And a thought on the TV Nominees:
Network TV got SCHOOLED by cable...This is the first time that cable's done better in the non-movie categories than the networks.

The complete absense of once and the absense of into the wild in the main catorgories was the biggest shockers for me...and i have to say dissappointments. 7 nominations in drama...i haven't seen the great debaters...american gangster i thought was flawed but i liked more than most so i'm fine with that....i liked eastern promises but it was even more flawed and has no place here in my opinion but they loved history of violence too..but that one deserved the love. Blanchetts nomination for elizabeth is horrible, its an ok performance in a horrible film.

They have a chimp typing 2 words a minute over at the HFPA website posting the nominees (have they ever heard of cut-and-paste?). So, probably sometime around 9 or shortly there after the song nods should be up.

a foxnews article lists a song each from Grace is Gone, Walk Hard and Into the Wild so far.

No PTA or Jonny Greenwood, and lots of love for American Gangster is a shame, my guess would have been that if anything, PTA would take a spot from another Best Picture film's director...could it be he's the odd director out...
Mike Nichols last film Closer was also all over the Globes and even got him a nom I'm pretty certain, so I am with anonymous, not likely to translate except maybe for Hoffman

From MSNBC:
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The British historical romance "Atonement" led the competition Thursday for the Golden Globes with seven nominations, among them best drama and acting honors for Keira Knightley and James McAvoy.
"Charlie Wilson's War" and "Michael Clayton" had the early lead with two nods each.
Julia Roberts and Philip Seymour Hoffman were nominated for supporting roles in "Charlie Wilson's War," and Tilda Swinton and Tom Wilkinson got the same for "Michael Clayton."
Among big contenders were the crime saga "No Country for Old Men" and the historical drama "There Will Be Blood." Both have been anointed by major critics groups.
The Golden Globes, the second-biggest film honors after the Academy Awards, has a category for best comedy or musical along with best drama, so Johnny Depp's bloody musical "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" could get an Oscar boost Thursday.
Days before the Globe nominations, Joel and Ethan Coen's "No Country for Old Men" was picked by the New York Film Critics Circle as the year's best film, while Paul Thomas Anderson's "There Will Be Blood" earned the same honor from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association.
Both groups picked "There Will Be Blood" star Daniel Day-Lewis as best actor, while the New York critics gave their supporting-actor prize to Javier Bardem for "No Country for Old Men."
Complicating this latest season of Hollywood backslapping is a strike by the Writers Guild of America, whose members walked off the job in November over their share of potential profits from programming distributed over the Internet.
Many awards shows are written under guild contract, so it remains unclear how the strike might affect the ceremonies.
Presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, a relatively small group of about 85 people who cover show business for overseas media, the Golden Globes nevertheless exert considerable influence on awards season.
Globe voters often call attention to smaller films and performances that might have gone overlooked come Oscar time.
In 1999, Annette Bening looked like the favorite to win the best-actress Oscar for "American Beauty" until Hilary Swank emerged as the winner for best dramatic actress at the Globes for "Boys Don't Cry." Swank went on to win the Oscar over Bening on Oscar night.
Three of the four acting winners for the 2006 Oscars — Helen Mirren for "The Queen," Forest Whitaker for "The Last King of Scotland" and Jennifer Hudson for "Dreamgirls" — won at the Globes beforehand. The only miss was Eddie Murphy, who won the supporting-actor Globe for "Dreamgirls" but lost at the Oscars to Alan Arkin for "Little Miss Sunshine."
Director Martin Scorsese also preceded his best-director Oscar win for "The Departed" with the same prize at the Globes.
While either the best drama or musical-comedy winner at the Globes often goes on to win the best-picture Oscar, the two awards shows have picked different films for their top honors in the last three years.
"Babel" was the dramatic winner and "Dreamgirls" was the musical or comedy champ a year ago at the Globes, but come Oscar night, Scorsese's "The Departed" triumphed.
Golden Globe winners will be announced Jan. 13, nine days before Oscar nominations. The Oscars will be presented Feb. 24.
The Globes feature 14 categories for film and 11 for television. Steven Spielberg will receive the Globes' Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement.

I think Charlie Wilson's War is a Globe fluke. It will probably get completely shut-out come awards night and will probably only get one or two noms at the Oscars.
It reminds me strongly of The American President (also written by Aaron Sorkin, btw). Got 5 Globe nods but got shut-out and only got in for Score at the Oscars.
