Well that was interesting. Of the films Atonement won the most nominations with 7, followed by Charlie Wilson's War, and finally No Country for Old Men, which I'm rooting for. I really haven't seen very many of these films at all though.... As for the tv stuff, well I'm stoked that Damages, 30 Rock and Mad Men got some love, but what the heck is Longford?! I've never even heard of that before... hmmm, looks like a miniseries that I totally missed. Oh well. DFor more stats, check out the HFPA website. We'll see how it all plays out I guess. There's still a big question too as to whether the celebs will actually turn out for this event. With the writers strike going on, everything is a bit tense in Tinseltown, and there is a rumor out there that the awards shows will be boycotted. I personally doubt the stars will be able to resist collecting their spoils, but you never know in Hollywood.

The Golden Globes will air on Sunday January 13th.
