Yesterday the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced their nominees for the 2010 Golden Globe awards.
Jason Reitman’s Up in the Air (starring George Clooney) led the award nods with six nominations. Precious followed close behind, earning three nominations, including Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. Both of the films are up for Best Motion Picture, along with Avatar, The Hurt Locker, and Inglourious Basterds.
You can see the nominees for all of the categories on the HFPA Golden Globe website.
I’m looking forward to the Golden Globes in 2010 for the same reason I look forward to them every year; and that is, they’re much more fun than the Oscars. The celebrities drink, mingle, and have a good time. And of course, you get to root for your favorite television series in addition to your favorite films during the ceremony.
Ultimately, I hope 30 Rock wins Best Comedy/Musical Television series (again), that a woman wins Best Director (Kathryn Bigelow, The Hurt Locker), and that Precious gets some major recognition. Other than that, I’ll just enjoy watching the celebrities relax and enjoy themselves in a way that they would not if it were the uptight Oscars.
I’d be thrilled for Modern Family to win best comedy. I love 30 Rock, but I feel like Mod could use the attention. If Glee wins… Ugh. I just don’t even want to go there in my head.
Also, generally speaking, I think this is one of the best collection of nominees they’ve had in a while.
I haven’t seen Modern Family yet, but I thought the previews looked hilarious. And I’ve been hearing similarities to Arrested Development…so I’ll have to check it out.
Keep up the nice work.
