Predictable News: Golden Globe nominations!
This just in from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association:
Hello! Hola! Bonjour! Konichiwa! Merhaba! We realize that the winter solstice holidays have yet to arrive and that the real awards-film race is really a January affair. But we are the Hollywood foreign press! We interpret the goings and comings of the Hollywoodites for the benefit of the avid reading public back home! Or we cover the affairs of Vancouver (the Hollywood of the north) and Riga (the Hollywood of the Baltics) for the avid reading public in the Hollywood hills! You decide!
But…continuing on. We know that you, the American public, have not yet feasted from the table of fine filmic fare slated for the winter of 2008, and we are sympathetic to your plight. But we feel compelled to remind you: WE HAVE, thanks to the joy of early press screenings! NYAH, NYAH, NYAH. For the likes of our scritch-scratching pens and clip-clapping typewriters, no press junket is too exclusive, no screening too far ahead of the release date. For the rest of you, well…sorry. We have heard the brilliance of Aaron Sorkin’s Charlie Wilson’s War screenplay with our own ears. We have experienced Johnny Depp’s singing voice–like a waterfall of honey flowing over a cliff of diamonds–in stereo! And yes, we have witnessed the glory of your all-time favorite comic actors collaborating on Juno. We have, and you’ll just have to wait until it comes to the local cineplex. HA! (Not to rub it in your face, or anything. It’s just that we have to report to all the folks back home. You understand.)
As for Michael Clayton…yeah, we didn’t see that either.
For a full list of the nominations (and don’t worry; you haven’t heard the last of CH Golden Globe chatter), see here.
If you can’t wait, see here.

I still can’t believe no DIRL. I would have thought that was just the kind of comedy the HFP would like. But I guess Juno took it’s spot this year. Boo. (Even though I am pretty certain I will LOVE Juno)
