Golden Globe nominees were announced:.
Some of the notable are "Pride and Prejudice" up for "Picture, Musical Or Comedy" (I guess they end up in that category of they can't decide what they were trying to make...but at least if you fail at one, it might still slide into one of the others). "Walk the Line" is in the same category. Johnny and June, or Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Pheonix are nominated as best actor and actress. If they win, the awards banquet will be at Folsom Prison. Laura Linney is also up for her role in "Pride and Prejudice."
Willie Wonka, or at least the one played by Johnny Depp is competing against Joaquin for his role in "Charlie and the Chocolate factory." Nathan Lane is also nominated for his role in "The Producers." Will Farrell stepped out of his little role in "The Elf" (get it, huh?) and is nominated for acting in "The Producers."
In TV, "Commander in Chief" is up for nomination as drama series. Hillary Clinton will enjoy it if this shows wins. Geena Davis is also nominated as best actress in a drama series. Kiefer Sutherland is nominated for his role in "24" and the Golden Globe show may have to be shot in real time. "Desperate Housewives," of course, is nominated. "Curb Your Enthusiasm" is also nominated but I don't know how it got under the comedy category. I would have put it under foreign film. Marcia Cross, Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Eva Longoria, all "Desperate Housewives" compete against each other as best actress, oh yes, and against Mary-Louis Parker for "Weeds." Zach Braff got a nominations for "Scrubs" and Steve Carell for "The Office", and one of the two men, Charlie Sheen for "Two and a Half Men."
Winners will be announced January 16th and hopefully Joan Rivers will be on the red carpet to help keep egos in check.
