2008 Golden Globe Awards nominees

BEST MOTION PICTURE - DRAMA
American Gangster
Atonement
Eastern Promises
The Great Debaters
Michael Clayton
No Country for Old Men
There Will Be Blood

Score: 4/7(?). Wow, seven nominees and no Into the Wild. Weird.

BEST MOTION PICTURE - MUSICAL OR COMEDY
Across the Universe
Charlie Wilson's War
Hairspray
Juno
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Score: 4/5. Predicted Enchanted instead of Charlie Wilson's War. How silly of me.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE - DRAMA
Cate Blanchett (Elizabeth: The Golden Age)
Julie Christie (Away from Her)
Jodie Foster (The Brave One)
Angelina Jolie (A Mighty Heart)
Keira Knightley (Atonement)

Score: 5/5!

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE - MUSICAL OR COMEDY
Amy Adams (Enchanted)
Nikki Blonsky (Hairspray)
Helena Bonham Carter (Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street)
Marion Cotillard (La Vie en Rose)
Ellen Page (Juno)

Score: 3/5. Predicted Nicole Kidman (Margot at the Wedding) and Laura Linney (The Savages) instead of Blonsky and Bonham Carter. Wow, the HFPA actually didn't nominate Kidman! No effect on Blonsky's non-existent chances for an Oscar nom, big boost to Bonham Carter. Poor Linney.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE - DRAMA
George Clooney (Michael Clayton)
Daniel Day-Lewis (There Will Be Blood)
James McAvoy (Atonement)
Viggo Mortensen (Eastern Promises)

Johnny Depp (Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street)
Ryan Gosling (Lars and the Real Girl)
Tom Hanks (Charlie Wilson's War)
Philip Seymour Hoffman (The Savages)
John C. Reilly (Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story)

Score: 4/5. Predicted Steve Carrell (Dan in Real Life) instead of Reilly. Whatever.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A MOTION PICTURE
Cate Blanchett (I'm Not There)
Julia Roberts (Charlie Wilson's War)
Saoirse Ronan (Atonement0
Amy Ryan (Gone Baby Gone)
Tilda Swinton (Michael Clayton)

4/5. Predicted Vanessa Redgrave (Atonement) instead of Ronan. Figured they'd go for Roberts.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A MOTION PICTURE
Casey Affleck (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford)
Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men)
Philip Seymour Hoffman (Charlie Wilson's War)
John Travolta (Hairspray)
Tom Wilkinson (Michael Clayton)

Score: 5/5!

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (France)
The Kite Runner (United States)
Lust, Caution (Taiwan)
Persepolis (France)

5/5!

BEST DIRECTOR - MOTION PICTURE
Tim Burton (Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street)
Ethan Coen, Joel Coen (No Country for Old Men)
Julian Schnabel (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly)
Ridley Scott (American Gangster)
Joe Wright (Atonement)

2/5. Dismal. Predicted Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be Blood), Sidney Lumet (Before the Devil Knows You're Dead), and Sean Penn (Into the Wild) instead of Burton, Schnabel, and Scott. It will be interesting to see how this affects the Oscar noms.

BEST SCREENPLAY - MOTION PICTURE
Christopher Hampton (Atonement)
Aaron Sorkin (Charlie Wilson's War)
Ronald Harwood (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly)
Diablo Cody (Juno)
Ethan Coen, Joel Coen (No Country for Old Men)

Score: 5/5!

BEST ORIGINAL SCORE - MOTION PICTURE
Dario Marianelli (Atonement)
Howard Shore (Eastern Promises)
Clint Eastwood (Grace is Gone)
Eddie Veder, Michael Brook, Kaki King (Into the Wild)
Alberto Iglesias (The Kite Runner)

Score: 2/5. Pathetic. Predicted Beowulf, Enchanted, and The Golden Compass instead of Grace is Gone, Eastern Promises, and Into the Wild. Why is this the only Globe mention of the latter?

BEST ORIGINAL SONG - MOTION PICTURE
"That's How You Know" (Enchanted)
"Grace is Gone" (Grace is Gone)
"Guaranteed" (Into the Wild)
"Despedida" (Love in the Time of Cholera)
"Walk Hard" (Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story)

Score: 3/5. Predicted "Come So Far (Got So Far to Go)" (Hairspray) and "Falling Slowly" (Once) instead of "Grace is Gone" (Grace is Gone) and "Walk Hard" (Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story). Ouch for Once.

Not bad. Got a perfect score in five categories and correctly predicted the noms for Across the Universe and John Travolta, which probably came as surprises to many. Updates on Oscar predictions tomorrow.
