69th Annual Golden Globe Winners

The 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards just wrapped up and were officially the first awards I wanted of the year. I haven't seen as many of the big films this year but it was clear that The Descendants and The Artist were the big winners on the film side of things and Homeland was the big TV winner. Very interesting year.

69th Annual Golden Globe Nominations (for 2011 Film & TV)

The 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards Nominations have been announced! I always look forward to watching The Golden Globes, the show is entertaining and I love that with having drama as well as comedy/musical categories even more people are honoured with nominations. I didn't find too many surprized this year with lots of nod to The Descendants and The Help plus acting nods to Shame & The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) but I am surprized not to see any love for The Tree of Life. But, out of all of the nominations I'm most excited to see Brendan Gleeson up for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy Or Musical in The Guard (out on DVD Jan 3, 2012). He was absolutely amazing & it was one of my favourite films of the year. I know I'll be watching to see who goes home with the awards on January 15, 2012 but for now let's take a look at all of the nominations:
