The nominees for the 2011 Golden Globes were announced this morning! Yay? Aww, OK, it’s Christmas, right? YAY! Haha. Just kidding. Sorry, Golden Globes, but even the general enthusiasm and goodwill of the holiday season cannot generate excitement about you. For one thing, you are so low rent. Dress for the awards you want, not the awards you give out, I guess. This is my impersonation of the Golden Globes: “Will someone please help Russell Crowe to his limousine?” At the very least, the Golden Globes are going to be hosted by Ricky Gervais again this year, which is as close to a “good” thing as is possible with this Clown Parade. Still crap, though. And as if the Golden Globes weren’t already a very questionable bargain bin awards ceremony, a few of this year’s nominations are just like, uhhhhhhh. Michael Douglas for Best Supporting Actor in a drama for Wall Street 2? No, David Blaine. Burlesque for Best Picture?! The Golden Globes is just fucking with us now? Even their nomination of Idris Elba for Luther is not enough to make this right (although it is close, because that is a very CORRECT nomination). Oh well. Whatever. Forget it, Jake, it’s the Golden Globes, etc.

We all know that the GG are a joke and to get upset about it is silly. That’s said, I’m going to get upset about it.
Take a look at this: http://features.metacritic.com/features/2010/tv-critics-pick-ten-best-tv-shows-of-2010/
Note the #2 show, the most highly acclaimed comedy? Right. Why wasn’t Community nominated?
I’m hoping this means Donald Glover can write a rap song dissing the Golden Globes.
Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see.
Wow. That list is amazing. Just finished watching Terriers, by the way. Anybody else been on that?
nevermind, just realized they cancelled it. womp womp.
aw, man, i liked it! total womp womp.
Here’s to future WMOAT, The Tourist- congrats!
Is it a musical? I don’t get it.
No, it’s a comedy.
I was nominated and I think this is bull
OMG!!!!!!!! My boyfriend Ryan Gosling was nominated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and now our nominees for the Golden Globe for most hittable:
Ryan Gosling in Blue Valentine
Joseph-Gordon Levitt in Inception
Tom Hardy in Inception
James Franco in 127 Hours
Andrew Garfield in The Social Network
This is a list I can get behind. *SLOW CLAP*
And Steve Buscemi in Boardwalk Empire
(it would be interesting)
It’s funny how all three of my boyfriends were in Inception together. (You forgot Cillian Murphy, of course).
That is an entire list of gorgeous. Can there be runner-up awards just so we can see them all on stage? Not that i’m actually planning on watching…
In a surprise twist, they’re all winners! See you in the batting cages boys.
ugh that is the ultimate in lists in the perfect order. If they all got up on stage together I’m afraid I’d develop fainting goat syndrome.
Cillian Murphy in Inception. UNF.
They give awards for ugly now?
OMG he’s dating us BOTH?!
Was Casino Jack any good?
All those nominations for Glee and none for Community?
Whatever, you guys.
Ha. This happened to me every year at Field Day during elementary school. Ahh, memories.
Ugh. I’m going to get fired for staring at this all day.
I’m going to get fired for NOT staring at this all day. (My job is being unemployed.)
Yeah, I can’t stop looking at this .gif. What is it from?
No nom for Timberlake?
“OMG RYAN GOSLING BEST AWARDS EVER!!!!!” – Ladies Everywhere
<—————THIS LADY ESPECIALLY!!!!
agreed. He’s like perfection wrapped in perfection.
“Eh.” -Me
Best Actor — Musical or Comedy
Johnny Depp, Alice in Wonderland
Johnny Depp, The Tourist
The Tourist is a comedy or musical ?
“???????????????” — Steve Winwood
I can’t believe Alice in Wonderland came out in 2010. That feels like such a 2007 film to me.
Also, just because Johnny Depp is in something, doesn’t mean we have to nominate him for it. People seem to forget that.
Because the director is stuck in 1988?
Ha! Take that you shaggy haired goth-muppet!
HI-OH!
Everyone seems to have a problem with the Tourist but seems to be completely fine with Alice in Wonderland considered either a musical or a comedy. One scene of cg hip hop dancing is neither funny or musical.
Alice in Wonderland was and is the worst.
Oh don’t get me wrong. Just because I’m not ok with the tourist doesn’t mean I’m ok with any of the other noms either. Burlesque? Alice in Wonderland? Even Red, which was ok, isn’t award-material. Again, I say: BANANAS.
Hangover 2 isn’t out till next year. We had to put SOMETHING in this category
- voters
You got Tim Burtowned.
The Golden Globes is just the teaser trailer for the Oscars.
Except no one wants to watch a four hour long teaser trailer for a movie they weren’t all that excited for anyway.
I know this is like cutting across a cow pasture and then complaining that it smells like cow shit, but the fact that The Walking Dead (the worst written show) was nominated for an award and Community (the best written show) was not nominated for an award makes me realize that awards aren’t worth shit in this world.
Nice, Mans. Now look what you did.
“How is it that ‘The Walking Dead’ got the highest rated comment of the week? It is a total troll.” –Me.
THE MANS AWARDS
The Most I Cried During a Television Show: Community (Christmas Special)
The Best Movie that May Have Been Crassly Manipulating Me, but I Didn’t Care: Catfish
Best Series Finale that I Am Not Ashamed to Have Loved: LOST
Best Movie from Last Year that I Watched This Year: A Serious Man
Best Herzog Movie I Watched This Year: The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser
Best Episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents: And So Died Riabouchinska
Best Television Show from My Childhood That I Rewatched on Youtube: Children of the Stones
Movie That Most Offended My Sense of Being Human: Love and Other Drugs

Scariest Movie I Rented: [rec]
Movie That I Most Pointedly Did Not Go See: The Social Network
Television Show That Still Makes Me Cry at Work Just Thinking About It: Community (Christmas Special)
Mans, I am with you. Community christmas special made me COL (cry out loud)
I can’t believe you saw Love and Other Drugs. The movie takes place in Pittsburgh and I was still all NOPE.
My dear Mans: this list further seals my continued bafflement with the fact that we have incredibly similar tast in movies & tv- with one glaring exception:
I really like The Walking Dead. Sure, I don’t think it’s the greatest thing since sliced cheeze, but I do enjoy it. Of course, I totally respect and enjoy your disdain for it.
You know what she says: Different Strokes for different Monsters.
Wait, was The Tourist a musical or a comedy??? I’m going with comedy.
Musical. Totally a musical.
DEPP:
(sotto voce)
A mysterious woman named Elise
Is being shadowed by police
But just a little elbow grease
Will maaaaake her fall in love with me
And now they think that I’m a gangster
Put on earth to give them angst, or
Something, but this sturm und drang, sir,
Isn’t quite my cuuuuuuuuuup of tea
“You win this round, Patrick M.”- Ben Greenman
He’s in my list of The Top Seven People I Would Fight But Can’t Remember A Specific Reason Why
If anything other than The Kids Are All Right wins Best Picture – Musical/Comedy, I am going to throw up.
I thought The Kids Are All Right was very good.
Interesting. That was a reply to Mr Adventureman, but it seems to have gone in the wrong place. I agree with you, though, electro lemon!
I would just like to direct everyones attention to the nominees for Best Picture — Musical or Comedy because WOOF.
“Classic Best Picture — Musical or Comedy.” -Gabe
Although I haven’t seen the kids are alright, so I don’t actually know about that one
Any organization that nominates Dame Judi Dench and Jennifer Love Hewett in the same category should themselves be nominated for “The 2010 Worst Award Show Ever” and then win that award.
Another year, another John Goodman snub. Dude was fantastic in “You Don’t Know Jack,” though I can see him getting buried under Pacino’s performance. (Yes, John Goodman is one of my favorite actors, DEALWITHIT.GIF)
Who doesn’t think John Goodman is amazing????
Not us!
He was awesome as Pozzo in Godot
Just to clarify – I upvoted this gif because I love it. John Goodman on the other hand is awesome.
I think you missed the double negative, mom. We are all in agreement on John Goodman’s awesomeness.
…and even better in Treme.
Ahem. It was invented an entire day ago and yet STILL no nomination for “Vines of Entrapment: Entrapment Vines”? Bullshit.
Man, the Golden Globes have once again slept on Friday Night Lights. Not a single nomination. I get that their schedule is messed up because of the digital channel thing, but just go fuck yourselves Golden Globes.
Seriously. Coach Taylor don’t play no games!
Agreed, so good. Can we discuss this past week?
*SPOILER ALERT* Why didn’t Julie die when she crashed her car? Poor Coach Taylor.
Because they want us to keep watching for her ultimely but gruesome death. Duh.
I LOVE Vince and I’m very worried he’s going to get wrapped up in his mean street ways before we know it. His dad – shaddy ass mofo His mom – gullible ass mofo
And seriously curly haired chick who’s name I will never remember, why are you passing up on Luke fucking Cafferty? Tim’s in jail, move on. Teenage girls, always be lovin’ their bad boys.
REVERSE SPOILER: Maybe she’s still a little “awkward, much” about the whole part where they slept together, she got pregnant, she had an abortion, his fundamom went psycho, and Tami had to quit being the principal at “good” (now evil) side of the tracks high school?
I think they don’t like it because it’s about American football and not soccer? FOREIGN PRESS.
These lists always drive home the point that I need to get out more. I haven’t seen any of these movies! Except Inception because everyone has seen Inception, duh.
Um, you guys, I saw Burlesque and it was one of the worst pieces of garbage I’ve ever seen in my life.
I only saw the trailer, so can you confirm for me that this is a remake of Showgirls for the entire family? Thanks in advance.
1. The concept “remake of Showgirls for the entire family” just blew my mind- every time I attempt to ponder it, my head turns numb. What, who, HOW? Easier to imagine water that is un-wet.
2. Unfortunately, Burlesque wasn’t bad/risible/trash enough to be much of anything. It was mostly meh with brief spurts of inept hilarity, and imminently forgettable…like Bob Fosse farting into a high wind.
My primary issue with it was how notably unsexy it was. My secondary issue was what the fuck was going on with Christina’s hair? You’d think in the time she lived in LA at least one person would be like, “Dude. What is going on with your hair?”
What, you want a Big Hollywood Musical about stripping to be sexy? Or have nudity? Or okay-looking wigs? Picky.
I have it on good authority that Burlesque was nominated in an attempt to make up for snubbing Glitter.
Can we have a Gabe best of 2010 in TV & film? Perhaps you can choose the nominees & we can vote on the winners? Or you could pick them straight Up? I think the monsters would have fun catching up on stuff we might have missed.
The Golden Gabes
Isn’t that what the Gummy’s are?
Although I still think this is a good suggestion, since I don’t think the Gummy’s are happening this year (at least I thought I read that somewhere).
It was a pretty good year for TV though. I can get behind Mad Men, Dexter, Boardwalk Empire, The Big C, United States of Tara, Nurse Jackie. That was some quality programming.
PIPER PERABO!!! What a fun name to type and say. I have no clue who she is or the show she’s in.
Well done. Also- get out of Peggy Olson’s category.
Piper Perabo is perhaps best-known for dancing on a bar with Tyra Banks and dancing on a floor with Don Draper’s secretary.
This is the first I’ve heard of “The King’s Speech” but with Colin Firth, and Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter…sounds promising.
I know, right? Never heard of it, but I totally want to go wee this movie now.
did I hear someone say wee?
“Ladies and gentlemen, YALL BEEN SEDUCED!”- Huge Jackedman
He’s like a sexy, impatient Moses.
I saw it last night and it was adorable and both Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush were excellent! Go see it if it’s playing near you.
I’ll be the first* to say that Community and Breaking Bad were snubbed.
I feel like those were the biggest snubs in the history of snubs and I’m not just being reactionary and hyperbolic. I really think the world is going to radically change because of this.
Guys, Brendan Fraser is so excited about the Golden Globes.
I don’t even know how that gif hasn’t been posted yet. I would have except I’m giftarded and have been having a lot of technical difficulties lately. What I’m saying is…..post now please. Thanks!
I was shocked, too, Mom!
But you guys! Trent Reznor! At the Golden Globes! My inner 16 year old is already applying her eyeliner.
Well, MY inner 16 year old is sneering derisively at what a sellout TR is before returning to her Ogre shrine. God, your inner 16 year old is such a poseur!
I will never understand how The Tourist was nominated for Best Picture – Musical or Comedy and Toy Story 3 was confined to Best Animated Feature.
Also, Burlesque? BURLESQUE?
“Yes, BurlLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSQUE” – Christina Aguilera
“It takes a FART to make a BARF” – Burlesque, 2010
I would also be wailing if I were constantly being hit in the hoo-hah by my bodice tassles.
I am really very tempted to get really very upset. But then I remember the words of one very wise man: “Awards are stupid.” – Ron Swanson
Award show choices are always the worst, but these are the most the worst. They really SLIPPED* up on the movie nominations! True Grit didn’t get one nomination? I THAW it last weekend, it was really COOL. Dexter got nominated this year? It was not good this year, it left me COLD! Breaking Bad didn’t? It’s a very good TV SNOW! Also, Alice in Wonderland gets nominations? Ugh. At least Ricky Gervais will be funny, as he always is.
*Ice is slippery.
I will watch this. But only because there is a fair chance that both Cillian Murphy and Trent Reznor will be in attendance, wearing suits.
I may have just jizzed in my pants.
