Who cares who is gonna win, enough bluffing the public mind, enough propaganda because the people does not care any more...

i'm sure my comment will show that i am just not up on these oscar nominations, etc. but i was just wondering what ever happened to "rise of the planet of the apes"? i say this because i have detested ALL of the previous "apes" movies until this one. this one caught my eye because it was based solely on science fiction [which none of the others were] and allowed the movie goer to see that this movie had been based [however looselyh] on a real book [thank you, pierre boulle]. that movie experience was rivetting, absolutely wonderful. so why was this movie completely overlooked?

The final Harry Potter film shoud be a strong first. Emma Watson should get an award as best actress or best supporting actress, at least. It is clear that the GC are nonsense.

uhm...in what universe is Carnage a comedy?!@#$$% This is where you realize GG's are a joke.

And of course Kristen Wiig should win Best Actress for Bridesmaids.

Filmgoers discuss why nominees in the top four film categories were nominated.

The Golden Globes are a joke. It's basically these Turkish 'journalists' who nominate actors based on who they want to 'go to disco' with. An Angelina Jolie directed film nominate for Best Foreign Film? Give me a break. It's completely ridiculous. And, yes, of course I will be watching!
