"Milk" don't need no stinking Golden Globes! Not with these noms!

Last week we were disappointed that Milk only received a single Golden Globe nod (for Sean Penn's performance), but the nominations announced this morning more than make up for it.

The Screen Actors Guild announced the nominations for their 15th annual awards, and Milk received three; lead actor Penn, supporting actor Josh Brolin, and one for "outstanding performance by a cast". The SAG awards will be presented live January 25th on TNT and TBS.

Even better, The Broadcast Film Critics Association has announced the nominees and presenters for the 14th Annual Critics Choice Awards, and Milk is tied for the most noms (eight) with The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons (which to me just sounds like a high falutin' ripoff of Stephen King's Golden Years).

Milk is up for best picture, actor, two for supporting actor (Brolin and James Franco), best acting ensemble, director (the out Gus Van Sant), writer (the out Dustin Lance Black), and composer (the ubiquitous Danny Elfman).

The Critics Choice Awards will be presented live on VH-1 January 8th, and hopefully this roll that Milk is on will continue when the Oscar nominations are announced January 22nd!
