67th Annual Golden Globes Nominations (2009)

Film Festivals, Movie Awards, Conventions, TV News — By Nix on December 15, 2009 |

I know some of you out there still watch these film awards shows, which is why I’m even bothering with this post. Why, I haven’t a clue. Nothing of significance has won at these shindigs since, well, I can’t recall. So, for the two or three of you who still care about this stuff, here is your big list of 2009 nominees for the 67th Annual Golden Globes Awards, which as I recall, consist exactly of 12 greasy, homeless foreigners who decided, one day, to put a show together and get to schmooze with celebrities. Of course, that also didn’t stop them from creating a category for, ahem, “Best Foreign Film”. But hey, I have to give them some credit, at least they didn’t reflexively nominate anything from that crime against comedy called “Two and a Half Men”. Good God what an abomination.
