Well, I guess we all knew it had its work cut out for it to actually make a run for it in the Oscar BP category.

Oh, and Miley CIrus is nominated for best song. Wouldn't want to leave out a "rising Star", would they?

Lotta Doubt nominations and still no BP nod for that one.

Tom Cruise did his best work in years in Tropic Thunder, but this nomination is a joke considering the many who were overlooked.

Now I don't know what to think about its viability as a BP candidate. On the other hand, The Dark Knight didn't make any headway from these GG nods, either.

...and The Dark Knight, beyond Heath Ledger.

The Golden Globes become more irrelevant to the Oscar race each year - I presume the Tom Cruise nomination is for Tropic Thunder? Wasted spot, about as likely to make the Oscars as Julia Roberts last year.

And I guess I was right about Kristin Scott-Thomas after all.

Sort of the HFPA's "Brokeback moment," snubbing Milk nearly across the board and bending over backwards to clear a space for unnamed violently closeted superstar in the best supporting actor race.

What's this Tom Cruise supporting actor nomination for?

I guess the big surprise is Milk being shut out entirely aside from Sean Penn. And Revolutionary Road managed to get a little wind in the sails.

Tom Cruise is surprise.

No "Wall-E" for Comedy.

They loved "In Brudges."

Pitt and Jolie get noms.

No "W."

Um, I don't have time to unpack these at great length, but I will say "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA."

Boy does the HFPA muck up the entire Oscar Race.
