It makes movie sense that when nominations for the Golden Globes awards are announced this morning, you'll find the eventual Academy Award winners on the list. After all, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association gives itself two chances to get things right, dividing dramas and musicals/comedies into separate categories.
So, suggest the prognosticators at the Los Angeles Times, here are 10 movies likely to be among the nominees:
- Dramas: "American Gangster," "Atonement," "The Great Debaters," "Michael Clayton" and "No Country For Old Men," the critics' favorite so far.
- Comedies/musicals: "Across the Universe," "Enchanted," "Hairspray," "Juno" and "Sweeney Todd," which doesn't open until next week.
If one of those movies does not win the Oscar, it will be judged an upset.
And the acting nominations will include most of the big names -Clooney, Crowe, Jolie, Blanchett - and enough new ones - Ellen Page ("Juno"), Jim Sturgess ("Across the Universe") to keep things interesting.
After all, the popularity of the Golden Globes is in direct proportion to the ratings of its awards ceremony Jan. 13 on NBC.
