globe nominees reactions

Well the biggest thing we can take away from this morning's announcement of this year's Golden Globe nominees is that the "Comedy/Musical" category really is completely hopeless.  Though it seemed like it could be a fun one to predict, as they typically decide upon the most bizarre choices, this year there were ones that are likely to additionally end up on "worst of the year" lists based on critical reactions.  Who knew the critically maligned The Tourist, Alice in Wonderland, and Burlesque were so downright wonderful (and full of nominatable performances)?  With The Kids Are All Right being the only consistently loved film of the five chosen, it's just downright weird.  And adversely, who knew that the Globes would get all indie like this and notice Blue Valentine in the drama categories?  Let's see how the big movie categories fell in terms of predictions:
