Golden Globes Nominations Annouced This Morning + Juno

The nominations for the Globes were announced this morning. You can find the whole list here.

It is good to see Pushing Daisies getting some respect on here. Nominated under the "Best Television Series - Musical or Comedy." I don't know how much of a comedy the show is, especially when you compare it to some of its competition like 30 Rock and even Entourage. I was really surprised to see The Office or even Scrubs (in it's last season) missing from this list. Steve Carell is nominated for Best Performance by an Actor In A Television Series - Musical Or Comedy, but still the show is only getting better.

I don't see anyone giving Grey's Anatomy much competition in the field of Best TV Drama, although House could surprise. I imagine the same sort of thing happening in the Best Animated Feature Film category and Ratatouille.

I actually haven't seen any of the nominations for best drama or best comedy. Some of these films aren't even out yet and I'm sort of surprised how top-heavy the list is with latecomers. What I can say about this is that it is good to see Juno in the Best Comedy or Musical category. Ellen Page, who plays the main character in the film, is also nominated for Best Performance.

The film has been getting great reviews so far with its limited release. Expect it to start expanding in the Connecticut area within the next week or two. I'm actually going to a screening of it on Monday so I'll let you know if it is worth the hype. The film is directed by Jason Rietman, who also did the film Thank You For Smoking (also good) and written by Diablo Cody. Cody is a bit of a newcomer, as this is her first film. So far, so good though. A lot of people are assuming Judd Apatow actually wrote Juno, due to the moniker I've often heard as Knocked Up from the female perspective. Superbad comparisons will also be bound to happen with Michael Cera in the mix. Without further ado I present to you the trailer.



The Golden Globes will air on NBC on Jan. 13 at 8 p.m.
