [Stiller] on it, and we've kind of talked about different things to do. We were gonna do some in our free time, but we haven't found the free time...yet."
He doesn't rule out a full-length feature film centered on Grossman: "He's a fun character," said Cruise, who will next be seen in the real-life WWII thriller Valkyrie. "I gotta talk to Ben, but there could be more to do with that guy."
Grossman's future aside, Cruise said of the nomination, "I'm really thrilled. Kate called me, and family and friends. It's just very exciting."

i don't buy this. whether tom truly deserves the nom is one thing, but the whole "if it were someone else was playing the role or directing the film you wouldn't like it as much" beef (i.e. if ron howard directed there will be blood, we'd think it was just okay) is a lame one.

you're absolutely right. but this is a painful exception. and i'm not saying 'if willem dafoe played it' or anything like that. that would make it a different performance. i'm just saying this is all about who cruise is outside the movie.

They also just want him to show up. It's the biggest ratings boosting nomination they have.
wow what a bad year for movies

Damn, 30 Rock dominated. Werd up. Couldn't have happened to a better show. Glad Colin won. In Bruges deserved to get some love. Mickey Rourke was deserving. Heath Ledger was deserving but predictable. I thought Hathaway was going to win because I read that it got leaked on the GG site. Slumdog = blah. It could have been worse, I guess. I need to see Vicky Christina Barcelona.
Motorcycle Boy reigns.
Rourke, Springsteen, and Winslet's speeches all kept this evening from being a total waste.
Tracy Morgan, too.
Tracy Morgan was great. 30 Rock deserved all the credit. I still cannot believe Lost was not even nominated.
Kate Winslet was so happy and she deserved it. Slumdog for me too, although I know people here do not agree.
Chris Nolan's speech for Heath Ledger was also a nice moment, as well as the Spielberg award. Not a bad show compared to other years.

I don't agree with Slumdog, but I don't disagree enough to be indignant. I know a handful of people that absolutely loved the film, and I'm actually a bit jealous at anyone who can embrace it with such conviction. Though, I guess The Wrestler fills that void.
Still, it's a strange feeling to me being apathetic when it comes to Danny Boyle winning Best Director. He's done some incredible work, and certainly handled Slumdog with more enthusiasm and passion that almost any other director they could have brought onto the project... this just isn't his best work and Mendes, blindsiding me in every regard, has done his best work so far with Revolutionary Road - yet I have a feeling he will continue to be this awards seasons also-also ran. The runner-up to the runner-up.
I guess it's a bit silly for me to opine or be swept up in any of this... I've always found the Golden Globes to be pretty irrelevant, at best. Don't know why I suddenly care.

The Spielberg award reminded me that I can listen to Scorsese talk about ANYTHING and me completely immersed. He has such a reputation for speaking with such machine-gun ferocity, his mouth barely keeping up with his mind - but time and time again he delivers these articulate, measured narratives on subjects he loves and it's mesmerizing.
- cheadle gave the best presenter performance. "i coulda crushed it."
- why was rumor willis just standing there the whole time?
- p. diddy seemed displeased with everything.
- i really want to believe the wrestler has some kind of new momentum going into the oscars for some more noms. i so thought penn had it. best actor is going to be a nail-biter. penn and rourke deserve it, but my heart wants rourke to get it.
- i cannot stand slumdog winning everything.. looks like it's pretty much a lock now.
adding to what pic said:
- nice moment when Heath won, I liked that they didn't over dramatized it
- Mickey Rourke gave the best speech, that moment when he thanks his dog was very emotional, almost as emotional as Heath wining (for me at least), can't wait to see the film
- it has to be said again, Kate Winslet is the most beautiful girl on the planet, good speeches too
- Salma's face and audience's reaction when Sacha told the crack about madonna was priceless, and he was like, come on give me a break, too soon maybe?
Did anyone think the Seth Rogen doing cocaine with Mickey Rourke in the 80's bit was in bad taste? I thought it was hilarious, but the audience didn't seem to think so. You'd think it would fly over perfectly fine with the Golden Globe audience, which is basically a less classy/dime store version of the Oscars. Aronofsky's middle finger was awesome, too.
The Golden Globes are like Dickies to the Oscar's Levi's. The XIXAX awards are like, Wranglers, I guess. A used pair.
I thought there were a few over the line moments... like Sasha, Seth Rogen and Colin Farrell both talking about cocaine ("I have a cold... not what it used to be"), and Ricky Gervais with the holocaust movies and nazi jokes? Good he didn't say the other joke, he forgets most of the people there and the ones voting are jews.
Rumner Willis is the ugliest chick ever. They usually get a very hot daughter of someone important to be the GG Girl, but this girl is just ugly and her head is shaped like a fucking football.

:yabbse-grin:
I was really surprised at Kate.
Doesn't she get nominated (sometimes multiple) for something just about every year?
No love for Charlie Kaufman?
(I haven't seen the film btw)
I think Kate gets nominated for everything she does even if it's the shittiest performance ever just for a reason to have her at the awards so everyone can look at her.
I'm perfectly fine with that and I hope it continues.

I didn't realize she had gotten Supporting as well earlier in the evening.
Was she more calm during that acceptance?
I guess I could understand if she was like that after winning the second award and then add in the fact that film was done with her husband.
did they have to give kate both awards? i haven't seen the reader, but i was really rooting for marisa.
tina fey's speech was gold.
oh i forgot to mention: tom hanks is always really funny at awards shows for some reason. deserves a mention. that moment he so easily deflected the stupid backstage guy using his own brand of desperate masturbatory awards enthusiasm against him at the last oscars is still fresh in my mind. and then years earlier he showed that subtle but deep sense of shame when steve martin jokingly implied he'd kidnapped in the name of an oscar. brilliant stuff.
^^ agreed, I too remember that bit from the oscars (yes bret lots of fun!!!) he's always real funny, thinking about that makes me wonder why if the academy wanted a movie star to host this year, why not choose someone like Hanks instead of Hugh Jackman...
