The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has announced the Golden Globe nominations for 2007. Of course, due to the ongoing writers’ strike, there is a very real possibility that there will be no awards show this year.

Nevertheless, this is the start of the awards season for real. I’m eager to see Atonement, Charlie Wilson’s War and There Will Be Blood, and I think I shouldn’t have missed Michael Clayton. I hope to see all of them before the Oscars, though.

What do you think of this list? Any surprises? Any omissions?

In honour of Gene Hackman, I’m off to see The Royal Tenenbaums again tonight!

Looking over the list of Oscar nominees, I’m very disappointed that Gene Hackman was overlooked. Usually winning the Golden Globe award pretty much assures a nomination for the Oscar, and in his case it was sorely deserved. I didn’t see Training Day, but really, two nominations for acting in a film that didn’t get any other notice seems odd.
