I'm very pleased with the TV and Film nominations although I am shocked that Sex and the City received none. I know that some critics did not like the film but in the summer I read that Cynthia Nixon stood a good chance of getting noticed, or "All Dressed In Love" for "Best Original Song." Speaking of "Best Original Song" I am personally terrified that Miley Cyrus or Beyonce, well not so much Beyonce (at least she won't get it for acting) stand to received a Golden Globe and/or an Academy Award nomination.
I noticed that most of the nominated shows are on cable. In fact only three shows out of the ten shows nominated (five for Drama and five for Comedy) are network shows: House, 30 Rock and The Office. I haven't seen many of the shows nominated actually, so I can't comment on "True Blood" although I hear it's a great show. I'm happy for all the nominees but I think in the category of "Best Actress in a Television Series- Musical or Comedy" is gonna go to Tina Fey, let's face it it's her year and she already won the Emmy Award for it, if she doesn't win I think that Christina Applegate stands a strong chances.
As for "The Dark Knight" I think it got the nomination that it was going to get: "Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture." It probably got overlooked because it was a) released in the summer and b) a superhero movie. I know it was a critical darling but the reality is that fantasy films, sci-fi films and superhero films have a hard time getting award recognition from the Hollywood Foreign Press and the Academy because they are not dramas. Who knows, maybe the Academy will look at it differently but at least Heath is a lock for posthumous recognition this award season.
For my final contribution: I really hope that Kate gets what she deserves this year. I know that people will say that "the best person always wins and it's not about deserving it or not" but she has been overlooked at the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards and has not won....once! Nominated for "Sense and Sensibility" and lost to Mira Sorvino...who went to make "Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion" love that movie but lets be real! Nominated for "Titanic" lost to Helen Hunt who fell of the face of the earth after making "What Women Want", nominated for "Iris" lost to Jennifer Connelly who hasn't made a good movie since "A Beautiful Mind"....she was in "Little Children" but really did she do much??? Nominated for "Eternal Sunshine" and lost to Hilary Swank, I know that "Million Dollar Baby" was a great film, but so was "Eternal Sunshine"!!!! And then she was nominated for "Little Children" but who stood a chance in hell of beating Helen Mirren, I mean really!
I've been watching and reading reviews for "The Reader" and while some critics have mixed reviews for the material itself she is definitely getting all the praise for her performance. I hope that she gets nominated for "Revolutionary Road" and wins because she is a "Best Actress!" I know that you think that Sean Penn is going to get the Oscar for "Milk" but wouldn't it be so cool to see her and Leo both win 11 years after "Titanic"
