[Mr-K]

Usually I find these interesting.

I don't give a single shit this year.

[BerringerX]

Updated with winners.

Glad to see Rourke win for The Wrestler. He deserved it. Guess I need to see Slumdog. I've heard things about it, but I should probably judge for myself. Ledger winning was no surprise. I need to see John Adams as well.

[Othello Harrington]

Nobody fucking cares.

[kingoffighters]

All these award shows is like a guy sucking on his own cock and then congratulating himself for doing a great job.

[Rich]

slumdog millionaire was awesome

[Brand X]

The fact that both Tom Cruise and Robert Downey were nominated for 'Best Supporting Actor' in Tropic Thunder proves how terrible this years selections were. Hilarious movie, but no fucking way both should have ever been nominated (let alone either of them).

[Doc Holliday]

slumdog millionaire was awesome

[bbobb]

I finally got around to watching Slumdog. It was really freaking good, although I do still like The Wrestler a bit more.

[OGcritic]

The fact that both Tom Cruise and Robert Downey were nominated for 'Best Supporting Actor' in Tropic Thunder proves how terrible this years selections were. Hilarious movie, but no fucking way both should have ever been nominated (let alone either of them).

But it's the Golden Globes, and they have a specific category for comedy. What actors in a comedy would you have chosen over those two? There is no way in hell either of those will be nominated for an Oscar, but honestly, when you have a specific category for best supporting actor in a comedy, where do your options lay? Those two were the best choices, and Robert Downey should have won (to be fair though, I haven't seen In Bruges).

EDIT: Rather than delete my whole post even though it's moot. I now see that for supporting roles they don't differentiate genres. NEVERMIND.
