I found it annoying that Gossip Cop didn't give all the categories. No Best Actor, Best Screenplay, Best Supporting Actress. I went right to Golden Globes site to get the whole magilla. That was before I came in to COH this morning.

Yaaaaahoooo! Congratulations, George! Keep it up! Smile!

I'm very happy for him! He's eating dessert today! Chomp down George... you need your strength!

We hope to win a prize if he wins three is better !!GO George go!!!

I revised some of my posts because of redundancy. Dakota put down all of the pertinent information, so I deleted mine to conserve on space. No sense in having a gazillion entries.

Very good Zizi, I support that!



@alriv
Welcome

Trying to see all the films with best actors before GG, starting with GC tomorrow, already saw Ryan's performance, LC film get to see with my son so I'll enjoy that no matter what the film's like, since it's directed by Clint, I'm thinking it will be good. But I'm hoping Best Actor for George, would be nice addition to his achievements.

Congrats on the noms, G!

Can't wait for GG. Not only is G nominated but Madonna's movie W.E. is nominated for a couple as well. Can't wait to see her movie as well, looks very interesting and I think I'd like to see it even if I wasn't a fan.

I'd like to see best actor but even more I'd like to see best director. I think that's the direction his career is heading in and would love that accolade for him.

I agree Katie. I think I said in a different thread a long time ago, I think that George would feel a greater honor in the Director's Oscar. He has stated before that a movie (or a role) is as good as the script. He had a good script and a great director (from what most people say of Payne) so his performance was stellar. However, with him being the director, he had to put the whole thing together. I think with him and Grant writing the script, he already had the vision of what he wanted in IOM. He's got a nom for the Globes, let's hope that leads to Oscar. With that being said, as much as he admires Payne and wanted to work with him SO badly, I wonder if he'll campaign more heavily for Payne to get it?

Some interesting thoughts on what these nominations might mean for the Oscars:

Searching for Oscar Hints in the Golden Globe Nominations

Since the Golden Globes nominate both films and actors in two streams of categories — what they call “drama” vs. “musical or comedy” — they have the luxury of not winnowing down the awards race at all, and just handing things out promiscuously. So you have to look at the Globe nominations and ask, in effect, “Which of these things does not belong here?”

For instance, I have difficulty believing that “The Ides of March,” “50/50″ or “Bridesmaids” are legitimate Oscar contenders, and all three of those just got best-picture nods from the Globes. (Given that we don’t know how many films the Academy will nominate, I suppose their presence creates intriguing possibilities.) Similarly, there were some improbable nominations in the acting categories. No one seriously expects Brendan Gleeson or Joseph Gordon-Levitt or Kristen Wiig to be among the nominees on Oscar night — which is not in any way a suggestion that their work doesn’t deserve it. I’m strictly playing horse-race analyst here.

Still, in the categories where the Globes have only five nominees, they have a strong predictive record. Look at the best director category: Woody Allen, George Clooney, Michel Hazanavicius (of “The Artist”), Alexander Payne and Martin Scorsese. Now, Clooney’s name is a pretty big surprise on that list; I’d have expected to see David Fincher or Steven Spielberg instead. But it’s a highly plausible list. Ditto for the screenplay category, where the nominated films are “Midnight in Paris,” “The Ides of March,” “The Artist,” “The Descendants” and “Moneyball.”

There are a few things we can say with reasonable clarity, some positive and some negative. On the positive side, “The Artist” is for real. As weird as it still seems that a black-and-white silent film by a French director could be a leading Oscar contender, it clearly is. “The Ides of March” and “Moneyball,” two films that did not do well at the box office and got mixed reviews, are clearly still in the money in various categories. Ryan Gosling — who was nominated for best actor for both “Ides” and “Crazy, Stupid, Love” — was not poisoned for awards voters by his year of ridiculous media overexposure. Pretty much all the major actors we were expecting to see nominated are here: Clooney, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jean Dujardin, Michael Fassbender, Glenn Close, Viola Davis, Meryl Streep, Tilda Swinton.

On the other side of the ledger, it sure looks like Fincher’s “Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” is out of the running for major Oscars, even before regular people get to see it. Rooney Mara got an acting nomination (and she deserves one), but the film was otherwise ignored. This may be reading tea leaves too closely, but I get the feeling that neither Spielberg’s “War Horse” nor Scorsese’s “Hugo,” the two biggest old-time Oscar-bait movies of the year, exactly wowed the Globes voters. Neither got any acting nominations (I’m startled to see Ben Kingsley overlooked for “Hugo”) and Spielberg was left off the directors’ list. Overall, it remains a mixed-up and unsettled year in the awards race; I think “The Descendants” remains the front-runner, with “The Artist” and “Midnight in Paris” just behind.

Let's hope! I've got all my fingers and toes crossed. Tried crossing my eyes too, but that just made me dizzy!

nice pic mel!!!

I agree about the Best Director Oscar I think he would really like that too.

I'd like him to win for best actor. He worked 30 years as an actor. The Oscar for actor in leading role would be a great highlight before "finishing" his acting career. This is probably his last chance. Due to his age, there won't be many offers for leading roles anymore.
But he has plenty of time to win an Oscar for directing - the next 30 years. I just hope I won't see him with a 32-year-old ex-stripper or so at the academy awards when he is 80. LOL

AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGG!!! I just had to wash my eyes out with bleach!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 32 y/o ex-stripper when he's 80!!!!!

Well, Mel as long as she knows how to push a wheelchair, George gets a free ride. LOL

I can push a wheelchair!!!! And I've been raised to respect my elders. Oh, that's right, I'm older than he is. OK, so he can push me!

ROFL Mel.

I read there is some kind of an award dinner going on tonight (Sunday). Does anyone know if it's true? Would love to see more pics or videos of G.

I looked in my TV Guide and I don't see anything that looks awardish. Maybe it's just a dinner type thing and we'll get pics later?

Hope so! Need my fix. LOL

Katie just posted a new thread. He's up for the Satellite Award which he's won once before (I put that on her new thread). It's at the Beverly Hilton tonight, but I still don't see it televised. Bummer!
