Golden Globe snubs: Which one do you take personally?

Dec 13, 2007, 09:11 AM | by Mandi Bierly

Categories: 'Desperate Housewives', 'Heroes', 'Lost', 'Ugly Betty', Film, Golden Globes, Television, Water cooler, Whining

Russell_l The Golden Globe nominations are in, and while we await expert analysis from EW's Ken Tucker and Dave Karger (keep an eye on our Golden Globes hub), tell us: Which snub hit you the hardest? There's a lot to choose from. For starters:
• Keri Russell (pictured) for Waitress: Would it have been too much to include her alongside Juno's Ellen Page? No room for two quirky indie pregnancy comedies at the HFPA inn?
Into the Wild: The only love the film got was for Original Score and Song. Sorry, Emile Hirsch and Sean Penn.
Ugly Betty: Only America Ferrera got a nod. Somewhere, a vacationing Michael Slezak is weeping for Vanessa Williams.
The Sopranos: Edie Falco was the sole nominee. At least the network dramas — Lost, Heroes, Desperate Housewives, 24 — weren't the only ones missing from the top TV category. Which leads us to another question:
Which snubs were actually warranted?

Into the Wild should get some recognition by the head honchos of the movie industry, because it's a great story about man escaping his hectic world for a more natural existence. Echoes Henry David Thoreau very closely.

In my opinion, "Into the Wild" was the most creative, original and moving film of the year. The movie, Sean Penn and Hal Holbrook, not to mention all the others, should have been nominated. I guess you have to be among the elite Hollywood club to get a nod. I'm disappointed and disgusted.

I'm shocked that Wentworth Miller did not get nominated for best Actor in a drama series nor did Prison Break for best drama series. The writer's strike is not the only crappy thing going on here...obviously the nomination process is also just as crappy.

Briannab Sun, Jan 13, 2008 at 12:09 AM EST

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHERE IS 24!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yea i know it was not 24's best year, but 24's worst year is another shows best year. :D no show could EVER compare to 24. 24 is THE BEST SHOW ON TELEVISION!! I cannot believe it did not even get nominated. It was still REALLY good, eventhough it didn't have the highest ratings, it was AMAZING, and still kept everyone on the edge of their seats. AHHHH im pulling my hair out here. These nominees are not good. Kiefer Sutherland is the best actor on tv...that's not fair to the cast. Someone should have got recognized.

Excuse me, but where is the nod for "Friday Night Lights"? This a fabulous show with brilliant actors. This show appeals to all ages. What is going on with these judges?

Flor de Maria Perez Sat, Jan 12, 2008 at 04:25 PM EST

SCRUBS ¿Where are you? I so sad, Scrubs is a fun and amazing serie.

Tania Sat, Jan 12, 2008 at 12:55 PM EST

Gossip girl,Heroes and supernatural should be nominated!!!! ...where are them?????

Ronnie Boo Kitty Fri, Jan 11, 2008 at 05:38 PM EST

THE BEST SHOW ON TV IS UGLY BETTY, HANDS DOWN. THE ENTIRE CAST HAS IT'S OWN PERSONAL SHTICK WHICH IS VERY FUN AND VERY ENTERTAINING. NO KILLING, NO VIOLENCE, NO BLOOD, FOR THE MOST PART
SO, I AM VERY HAPPY THAT THERE IS A SHOW ON THE AIR IN THE YEAR 2008, THAT CAN ENTERTAIN US ALL. PLEASE WATCH AND REWARD THESE PEOPLE. THEY ARE HOLDING US TOGETHER. AS A GROUP AND AS A NATION. I BOW TO YOU!!!!!!!!!

roger chew Fri, Jan 11, 2008 at 03:52 AM EST

where the hell are heroes, prison break, smallville, friday night lights, and ugly betty? the only one worthy of winning the tv category in the shortlist is greys anatomy. this is nonsense. james spader, wentworth miller and masi oka for male actor plse. katherine heigl will so dominate the supporting actress category. kristin kreuk's portrayal of lana lang from being a goodie goodie girl to a badass character on smallville should receive some recognition too. not forgetting kate walsh's character on private practice. the jump from greys anatomy to the spin off IS impressive isnt it?

JOE Thu, Jan 10, 2008 at 07:19 PM EST

Where the hell is Kery Russell, brilliant performance!!, Where is Heroes in Tv???

Sara Fri, Jan 4, 2008 at 07:30 PM EST

Jane Krakowski was robbed. Seriously.

Brent Thu, Jan 3, 2008 at 03:24 PM EST

"Margot at the Wedding" was completely overlooked. Electrifying, nerve-rattling writing, directing, and acting. Nicole Kidman already has three Golden Globes, but for my money, she deserved another one for "Margot". The omission of "Once" is stomach-churning. Apparently, to make the Best Picture (Musical or Comedy) list, you have to be overblown ("Hairspray") and completely unsubtle (I'm looking at you, "Across the Universe"). Tender, gorgeously understated musicals never make the cut. Keri Russell had me in tears through half of "Waitress," a much more unforced look at unwanted pregnancy than "Juno" (still funny, but a little overrated). And at some point, these people are going to have to take notice of Todd Haynes. He's only one of the most daring, inventive, emotional, MAGICAL directors alive today...its a travesty that he's not nominated. One to cry buckets of rain over, in fact.

Jennifer Tue, Jan 1, 2008 at 11:02 AM EST

Friday Night Lights was totally overlooked. I just don't understand the whole nomination process. FNL is by far the best acted and best written show on televsion! Maybe the HFP just doesn't get such an all american show. Still, I have a difficult time believing they are that narrow minded! Plus, Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton got totally robbed! Their acting is beyond great. Plus, they are the most believable married couple on televsion!

none Sun, Dec 30, 2007 at 07:55 AM EST

steve zahn anyone? or christian bale? rescue dawn in general.

and honestly, ellen page's performance is overhyped. it's only because juno is such a indie darling. it's like how abigail breslin got nominated. at least breslin's performance got in on pure memorableness.

page's performance was totally unfunny. she has no comedic timing and there was nothing extraordinary about her performance.

Kevinn Sat, Dec 29, 2007 at 04:17 PM EST

Knocked Up-ROBBED!
Heroes-I understand that.
DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES?!?! Dana Delany is AMAZING. Felicity Huffman fantastic! Eva Longoria?!
Grey's Anatomy-SARA RAMERIZ (I spelled that wrong)!? Chandra Wilson
Michelle Pfeiffer for Hairspray!

Susan Wed, Dec 26, 2007 at 11:26 AM EST

I am surprised James Spader has been snubbed. He is a wonderful actor and his portrayal of Alan Shore in Boston Legal is wonderful. He has sustained a high level of performance that never falters, he is truly a consumate actor that deserves recognition.

Vicky Wed, Dec 26, 2007 at 09:53 AM EST

I guess July is too far back for the Globe nominators to remember...Imelda Staunton as Dolores Umbridge in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Sure it was a cartoonish role, but one she nailed perfectly. Now that I have seen her in it, I cannot imagine anyone better in the role.

Robert S Wed, Dec 26, 2007 at 06:48 AM EST

I agree about Katee Sackhoff. She is amazingly talented & always rivetting - way too good for Bionic Woman. If Battlestar was on a commercial network, she would have won a truckload of awards by now, along with many of the other cast members. It's no coincidence that almost every reviewer for Bionic Woman panned the show and the lead but thought Sackhoff was great.

The cast from SVU and Criminal Intent are also consistently outstanding. Vincent D'Onofrio is brilliant.

Josh Mon, Dec 24, 2007 at 08:19 PM EST

Before the Devil knows you're dead

Why didjn't "Gossip Girl" get any nods?
To me that is the best show on TV.

bLake Lively and Leighton Meester are fantastic actresses!!


Give Gossip Girl Nominations!!!!!!

I know nobody's really into "ER" anymore except the people who've been watching it since the beginning. But, despite the fact that the show, while still pretty good, may not quite be up to award-winning quality, certain actors/actresses are. Basically I'm talking about Maura Tierney. She's been doing amazing work for the last 7 or so years and gotten little to no recognition for it. Even if people don't care about "ER", they should care about Maura, because she's working her a** off giving incredible, believable, moving performances every week. Also, I used to love "Weeds", but it wasn't that good this past season. If anyone this season deserves a nomination, it's Elizabeth Perkins.

Sun, Dec 23, 2007 at 01:39 PM EST

good moves by the gg:
1) no heroes is justified...the writing is terrible!
2)nod to Mary-Louise Parker of Weeds...great show
3)all the juno love
4)gosling for lars and the real girl
5) jolie for a might heart..she is worthy

bad, bad moves:
1) great debaters! COME ON!
2) as many have already said, Into the Wild is one of the(if not THE) best movies this year. Hirsch is heart warming, tragic, and everything good in that movie...penn and hirsch got jyped big time
3)margot at the wedding should have gotten something! a nod to kidman or leigh or best pic... anything!
4) once...it is exactly what a musical is supposed to be
5)russel crowe, where are you?
6)Im Not There definately deserves to be there. best pic perhaps?

overall im just a bit comfused...why have so many best pic noms if you dont nom the best pics? how is it that they couldn't decide between No County and the Great Debaters?

all the bad choices begs the question; did they watch half the movies this year?

' Margot At The Wedding ' was one of the best dark comedies I have seen in years. I think David Denby of the New Yorker really hurt this film with his unjust review. it's too bad critics have such power over the masses. Nicole Kidman and the amazing Jennifer Jason Leigh do incredible work in Noah Baumbach's new film. They both deserve nomminations, esp. JJL, who has been overlooked one too many times.

bailey Thu, Dec 20, 2007 at 11:35 AM EST

i'm surprised there were not more nods for weeds. at least kevin nealon should've received something. definitely disappointing.

Nancy Thu, Dec 20, 2007 at 03:50 AM EST

Last year when James Spader won for Best Actor in a Drama, I almost cried.
How ANYONE can compare him with HUGH LAURIE is beyond me.
HUGH LAURIE is TOTALLY AMAZING in HOUSE and deserves every award given out for his catagory.
Let's right last year's wrong.
This year vote for HUGH LAURIE!!

WE LOVE YOU, HUGH!!

ashlee Wed, Dec 19, 2007 at 04:25 PM EST

umm.. the office deserves soo much more. come on. im devastated.

Charles Wed, Dec 19, 2007 at 09:29 AM EST

No "Once" is a joke - the Golden Globes, which specifically has a Best MUSICAL category, would be the perfect platform for this movie.

Alos - no love for Tommy Lee Jones! What about Keri Russell's perf in "Waitress," "Dexter," Kristen Bell in "Veronica Mars," James Gandolfini, Scott Frank's screenplay for "The Lookout," Sarah Polley's direction in "Away From Her" - are you with me, everybody, in thinking that this mysterious Hollywood Foreign Press doesn't even see half the films and TV shows?

Mikael M Wed, Dec 19, 2007 at 05:30 AM EST

Katee Sackhoff - unbelievably compelling in Battelstar Galactica. She must be among the most naturally gifted actors of her generation. Was in about 5 scenes in Bionic Woman & stole the show. She was the only thing about the show that was almost univerally praised.

BSG is almost finished - someone get this chick onto some meaty projects quick smart!

T Tue, Dec 18, 2007 at 11:39 PM EST

I agree with the person who asked what the heck Christopher Meloni has to do to get nommed for a GG or an Emmy (that *one* Emmy nom was definitely not enough!). He is ridiculously good on SVU, year in and year out. But speaking of SVU, here's the real unbelievable sunb: no Mariska?!!? Seriously? She has been *killing* this season, and I only become more impressed every time I watch her. I mean, Patricia Arquette instead?! Is Medium even still on the air..? I'm still in shock from that one. There is something just wrong about that... anyway, much love to Chris and Mariska!!

Gail Tue, Dec 18, 2007 at 03:49 PM EST

No Once???!!!!
How is that possible? What were they thinking? Were they thinking? This is a major crime of omission.

Melody Tue, Dec 18, 2007 at 03:01 PM EST

Nothing from "Waitress"??? There were at least four good nominees for acting, and it should have been up for at least one of the picture awards. Also, what is up with the snubs of Chi McBride and Kristen Chenowith or Swoosie Kurtz from "Pushing Daisies"??? They make the show what it is, and both Anna Friel or Lee Pace do not deserve nods. What on Earth are these people thinking?

drella66 Tue, Dec 18, 2007 at 02:52 PM EST

I thought the Assisination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford was the best movie of the year...and LOST is the best show on TV, period!

Julie Mon, Dec 17, 2007 at 08:51 PM EST

No Into The Wild...and the Great Debaters? No Knocked Up, No Waitress...and Hairspray and Across the Universe? If they're going for Hollywood factor, I would rather see Keri Russell there than John Travolta. If they're going for decent films...then they must be crazy.

joey Mon, Dec 17, 2007 at 06:04 PM EST

knocked up and superbad got screwed over... at least a supporting actor nod or something would be alright, but as far as im concerned, the biggest travesty here was how tommy lee jones wasnt nominated for ANYTHING this year. his performance in no country for old men was great, and i think he got robbed

Diane Conzo Mon, Dec 17, 2007 at 10:57 AM EST

This is disgraceful that ROME was not nominated for anything. That mini-series was the BEST by far of any series I have ever watched. The acting, the story, the music, the costumes.

I'm dissappointed that Dexter and Saving Grace didn't get nominated even though their leads got a nod in the best actor/actress category.

Also, where are Vanessa Williams, Kristen Chenoweth and Elizabeth Perkins in the supporting actress category, they've been shunned. That's just sad. :(

GeorgiaYankeesFan Mon, Dec 17, 2007 at 12:31 AM EST

Across the Universe bagged a nomination over Once. What a joke!!! You'd figure the Hollywood Foreign Press Assoc would look out for a foreign movie but I guess the HFPA will do anything to get at least one Beatle (or Yoko) to the show.

anonymous Mon, Dec 17, 2007 at 12:24 AM EST

I just saw Juno, and while it is cute, and Ellen Page did a wonderful job, Keri Russell should have received a nomination! Her portrayal was natural and unforced. It is a shame that Hollywood so quickly forgets brilliant performances from earlier in the year.

phoebe Sun, Dec 16, 2007 at 09:12 PM EST

Damian Lewis. I know not too many people are watching, but watching him is a master class in "less is more." The scripts and cinematography are really compelling.

Becky Sun, Dec 16, 2007 at 02:47 PM EST

No love for Into the Wild???

Wha..???

I am just at a loss for words.

L Rey Sun, Dec 16, 2007 at 01:19 PM EST

Alright, Once, it's been said. But with Hairspray and ACROSS THE UNIVERSE (which was universally panned) in the best musical...that's unacceptable. I mean hell, even if you put it in drama--The Great...Debaters? Michael Clayton? At least give it some best song love! Fools.

mmp Sun, Dec 16, 2007 at 12:09 PM EST

It seems as though award shows always snub the shows on broadcast tv with the lower nielsen ratings. No love for the great new comedic shows on the CW, Aliens in America and Reaper. Aliens in America I guess deserves more for writing at the emmys, but the acting on Reaper (I forget the name of the guy who plays the devil) is great and deserves some award noms.

Ken A. Sun, Dec 16, 2007 at 11:36 AM EST

I agree that Keri Russell should have been nominated for "Waitress"; but the biggest shock for me was the snub of "Into the Wild"...for my money, it's still the best and most moving film I've seen so far this year. What a travesty not to even nominate the film, actor, supp.actor, supp.actress, or director. Have totally lost respect for HFPA.

matt Sun, Dec 16, 2007 at 09:27 AM EST

What about The Office?

Christy Sun, Dec 16, 2007 at 01:11 AM EST

thats right, what the F**K, no nomination for NICOLE KIDMAN for Margot at the wedding??? That was the most uninhibited and freeing performance of the year. I wish they would recognize such a rare performance in a time where actress won't that those kind of risks and Nicole Kidman does.

Christy Sun, Dec 16, 2007 at 01:11 AM EST

john Sun, Dec 16, 2007 at 12:57 AM EST

Ok, so the Golden Compass is not doing so well at the box office, that doesn't change the fact that Nicole Kidman did a great performance, she was the most interesting characterin the movie, and was because of how she managed to bring depth and darkness to it. But even worse is her absence for Best Actress for margot at the wedding. she was simply amazing.
it takes balls to play a character that is so unlikeable and still give a hell of a performance, that was truely something special that hopefully the oscars wont over look.

Corvella Sat, Dec 15, 2007 at 10:28 PM EST

why isn't James Spader nominated? wtf people! are u mad???? Boston Legal is a laugh-riot fest with Spader and Shatner, which btw... compliment each other fabulously! Get real and WAKE up!

TJ Sat, Dec 15, 2007 at 08:47 PM EST

Vanessa Williams' snub for Ugly Betty is particularly galling. TV has not seen a better, more vicious villainess in years. Seems to me that Hollywood is intent on elevating the young, pretty, blonde, actresses (Katherine Heigl, Jamie Pressley?!?!) over veterans like Williams who are delivering the real quality work.

Emmett Grady Sat, Dec 15, 2007 at 08:34 PM EST

Where is the lovin for McLovin? Christopher Mintz Plasse should have been nominated for best supporting actor in Superbad. Knocked Up also deserves to be in there. It will probably be nominated for a stupid reason so that they can have two movies about unplanned pregnancy for the Oscars. Tommy Lee Jones was great in both of his films.

Javier Sat, Dec 15, 2007 at 02:21 PM EST

I think Knocked Up should have been up for best picture comedy and Heigl, Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann for acting awards. Where's the love for comedies? As fun as Hairspray was there's no way it's better than Knocked Up. Also overlooked: Javier Bardem, Tommy Lee Jones (twice)

Elizabeth Sat, Dec 15, 2007 at 02:18 PM EST

I was utterly and quite surprised that "Into the Wild" was snubbed by the Golden Globes. But then again, look what the Golden Globe members consists of...

To David Sat, Dec 15, 2007 at 11:49 AM EST

You are upset that Marion Cotillard was nominated for Musical/Comedy -- to answer your question, yes I'm sure it is because her character sings. That makes it a musical in HFPA eyes. And her chances of winning the Globe are much increased from this category, so I'm guessing she's delighted.

Evan Sat, Dec 15, 2007 at 11:27 AM EST

I also think that The Golden Compass got jipped. It got amazing reviews. If Kidman wasn't nominated for Compass, she should be nominated for Margot at the Wedding. That is the funniest Indie comedy. And Jen Garner got rippped off too. She deserved a Best Supporting Actress nod for Juno. God, whats wrong with the HFPA!

Evan Sat, Dec 15, 2007 at 11:22 AM EST

John Cusack was RIPPED OFF BIG TIME!! He scored pretty good reviews for Grace is Gone and they give that nomination to Daniel Day-Lewis? He had his momnet of fame for My Left Foot. Cusack needs an Oscar and a Golden Globe. He is the BEST!!!!!

Megan Sat, Dec 15, 2007 at 10:54 AM EST

What about Gone Baby Gone? That movie was amazing.

Ellen Pompeo deserved a nom more than Sally field this time around she should have been included in the SEVEN nominations there. SEVEN???? common thats a joke.


Sandra Oh and Chandra Wilson even Sara Ramirez deserve it much much more than Katherine Heigl ever does. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN???

echo Sat, Dec 15, 2007 at 04:49 AM EST

No nominations for The Shield? Seriously? I'm too ticked off about that to think of any other snubs! Those responsible for the nominations need to be introduced to "The Mackey Method"!

Chris Sat, Dec 15, 2007 at 01:36 AM EST

Okay, is it me or has Russell Crowe been blacklisted from receiving any award nominations??? He is in my opinion the best actor around today. Yet, he has not gotten any award nods since "A Beautiful Mind". He has been in two of the best movies this year, yet his name is not even mentioned as a snub??? I am so tired of arrogant, snobby critics, and arrogant actors in the industry dictating what is good, and what is not. Heck, I even think "Transformers" and "Harry Potter" should have been listed as two of the best movies this year over all the boring movies that have been nominated for Golden Globes!!!

IT is an outrage!...La Vie En Rose got jack squat...Unbelievable. If you saw that film, one of the few outstanding films this year (the others No Country for Old Men and Juno), then you know how superb it is. And come on...Atonement? Seriously? Haven't we seen this movie before in some slight variation on PBS's Masterpiece Theatre? I would think that the English Patient would have kept wet the Golden Globes appetite for British melodrama for at least another ten more years. Keira Knightly is all jawbone and eyebrow by the way. If she gets Oscar nominated and Marion Cotillard doesn't, then we'll know how worthless these awards are.

Well, it's worse than a snub: Marion Cotillard nominated for Best Actress in a COMEDY OR MUSICAL?? For 'LA VIE EN ROSE'?? Are they insane, or just tragically simple-minded? Does harrowing drama about a singer automatically become a Musical when it includes the singer's songs? Apparently if you are the HFPA, it does. (unless, of course, they consider the film a Comedy....? see "Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind") This year's supreme idiotic miscarriage-of-justice... and there are always a few. Yeesh, what a joke.

It seems that snubbing shows like Friday Night Lights, The Shield, Battlestar Galactica, and The Wire is to be expected from these "award shows." I was at least expecting a nom for Kyle Chandler, possibly Connie Britton. How silly of me. Also, no Ugly Betty? What? This season has been even better, and no disrespect to America Ferrera, but there have been far better and hilarious performances (Vanessa Williams, Michael Urie, Becki Newton). Dexter should've been nominated for Best Drama. And where were the Judd Apatow films? I really can't make much judgement for the films because most don't even come around here, which just sucks.

I was so upset in the snubbing of "Once" that I completely forgot my TV: No "Battlestar Galactica", "Friday Night Lights", nor Chi McBride nor Kristen Chenoweth?? All are relevatory in their own rights. For shame!

DON CHEADLE...... Talk to Me What the heck??????

Randy Fri, Dec 14, 2007 at 06:35 PM EST

Why is that quality TV series' that realistically deal with adolescent issues tent to get ignored until it's too late? There was MY SO-CALLED LIFE in the 80s, FREAKS AND GEEKS in the 90s, and now FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS.

FNL is one of the best written and acted on televison - period! The Globes should have given it some of the recognition it deserves. It will be a true shame to see it fade away.

Suzi Fri, Dec 14, 2007 at 05:30 PM EST

...forgot - Dexter also should have been nominated - not the horrendous wreck that is Californication. Still so disappointed about FNL. Guess the HFP is blind. Knocked Up, Rescue Dawn/Christian Bale, The Lookout, Keri Russel and Andy Griffith more glaring ommissions from the nominations. Probably won't watch this year - hope the Oscars do a better job.

"The Office" was brilliant last season; I've never seen something so outlandish ring so true. Each character is perfect -- just when you think you might not like one of them, they turn around and charm you with a bit of tenderness (Dwight and Michael are the best at this). The writing is sharp and there isn't a wink link in the cast. If you haven't seen the show, sit down for 2 or 3 episodes and it will suck you in. INSANE that it wasn't nominated...

Suzi Fri, Dec 14, 2007 at 04:51 PM EST

What were they thinking? It's great that so many cable series were recognized but what about Lost, Heroes and Friday Night Lights? All three of these are better than Grey's Anatomy and House. Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton were both excellent and should have received acting nominations as well.

Stephen Fri, Dec 14, 2007 at 03:20 PM EST

I am shocked, SHOCKED, that INTO THE WILD was not nominated for Best Picture because it IS THE BEST PICTURE! Wow, I am at a loss for words. The Golden Globe peeps really screwed up.

Derik Fri, Dec 14, 2007 at 03:15 PM EST

Once again, all of the ladies are groaning about katie heigl. And they say that gay men are catty...

Diane Fri, Dec 14, 2007 at 03:05 PM EST

WHERE IS INTO THE WILD?!? Emile Hirch deserved a nodd for "best actor", I can't believe "Into the Wild" was snubbed for best actor, director and motion picture. It's such a shame. I'm sad to not see Abbie Cornish for "best supporting actress", she was so good in Elizabeth: The Golden Age or how about "best actress" for "Candy"???? Though I am happy to see that "Atonement" was well recognized and that Amy Adams got a nodd for Enchanted.

SVU junkie Fri, Dec 14, 2007 at 02:20 PM EST

How many years does Christopher Miloni have to give superb performances on SVU before he's nominated (and wins) and emmy or golden globe?

Yea, let em give all the awards to washed up movie stars like Sally Field. Ugh.. I suppose "THEY LIKE HER.... THEY REEEELY LIKE HER!!!"
Puke.

nunya Fri, Dec 14, 2007 at 02:07 PM EST

the HFPA can vote for films that haven't come out yet ('charlie wilson's war' -- come on y'all know tom hanks is always kinda amazing in pretty much every role, and 'the great debaters', 'there will be blood' - hello daniel day-lewis!!) b/c they get screeners/ DVDs of these films.

hannah rieu Fri, Dec 14, 2007 at 02:00 PM EST

I can't believe that once again there are no nominations for Battlestar Galactica. The show is the best written and best acted on television, yet it's snubbed because it's science fiction. And seriously, what is all the hubbub about Katherine Heigl? I do not see any acting worthy of the attention she has been getting, not to mention the nominiations! She must've hired the right people, or has the Julia Roberts factor on people or something. It's not like she's ever acted a day in her life either.

Heather Fri, Dec 14, 2007 at 01:53 PM EST

While I'm thrilled that The Tudors snagged two nominations, I'm very peeved that both Natalie Dormer and Sam Neil were both snubbed. Rhys Meyers is a good actor, however, I thought that Dormer and Neil gave the show's best performances.
