I still think Hollywood will give Milk an Oscar Best Pic nod. A Prop 8 statement. And, it's a good movie. It's not amazing, but it's good.
The noms and my comments (lucky you!)
Keep in mind that the Golden Globes are voted on by about 70 foreign journalists.
BEST PICTURE- DRAMA
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Frost/Nixon- The only one of the five I have seen.
The Reader- I actually read this book. (I'm assuming this is the jewish/nazi book)
Revolutionary Road
Slumdog Millionaire
BEST PICTURE- COMEDY/MUSICAL
Burn After Reading- I liked the movie, but I wouldn't say it was the best.
Happy-go-lucky- Not sure what this one is.
In Bruges- Funny movie...surprised it is receiving attention.
Mamma Mia- I just can't bring myself to watch Meryl skipping around in overalls.
Vicky Cristina Barcelona- Didn't see it.
BEST DIRECTOR
Danny Boyle, Slumdog Millionaire
Stephen Daldry, The Reader
David Fincher, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Ron Howard, Frost/Nixon- I didn't know he was the director when I watched it. Opie done good!
Sam Mendes, Revolutionary Road
BEST ACTOR- DRAMA
Leonardo DiCaprio, Revolutionary Road
Frank Langella, Frost/Nixon- I thought he sounded more like Sean Connery than Nixon
Sean Penn, Milk- He does good, sometimes he seems a little cartoonish (I think it's his face...he has large features) but there are many great scenes
