Can it be? A year of Golden Globe nominations without any flagrantly bizarre selections? Sure, there are some I disagree with - no way Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs deserves a nomination - but on the whole this list actually makes a fair bit of sense. Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker - fresh off awards from the New York and LA critics - is up for the bigs and while I'm disappointed Jeremy Renner didn't get nominated for his performance in the film I can't really argue with the ones who did.
The happy surprise of the list? Sebastian Silva's La Nana getting a nod for best foreign language. My response is two fold: First, congratulations Seb, you totally deserve the recognition! Second, all of you sales agents who wouldn't even look at Silva's La Vida Me Mata when I brought it to you because it was in black and white ... well, maybe you might just want to reconsider that particular policy now, yes?

A link to those nominations would be nice, you lazy man you! Now I have to go Google...
Whoopsie. All better now.
Yeah, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs getting a nomination over Secret of the Kells is just awful.
