The Golden Globe Nominations

I don't know how I feel about these picks. Best Picture for Drama seem like reasonable picks minus the lack of a certain Batman movie. Best Picture for Comedy/Musical is terrible list. All the movies are average minus In Bruges which is a decent movie. Good Job for Kate Winslet scoring 2 nominations for the Reader and Revolutionary Road. I question the acting nominations for James Franco and Tom Cruise but those are just weak caatagories in general. Oh, and trust me, best Score? The Curious Case of Benjamin Button...its amazing.
