golden globes
The nominees for the Golden Globe awards were announced this morning. I don't want to jinx anything, so here is the entire "best actor, drama" list, for one of whom I will have my fingers crossed until January 16th (hey, a month's not all that long): Russell Crowe, "Cinderella Man"; Philip Seymour Hoffman, "Capote"; Terrence Howard, "Hustle & Flow"; Heath Ledger, "Brokeback Mountain"; David Strathairn, "Good Night, and Good Luck."You gotta figure Crowe won't win because he's too much of a "bad boy", Heath Ledger and Terrence Howard will do well but won't win because voters won't go out on those limbs until box office receipts prove it's all right (I might be very wrong there). So my guess is that it's between Philip Seymour Hoffman and David Strathairn, two serious fantastic really good actors.
I have a question, though. How did "The Squid and the Whale" get listed under "musical or comedy"? The misery and sadness that kids and parents experience before and during divorce aren't exactly laugh-a-minute hilarity. Unless Hollywood types are so far gone that they think feeling tense and sad is funny.
