Early Globe Reaction

It’s too early to actually think too much about the Globes nominations, except to say… “some old, same old.”

Every surprise on the list is an homage to star power and/or Miramax.  Nicole, Uma, Renee and Meryl… David Carradine… only Kevin and Ashley feel like a reach for something they really liked of pure heart. 

But really, not very surprising. 

They went to 11 Best Picture titles, which oddly enough, I had somehow channeled.  (Not really intentionally.)  Beyond The Sea couldn’t even make it to Best Musical/Comedy, replaced by The Incredibles, though Spacey did make it, as expected.

Jamie Foxx double dipped with Collateral and Ray, but they left out Cruise and Michael Mann.

The closest thing to edgy was going Best Picture and Actor with Hotel Rwanda… though they came up short on Sophie Okonedo. But never mind that, they missed Shoreh Aghdashloo last year.

And while I still expect the positions to reverse with The Academy, I’m pleased that Liam Neeson took Clint Eastwood’s acting slot and that Kinsey made the List o’ Eleven.
