Perhaps the biggest shock from Hollywood Foreign Press's announcement is the The Tourist's nomination for Best Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical; and it's two stars, Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp, with nods for their respective roles. The film received generally mixed reviews (MRQE Metric: 47). Perhaps, other more deserving films could take the spot. Burlesque, another bag of mixed love from critics (MRQE Metric: 48), also is nominated for the same category.
Other surprises include snubs for the Coen Brothers' epic remake, True Grit. Plus, Danny Boyle's travel thriller, 127 Hours, only got nods for Best Screenplay, and Best Actor, but not for Best Director or Best Picture - Drama.
Non-surprises include Inception and The Social Network battling for Best Screenplay, Best Director and Best Picture - Drama. Expect The Kids Are All Right to take home it's Golden Globe for Best Picture - Musical or Comedy. Plus, the Best Actor - Drama category is a battle royal with Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network), Colin Firth (The King's Speech), James Franco (127 Hours), and Mark Wahlberg (The Fighter) all up for the win.
The Golden Globes are often considered a good telling of what will get nominated--or win--the ultimate prize: the Academy Award. However, in recent years, the big winners tended to differ.
