This morning the 66th Annual
Golden Globe nominees were announced in Los Angeles, and the biggest surprise nomination went to
James Franco for his performance as pot dealer Saul Silver in
Pineapple Express. He was nominated for “Best Actor in a Comedy.” Although he was hilarious in the movie, if he was going to get a nomination for a role, it should have been for his role in
Milk.
Tom Cruise got his groove back as he was nominated for “Best Supporting Actor” for his hilarious performance as a studio hauncho in
Tropic Thunder. Cruise is up against his co-star
Robert Downey Jr., who took on the role of Kirk Lazarus, the Australian star who struggled to get out of character.
Although Tom and Robert both did great in the flick, they have some tough competition as they will go against the late b>Heath Ledger for his role in the
The Dark Knight.
Looks like Hollywood’s golden couple
Brad Pitt and
Angelina Jolie will highlight the red carpet again this year, as they are both nominated. Brad Pitt was nominated for “Best Actor” in the drama
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Angelina Jolie for “Best Actress” in motion drama for
Changeling.
Teen sensation
Miley Cyrus scored a nomination for “Best Original Song” for
Bolt, and Pop Diva
Beyonce scored a nomination for “Once in a Lifetime” for
Cadillac Records.
There were some previous nominees that got their names on the ballot again this year like
Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz and
Sean Penn.
The big buzz at the nominee announcement was
Anne Hathaway, who scored a “Best Actress” nomination for her role in
Rachel Getting Married.
We were disappointed that
Cate Blanchett didn't get a nod for her role in 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' because we hear she's phenomenal in the movie. But before you shed a tear for you, keep in mind her movie scored the most nominations, leading the pack with 5 alongside
Doubt and
Frost/Nixon.
It was also announced that
Steven Spielberg will be honored for his work in Entertainment. He will receive the Cecil B. DeMille Award.
Rumor Willis will be Miss Golden Globe in true GG tradition since she is the daughter of two famous Hollywood stars
Demi Moore and
Bruce Willis.
The Golden Globes show will broadcast live on Sunday January 11, 2009 on NBC at 8pm. Check out the
nominations list and you tell us your thoughts on who will take home a Golden Globe.
