Golden Globes nominations

This year’s Golden Globe Film Award nominations were announced today. Paramount's Up In The Air headed with 6 major nominations, followed by Nine's 5 and Inglourious Basterds' 4.

Up In The Air is excellent and deserves its nominations. Especially pleased to see both Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick make the 5 Best Supporting Actress nominations.

Also very pleased to see Jeff Bridges in for Best Actor, though i would have liked to see Crazy Heart pick up more nominations. Much love for The Hurt Locker but they missed out Jeremy Renner, which is a shame. Nice to see the ever great Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Best Actor Comedy for (500) Days Of Summer.

The Best Actress Comedy/Musical seems a bit rubbish though and what on Earth It's Complicated, with its cliched characters and unrealistic dialogue, is doing in best screenplay is beyond me. If that's one of the best 5 screenplays of the year then we're in trouble!
