Golden Globe nominations ain't got much "Milk"; Neil Patrick Harris scores a nod

The Supporting categories have always sucked, as they don't break down between Drama and Comedy (same for TV). In this year's case Tropic Thunder took 2 of the slots - if they broke out this category like they do for lead performer it would have played out differently, I imagine.

I seem to recall that for Emmy's, the actors submit episodes for consideratio, showcasing their strongest work (TV of course) - do they do it for the Globes?  I was just kinda curious which NPH would have chosen for Barney to get him nominated.  Several to choose from.

While I loved MIlk I'd have to agree that as a film, it wasn't one of the 5 best films of the year. Pretty convential, by the book, and a little to focused on the technicalities of poltics than the characters' motivations. Its definitely one of the 5 most IMPORTANT films of the year, but best..maybe not. It really paled in comparison to the documentary for me.

The acting nomination of Sean Penn is right on the mark. I thought Emile Hirsch was the only other one I'd consider for supporting, but the part was just too low profile I guess.

Ive always found the Golden Globes weird though, the way they throw musical and comedy together, like you could create the darkest, most dramatic musical ever, and have it nominated next to 4 light fluffy comedies.

And I'm being kind.

You have to remember, the Golden Globes has always had questionable taste.  After all, they declared Patch Adams one of the best films of 1998 when they nominated it for best picture.

In fairness to the Golden Globes, at least they named ''Brokeback Mountain'' Best Drama, unlike the Oscars. And yes, that had that debacle with Pia Zadora, but that was 1982. ... That said, the Foreign Press are such starf*ckers. Case in point: Tom Cruise's nomination in ''Tropic Thunder'' - over Josh Brolin, James Franco or Emile Hirsch in ''Milk.'' Cruise has been nominated 6 times for a Globe and won 3 times. He's one of their pets. Brad Pitt, too, who I suspect will win over Sean Penn, even tho' Penn won Best Actor from BOTH the L.A. AND N.Y. film critics. I can't take awards seriously, especially with the ''Brokeback'' Oscar debacle. 

i am not surprised. i did get a phone call saying "see, told you liz....you just watch"

and who is this pia chick everyone is talking about? what is the controversy about, i mean??

....i think brad pitt or even angelina could both wear trashbags and stand in place for a whole movie and STILL get nominated. it's almost like high school to me. gotta nominate the most popular people out there.

Yes, I have seen Butterfly...i've seen (and own) everything she's been in (including Voyage of the Rock Aliens and the greatest picture ever made about Hollywood, The Lonely Lady). And just let me state for the record that Pia did NOT win best actress for Butterfly. She won "most promising newcomer of the year", and sure, her husband threw a party for the HFP, and none of the members actually saw the movie, but ....that's beside the point.

Can you handle THE 80'S ACCORDING TO SNICKS?

I knew she won for most promising newcomer (although, really, she wasn't a newcomer having been in "Santa Clause vs. The Martians" previous to this. The Golden Globes don't give out that award anymore do they?
