The results are in and I am afraid to say that I agreed with few of the decisions. DREAMGIRLS, THE DEPARTED and THE QUEEN were all disappointing in their way. Still I'm pleased to see the jury had the balls to give BORAT a nod. Below is my original post on the noms with the actual winners in red. If I were playing roulette with a tenner on each punt, I would have staked £140 and lost £100. Abysmal.
.........The GOLDEN GLOBE nominations are out. Horrified to see THE DEPARTED, THE QUEEN and of all things, LITTLE CHILDREN feeling the love. And BABEL: I found this to be an overly earnesy, ponderous, sadistic film - full of sound and fury yet saying nothing breathtakingly original or incisive. Nice to see BORAT up there despite the recent backlash and Maggie Gyllenhaal getting props for SHERRYBABY as well as BOBBY..... Usual format: asterisks for who I think will win, bold type for those I think *should* win.
