2007 Golden Globes - Discussion

Oooh..wow that's tough. I don't know if Beyonce will even get it. I think TC deserves it but AB and MS have a very good chance of getting it also..
 
jackiehydelover Haha, thanks. :D Oh, I totally agree. Maybe the arguing helped spark the relationship!

Nayden I just think imitation sucks because everyone can imitate, especially top notch actors. I know that a lot of people play Ray and Capote, it's not Oscar worthy, in my eyes.
 
Okay who did Leo bribe to get 2 noms. I think he's still pissed for losing in Jamie

The Queen will clean up I'm sure and this time it's Helen's turn at Oscar gold

I hope Bobby wins best Picture
 
Jamie Foxx imitated Ray Charles.

I think when it comes to biopics, it's all about who can BE THE MOST LIKE that person. Not so much making it their own because how can you make someone else's life your own:look:

It's all about imitation.
 
:lol: Yeah. I was wrong about Dreamgirls, though. Another acting award for the film.

Wow, Eddie Murphy. :clap: I'm actually very happy for him. It was a tough category... I was rooting for Mark Walhberg and Brad Pitt but Eddie winning makes me happy all the same.


Joaquin Phoenix.... :sigh: What a dream!
 
I have to say a lot of those movies I haven't seen. I only saw The Queen and Devil Wears Prada. They were both great movies so I'll root for them
 
Meryl Streep even made a point about this in her acceptance speech. She nailed it on the nose when she said if a mainstream theater (AMC; Regal) isn't showing a movie... DEMAND they show it because there IS an audience out there who wants to see smart and interesting "art house" pictures (what international movies are pigeonholed into) even if they don't make that much money.

The MPTOAA (Motion Picture Theaters Owners Association of America) is in-bed with the major Hollywood studios (obviously) as well as the MPAA (the ratings board). If they feel a film won't make a lot of money they will find ways to kill it... And by killing I mean limiting its distribution and or giving it an unfavorable rating (NC-17) just so a lot of uneducated parents will automatically think the film is "foreign trash with a lot of sex and nudity" and not let their kids (and thereby parents of other children) go see it.

Hollywood has a huge bias for marketing and producing films for the teen demographic and the PG-13 rating. We have a hug discussion going on about this on the "This Film is Not Yet Rated" thread if you care to take a look.



Yes and no.

Yes because most of the films coming out of Hollywood aren't that good and adhere to the PG-13, teen bias discussed above. Most of the more mature, adult-oriented subject matter is in foreign films... Like The Queen and The Last King of Scotland. You have the occasional rarities like "The Departed" and "Blood Diamond", but the majority of Hollywood films are not intended for persons over the age of 21.

No because they honor films and TV no matter the country of origin. If anything, you could say they are biased against the Indian and Asian film industries because these are never included because all they focus on is North America and Western Europe.
 
I can't believe that Leo with 2 nominations didn't win. :eek: On the other hand I'm happy for Hugh Laurie and Grey's.
Oh and I totally love Kyra Sedgwick in "The Closer". :love:
 
Really surprised that The Da Vinci Code got snubbed along with Nip/Tuck and Deadwood.


I'm rooting for Departed and I hope they walk away with at least Best Picture Drama, Best Director for Martin Scorecese and Best Actor for Leonardo DiCaprio.

For Best Comedy/Musical I hope its Borat but won't be stunned if Dreamgirls wins.

As for other movie actors I'm picking Johnny or Sacha to win for Best Actor in the Comedy/Music category. Helen Mirren to win for Actress in Drama for the Queen and Toni Collette to win for Best Actress Comedy for her role in Little Miss Sunshine. As for Supporting Actor and Actress I'm picking Ben Affleck for Hollywoodland and Jennifer Hudson for Dreamgirls.

For best Animated Film I hope Happy Feet wins.

As for TV I'm rooting for Lost to win Best Drama and Evangeline Lilly to win for Best Actress in Drama.

I hope Tony Shalhoub wins again for Monk. I hope Masi Oka wins for Heroes since I love that show now. I'm also rooting for Bill Paxton to win.
 
Collateral was a great movie. Seeing Tom Cruise as a sociopathic hitman was awesome.

I saw The Last King of Scotland today and Forrest Whitaker definately deserved his Golden Globe. Leo is gonna have some trouble come Oscar night.
 
I totally agree. Pulling for Little Miss Sunshine here and I have a feeling Babel is going to win Best Picture.
 
Well Beyonce didn't win so you don't need to feel bad lol.

I really wanted Grey's Anatomy people to win. So far a lot of the winners have been surprises to me.
 
Here's Beyonce's category.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE - COMEDY OR MUSICAL
ANNETTE BENING — RUNNING WITH SCISSORS
TONI COLLETTE — LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE
BEYONCE KNOWLES — DREAMGIRLS
MERYL STREEP — THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA
RENEE ZELLWEGER — MISS POTTER
 
Kate lost to Helen Hunt at the Oscars(Don't even get me started on that one! Probably one of the biggest mistakes the Academy ever made in my opinion)

Yeah--Reese looked way skinny! I think she chose the bold color for a reason--a way of stepping out and saying look at me I'm hot and single. But not so much with the "Hot".
 
:clap: :yay: Someone agrees with me! You are a ROCKSTAR ;) My now boyfriend wanted PSH to win thought he was great and blah blah blah... Many arguments ensued... I'm surprised we started dating :lol:
 
Collateral wasn't that great, IMO. It is a typical action-drama, shoot'em up.

Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx can act, no doubt... But that particular story isn't something that requires a lot of research or throwing yourself into the part like a biopic does.
 
mattia - How could I have forgotten Ed Norton? I'm very disappointed about that too. hHe was so incredible in The Illusionist and I'm hearing the same about Painted veil.

Totally agree about FNL. :nod:

Nick Cage was pretty teriffic in WTC.

tao - That's true........I think Ryan will get a nom come Oscar time.
 
I was extremely diappointed The Office lost and very surprised, but I had been hearing Ugly Betty upset talk for awhile so I was prepared.

I was happy for Scorsese too!

Agree about Clint, Helen, and Meryl. :nod:

America made me cry.......she's so sweet.
