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.

Eva & Tony slam infidelity claims
Eva Longoria and hubby Tony Parker have slammed rumours that the NBA star has cheated on the ‘Desperate Housewives’ actress.
The claims were made by model Alexandra Paressant, who said that Parker had slept with her in September, just two months after he and Longoria tied the knot in July this year.
However, both Eva and Parker are standing by each other and have denied there’s any truth to the rumours.
"I love my wife! She's the best thing in my life, and I have never been happier,” People mag quoted Parker, as saying.
Eva said: "Tony has been nothing short of the perfect husband."
Paressant said earlier that she met Parker for the first time at his wedding and sparks flew between them and eventually the two started exchanging saucy messages in September while Parker was in Paris at the Park Hyatt Hotel.
They then slept together, and continued seeing each other night after night in Paris until he left to San Antonio a short time later.
She further revealed that some of Parker’s sexual fantasies were not fulfilled by his wife Eva that led to the fling.
"We had room service. He said that Eva, sexually speaking, does not want to do certain things. She does not want to make love in front of a mirror, does not like [a] certain position and thinks that sperm gives acne," US weekly quoted Paressant, as saying.
Longoria's rep Liza Anderson had earlier called the allegations "completely, 100 percent false and untrue."
