67th Golden Globe Nominations

It's that time again ladies and gents... Nominations have been announced for the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards. I must say, I am rather excited about the possibilities. While I haven't seen all of the nominated films/shows/performances, the competition appears to be pretty stiff. Good Luck to all of the nominees. The Golden Globe Awards will air live on Sunday, January 17, 2010 at 5 PM PST and 8PM EST.

* Be sure to comment below on your picks for the best.

Take a look at some of the categories (click on film/show for trailers etc.):

Best Motion Picture - Drama
Avatar
The Hurt Locker
Inglourious Basterds
Precious: Based On The Novel Push By Sapphire
Up In The Air

Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama
Emily Blunt – The Young Victoria
Sandra Bullock – The Blind Side
Helen Mirren – The Last Station
Carey Mulligan – An Education
Gabourey Sidibe – Precious: Based On The Novel Push By Sapphire

I feel this category will be the toughest. Newcomer Gabourey Sidibe is up against seasoned vets, especially Helen Mirren. Will her raw emotional role win her a Golden Globe in one of the most coveted categories? Perhaps Sandra Bullock will steal it for her very much talked about performance in The Blind Side. Who knows? I can't even begin to guess in this category, but it'll likely be between Emily, Sandra, Helen and Gabourey.

Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama
Jeff Bridges – Crazy Heart
George Clooney – Up In The Air
Colin Firth – A Single Man
Morgan Freeman – Invictus
Tobey Maguire – Brothers

Okay, I predict Mr. Freeman will take the award home for this category.

Best Motion Picture - Musical Or Comedy
(500) Days Of Summer
The Hangover
It's Complicated
Julie & Julia
Nine

I think this one is going to be a no-brainer... Although it has yet to open, Nine is sure to grasp this award. I am anxiously awaiting to see this movie.

Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy
Sandra Bullock – The Proposal
Marion Cotillard – Nine
Julia Roberts – Duplicity
Meryl Streep – It's Complicated
Meryl Streep – Julie & Julia

Come on people... nice line up, but Meryl is nominated twice... the woman is phenomenal. Ms. Streep, get ready to give another acceptance speech.

Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical Or Comedy
Matt Damon – The Informant!
Daniel Day-Lewis – Nine
Robert Downey Jr. – Sherlock Holmes
Joseph Gordon-Levitt – (500) Days Of Summer
Michael Stuhlbarg – A Serious Man

Best Performance by an Actress In A Supporting Role in a Motion Picture
Penélope Cruz – Nine
Vera Farmiga – Up In The Air
Anna Kendrick – Up In The Air
Mo'nique – Precious: Based On The Novel Push By Sapphire
Julianne Moore – A Single Man

Interesting!!! People are raving about Mo'nique's performance in Precious, but I'm not sure if it was riveting enough to snag this award.

Best Performance by an Actor In A Supporting Role in a Motion Picture
Matt Damon – Invictus
Woody Harrelson – The Messenger
Christopher Plummer – The Last Station
Stanley Tucci – The Lovely Bones
Christoph Waltz – Inglourious Basterds

Best Animated Feature Film
Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs
Coraline
Fantastic Mr. Fox
The Princess And The Frog
Up

I wonder if Disney's decision to feature an African American princess for a change, will land them this award? Probably so!

James Cameron – Avatar
Clint Eastwood – Invictus
Jason Reitman – Up In The Air
Quentin Tarantino – Inglourious Basterds

Best Television Series - Drama
Big Love (HBO)

Glenn Close – Damages (FX NETWORK)
January Jones – Mad Men (AMC)
Julianna Margulies – The Good Wife (CBS)

Bill Paxton – Big Love (HBO)

Best Television Series - Musical Or Comedy
30 Rock (NBC)
Entourage (HBO)
Glee (FOX)
Modern Family (ABC)
The Office (NBC)

Okay! I'm rather sick of 30 Rock taking home all of the awards. My vote is for Glee. Not only is it the only musical in this category, but it really is a great show. It's like a more mature High School Musical. The singing is fantastic and so is the acting. Music, Comedy and Drama... what else could you ask for? The sarcastically witty character, Sue Silvestre, is sure to keep you in stitches.

Well that's all for my pre-awards talk. Post awards wrap will take place on Jan. 18, in which I will discuss the winners/losers and their fashion choices.
