The Golden Globe nominations were released this morning, pretty standard without many suprises really. I am suprised that Tropic Thunder got a few nods, and am pleasently suprised that In Bruges on of the best films of the year, is finally getting some recognition. Also looks like The Dark Knight only got one nom and that went to Heath Ledger, and deservedly so. Upon watching the DVD of TDK I finally realized just how awesome Ledger was in that movie, it was the seventh time I've seen it and the only scenes I was still truly looking forward to were Ledger's.
