Comments on: Golden Globes Nominations 2009 Announced http://blog.spout.com/2008/12/11/golden-globes-nominations-2009-announced/ Daily coverage of what is truly interesting in the film world Sun, 29 Nov 2009 00:30:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Chris Jay http://blog.spout.com/2008/12/11/golden-globes-nominations-2009-announced/#comment-118369 Chris Jay Sun, 14 Dec 2008 17:59:25 +0000 http://blog.spout.com/?p=8180#comment-118369 Maybe I'm just being daft, but I didn't see a comedy or a musical when I saw "Viicky Christina Barcelona," I saw a sort of sexual coming-of-age drama with a few funny moments, but not enough for me to think of the film as a comedy. Also, I have to say, I got pretty amped when I read "The Visitor" had been nominated and was disappointed to find that it had not. I program an arthouse theater in a relatively small town, and "The Visitor" was one of our biggest hits this year. It sould out our 135-seat auditorium about seven times, and our patrons were leaving the theater after every screening engaged in some pretty serious debates about immigration, so I have a soft spot for the film.

But then that should have happened with Tropic Thunder too. Strange that the foreign press love that movie enough for those noms but not for Best Comedy.

Also, Happy-Go-Lucky got a bunch of comedic nods - I have a feeling it should win most of those, esp considering it is competing against Mamma Mia and Burn After Reading.

I was hoping Vanessa Williams would receive a nod, but oh well. glad to see Wall-E on the list, saw it over the weekend and surprisingly enjoyed it.
