Golden Globe gripes, predictions

[never]

The always excellent Paul Giamatti has never been better and should have been nominated as best actor and co-star Amy Ryan best supporting actress. In my nominations, writer/director Tom McCarthy’s film is a shoo-in best screenplay and it’s a no-brainer for best picture.
The film is that good and most critics — and those of you that caught it — agree. Yet, to date, no nominations from any of the award givers. Not one. And all that is left is theRuneScape gold Oscar picks.
Another miss. Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life. Stunning and complicated, it’s a piece of work that certainly qualifies for best director. Best cinematography would be another category of emphasis.Award pickers, it appears, have short memories and these days only pick the films studios release for the holidays and at year’s end. Some — like Carnage which opens in Tri-Cities this week — are released in L.A. and New York just so they’ll be eligible for awards. That means critics in smaller venues such as Tri-Cities don’t get a shot at seeing those films until afterRunescape accounts the telecast.
This year a large percentage of the Golden Globe nominations haven’t been to Tri-Cities but will be soon. Others won’t get here at all.
And do you, the average moviegoer really care about what the foreign press, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the Screen Actors Guild or any of the industry organizations think about movies anyway? Their broadcasts tank in the ratings while those looking at the favorites of the “people” do Rs Gold very well.
The People’s Choice Awards telecast was held Wednesday night. When you compare the Golden Globe nominations — for example — to the People’s Choice Awards nominations, it’s apples and oranges. It leads to a question. Do the nominations of the industry groups have enough mass Runescape money appeal?
