Best Animated Film
Toy Story 3

I'm surprised Toy Story 3 didn't get more love. And even though I love Inception, I'm expecting The Social Network to pull down most of the awards. These ceremonies aren't usually that fond of sci-fi.

Globes are so supid.

The whole comedy/musical field is beyond a joke.

And there TV nominations, no supporting actor nominations for stuff like Boardwalk Empire/The Pacific. I don't even know how this happens.

Globes are so supid..

I think you'll find that pretty much every award show is a pointless exercise in self-aggrandizement.

I haven't really ever watched the Globes, but are they as bad as the Academy Awards are? Because those are pretty bad.

at least Gervais will serve as host

I love the Golden Globes. They teach me that almost all good movies are American ones.

i get the oscar but a globe just seems like it would be really uncomfortable.
