Maybe "honor" is too strong of a word. It is time to acknowledge the existence of the Golden Globes in 2009. There, that's much better. Suffice it to say, I am not that big of a Golden Glove fan this year. The GG's have always gone with a smaller, inde-type films and shows but this year just feels like they have gone too far. In a year in which the Godfather of superhero films (The Dark Knight) was released and one of the finest TV shows ever had its last season (The Wire), the Hollywood Foreign Press chose instead to include fare like The Reader and In Treatment.
That's just all kinds of unfair! But still, I am a culture nerd (or snob) and can't help but be invested in the results of said award show. After all, the Golden Globes are the last stop on the road to the Granddaddy of Them All: the Oscars
Here is who will be taking home statues on Sunday night. Winners are in bold and keep in mind this isn't always who I think SHOULD win but who WILL win.
