First Set of Movie Noms

Anyone who knows our family also knows we take our movies very seriously, even though Larry and I have unexpectedly stayed out of theaters for much of the year. We are Oscar-crazy so when the Golden Globe nominations come out, it's a big deal, because it's the very first clue at just what's got people buzzing in Hollywood.

Here's this year's selections and there's some noticeable oversights --- namely, for the movie nominations, not much acting kudos for Bobby and not a thing for All The King's Men. And for TV, sure, it's nice to see Hiro from Heroes nominated (actor Masi Oka) but what about Gregory Itzin as President Logan in 24 or Jean Smart as the first lady, same show. They were phenomenal last season.

But I do wish the Oscars would take a cue from the Golden Globes and create for the movies at least a best comedy or musical category so these movies get recognized, too.

I'm sure I'll be watching this year's Globes telecast scheduled for January 15, 2007 at 8 p.m. on NBC.
