GO LEO! The love of my life. Although, Sean Penn was beyond phenomenal in Milk.

Anne Hathaway. I heard Rachel Getting Married was incredible and she's so talented. I like a lot of the actresses nominated this year.

Check out Miley grabbing Golden Globe nods!

So, obviously, the GG snubbed the Dark Night a little. Why? I mean, come on, there is no real competition there is no way Heath isn't getting the best supporting actor oscar this year. I know he was nominated, but really, no one else?

And of course, I'm excited that Meryl Streep and Kate got nominations, but seriously, if Kate doesn't win an Oscar soon, I'm going to protest the Academy.

I LOVE AWARD SEASON. Let's talk TV nods.

...True Blood racked them up! It really is such a well done show, the acting is great, the writing is twisty and it's on HBO so it can be quite racy. And The Best Actress in A Comedy Series nominees I really like. I love Tina Fey, she is the greatest! (In Vanity Fair this month), but I really like Christina Applegate and Mary Louise Parker as well. Dexter, True Blood, Mad Men, 30 Rock...tons of contenders. I'm pretty happy with the Golden Globes this year, save for the Dark Night thing. Thoughts?
