Golden Globes

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.
