Brad Pitt: The awards season is getting underway with the release of the 2009 Golden Globe nominations.

Golden Globes Noms Boost Benjamin Button, Doubt and Frost/Nixon
Universal, Miramax and Paramount/Warners are heaving huge sighs of relief that the Golden Globes rewarded Frost/Nixon, Doubt and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button with five nominations apiece. The three films had been virtually overlooked by influential critics' groups in L.A. and N.Y. this week. Only Frost/Nixon and Benjamin Button were nominated in the Globes' best feature drama category, though, which tends to carry more weight than the comedy category. Doubt scored four acting noms, plus screenplay fo

And The Golden Globes Go To ... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
The Hollywood Foreign Press announced their Golden Globe nominations and they must be getting as old as the Emmy and Oscar nominators. Usually the Globes can be counted on for some fresh picks but this year the choices are pretty straight-laced and staid.

The nominees for the 2009 Golden Globes were announced this morning, and there were a few surprises.

Snap Judgment: The Golden Globes Nominations
A couple of hours have passed since the Golden Globe nominations were announced, and yet even with the extra time to mull things over, I still feel about the same as I did when I first saw the list: kinda baffled. They're all over the place! James Franco now has a major award nomination from a movie about pot! There's a category that's basically Neil Patrick Harris vs. HBO! Things are nutty this year. Here are a few of my snap judgments:First of all: This is going to be one awfully fun group of people drink

Golden Globes Emphasize Star Power With Film Nominations
CHICAGO– The Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced the nominees for The 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards this morning and jaws dropped at some of their choices and some of their exclusions.

The Golden Globes: Who Got Snubbed?
Even though the hedge-betting Golden Globes split their film and acting categories into Drama and Comedy, making it somehow possible for Tom Cruise to score a nomination for his unfunny cameo in Tropic Thunder, there's always bound to be a few oversights — so who/what got the shaft this year?Astonishingly, Milk— now considered one of the year's top two or three Oscar contenders — failed to score a Golden Globe nod for Best Picture or any of its actors besides Sean Penn, possibly due to the
