‘The Social Network’ & ‘The Fighter’ Right Behind With 6 Noms A Piece
The nominations for the 2011 Golden Globes have been announced by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and they pretty much betray the same populist and ill-informed thinking that usually seems to mark the People magazine-friendly awards.
“The King’s Speech” leads the pack with seven nominations, placing in almost every major category, with “The Fighter” and “The Social Network” following close behind with six nominations each. Somehow, Johnny Depp got nominated twice in the Best Actor In A Motion Picture (Musical Or Comedy) for his turns in the equally terrible films “Alice In Wonderland” and “The Tourist.” And in a category that should be near-identically reflected when the Razzie noms are announced, Best Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy features “Alice in Wonderland,” “Burlesque,” “The Kids Are All Right” (obvs the single film worthy of note here), “Red” and “The Tourist.”
Anyway, no big surprises here and the Golden Globes’ tendency to place star power first is in clear evidence. Noms after the jump.

Wow, those are really terrible noms.
I know they\’re dying to have J. Depp in the audience, but c\’mon!
The only REAL surprise for me (and a personal fave of 2010) is Olivier Assaya\’s Carlos getting some love in the mini-series and tv performance categories. (What, no Director category for TV / mini-series??)
The insufferable Temple Grandin will probably get the win.
Wouldn\’t expect less from a group of people who nominate Dame Judi Dench alongside Dame Jennifer Love Hewitt.
In foreign films: No Dogtooth? Uncle Bonmee? White Material? Undertow?
Did True Grit get the shaft becuase they didn\’t send screeners on time?
There\’s no documentary category?
So many questions… head hurting…
king\’s speech–sweep.
They should\’ve included Pilgrim and The Other Guys. I would\’ve even been ok with Due Date and/or Hot Tub Time Machine being on there. There\’s no excuses, they had plenty of options to choose from and they went with some shitty nominations (except for The Kids Are All Right).
Couldn\’t they have at least nominated Toy Story 3 in the comedy category to make it seem like there\’s actually competition? They could have included Scott Pilgrim too.
Wow! They should really just do away with the seperation of Drama from Musical/Comedy (but of course they won\’t because it\’s what seperates them from the Oscars) after seeing these noms. Even the acting noms for those categories are as horrendous as the nominated films save for the females in The Kids Are Alright. The Tourist is now a three time Golden Glode nominee, thanks HFPA.
