The 2009 Golden Globe nominations were announced this morning, presenting both predictable outcomes and jaw-droppers. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Frost/Nixon and Doubt each garnered a handful of noms. Indie pic Slumdog Millionaire also gained recognition with nods for Best Picture, Director, Screenplay, and Score. Kate Winslet and Meryl Streep are having a helluva year, each earning two noms.
The big shock came with the announcement of the Best Supporting Actor nominees: Ralph Fiennes (The Duchess), Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight) and Philip Seymour Hoffman (Doubt) make sense, but how did Tom Cruise get a nod for being an egomaniacal, hip-hop-loving movie producer in Tropic Thunder? Sure, we may have giggled when Cruise’s character danced to T-Pain, but award-worthy it was not.
