[ZapRowsdower]

I respect the fact that they remembered movies like Kill Bill: Vol. 2 and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but...

Movies these asshats forgot

The Passion of the Christ. Yeah, this was a biggie. They talked about how it couldn't be nominated for best motion picture - drama because they considered it a foreign language film. And its nomination in the foreign language film category? Where is it?

Garden State. Don't give me the old "they ran out of nomination space" thing. The Golden Globes don't really have a limit.

Napoleon Dynamite. See Garden State.

Why did they mesh the two screenplay categories together? There is a difference between an adapted screenplay and an original screenplay... a HUGE difference. This is a major surprise to me, considering these are the same people who separate dramas from musicals and comedies.

Speaking of which, how does Ray qualify as a musical or comedy? It's a biopic about a musician, but that doesn't make it a musical. And it CERTAINLY isn't a comedy.

Birth? Don't most people HATE that movie?

Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason? Don't get me wrong, I liked it, but you're giving Zellweger credit for playing the same character she played three years ago. Yeah, she did a good job at it, but she shouldn't have been nominated. Oh, and a lot of people hated this one too.

How are Clive Owen and Natalie Portman SUPPORTING roles?

[Heineken Skywalker]

Speaking of which, how does Ray qualify as a musical or comedy? It's a biopic about a musician, but that doesn't make it a musical. And it CERTAINLY isn't a comedy.

I agree. While I loved RAY, it's a dramatic biopic. Not a musical or a comedy. And Jamie Foxx's performance belongs in the Drama category. Essentially they're saying that RAY is the same as something like CHICAGO. Both entertaining movies, but totally different from each other.

Glad to see that David Carradine wasn't overlooked for KILL BILL VOL. 2 though. This is probably a pretty good sign for him come Oscar nomination time.

[ZapRowsdower]

Here's the list again. I put a star by the ones I think should win in each category. Not a prediction, just an opinion.

[Pulpmariachi]

I guess I'll give my opinion with one of those little stars, too. But, again, this isn't a prediction, just what I would choose.

I agree it sucks that Garden State didn't make the cut, because that was a good film. But I'm glad they didn't add Napolean Dynamite or The Passion of the Christ. I hated both those movies.

Oh, I'll just omit the categories where I haven't seen any of the nominated.

Winners:

Best Motion Picture - Drama

The Aviator (2004) - Finally, Scorsese's taking home some gold. Too bad he didn't get the award for Best Director. There's always the Academy Awards for that one. Sure, I preferred Closer. But I'm not complaining, this was an excellent movie.

Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy

Sideways (2004) - I know I complained this was overhyped, and I graced it with a measly 8.5 rating (which I may consider revising, I'd really like to see this again), and I know Phantom of the Opera was my second favorite movie this year, but again, I agree with this one. With time, this movie grows on you.

Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama

Leonardo DiCaprio for The Aviator (2004) - Not surprised, I felt this was DiCaprio's best performance. Yes, I also felt that it was the (second) best performance of the year (next to James Caviezel in the Passion).

Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama

Hilary Swank for Million Dollar Baby (2004) - I don't want to say lack of competition... So I'll say this was both an excellent performance WITH a lack of competition. Uma Thurman was good, but I bet even she knew she wasn't going to win this one. The other three were PROBABLY good, except no one ever saw any of those movies. A wider release might have done them some good. Anyway, this doesn't surprise me at all.

Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy

Jamie Foxx for Ray (2004/I) - No shit! I thought Kevin Kline would win this one for sure! Seriously, if you're surprised by this, you haven't seen the movie... nor have you seen trailers for the movie... nor have you been anywhere near society.

Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy

Annette Bening for Being Julia (2004) - This DOES surprise me. I guess this is going to give the studio an excuse to give this movie a wider release. I'm surprised I even heard of this movie before the Golden Globes. (Surprisingly enough, my theater almost got it, but our bookings changed on us)

Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture

Clive Owen for Closer (2004/I) - YES! THERE IS A GOD! Looking past the hype of Sideways, these people made the right decision and picked the actual best supporting actor of the year. Finally, Clive Owen is beginning to get noticed.

Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture

Natalie Portman for Closer (2004/I) - Not to put down on this, because I am really excited to see Portman win this award, God knows she deserves it. But I was hoping to see Cate Blanchett win this one, she was excellent as Katherine Hepburn. Still, not complaining. This was an excellent performance by Natalie Portman.

Best Director - Motion Picture

Clint Eastwood for Million Dollar Baby (2004) - Tough choice. Really tough choice. I tried to pick one from here. I guess they figured "we gave best picture to the Aviator, let's give Clint Eastwood something to take home too." I'm sad to see Scorsese NOT get best director, but I'm glad to see Clint Eastwood get it.

Best Screenplay - Motion Picture

Sideways (2004) - Alexander Payne, Jim Taylor - Again, not surprised. I wish they separated the category in two, there's a difference between an adapted and original screenplay. Yeah, this WAS one of the best screenplays of the year.

Best Original Song - Motion Picture

Alfie (2004) ("Old Habits Die Hard") - To someone who actually listens to the music at the end of a movie, this was a very good song. It's got a nice beat to it. It was performed by Mick Jagger by the way.

Best Original Score - Motion Picture

The Aviator (2004) - Howard Shore - To me, this was the only really memorable score of the year. I did like the score in Troy, but who's gonna remember Troy besides me? And surprisingly enough, the Van Helsing score was pretty good too. But the Aviator's score sticks with you. I totally agree with this one.

Best Foreign Language Film

Mar adentro (2004/I) (Spain) - For those who don't speak Spanish, that's The Sea Inside, a movie I haven't seen because once again, it's a limited release. In fact, the only movie in the category I HAVE seen was House of Flying Daggers. I would definitely like to see this one. I would also like to see A Very Long Engagement and the Motorcycle Diaries, just haven't had the chance. And why wasn't Taegukgi nominated?

Best Television Series - Drama

"Nip/Tuck" (2003) - Too bad I don't watch TV. I've been meaning to start again. I just got Tivo, so it shouldn't be too hard.

Best Television Series - Musical or Comedy

"Desperate Housewives" (2004)

Best Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television

The Life and Death of Peter Sellers (2004) - The only TV movie I saw this year, and yes, it WAS excellent.

Best Performance by an Actor in a Mini-Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television

Geoffrey Rush for The Life and Death of Peter Sellers (2004) - Talk about a performance that does its subject justice. Geoffrey Rush was excellent. He played Peter Sellers AND Peter Sellers' roles perfectly.

Best Performance by an Actress in a Mini-Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television

Glenn Close for The Lion in Winter (2003) (TV)

Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series - Musical or Comedy

Jason Bateman for "Arrested Development" (2003)

Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series - Musical or Comedy

Teri Hatcher for "Desperate Housewives" (2004)

Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series - Drama

Ian McShane for "Deadwood" (2004/I)

Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series - Drama

Mariska Hargitay for "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" (1999)

Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television

William Shatner for "Boston Legal" (2004) - What's this? William Shatner finally learned how to act?

Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television

Anjelica Huston for Iron Jawed Angels (2004) (TV)

[Heineken Skywalker]
