Golden spheres

Despite barely seeing any movies or TV shows this past year, I thought I would make some Golden Globe picks anyway. At least there's no boring ceremony to sit through. And I deleted some of the less interesting categories.

Best Motion Picture - Drama
American Gangster
Atonement
Eastern Promises
The Great Debaters
Michael Clayton
No Country For Old Men--I haven't seen any of these pictures. I have read Atonement, if that counts for anything. I have two friends who saw No Country for Old Men, so I will have to go with that movie.
There Will Be Blood

Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama
Cate Blanchett – Elizabeth: The Golden Age--Haven't seen any of these movies, but I love Cate the best.
Julie Christie – Away From Her
Jodie Foster – The Brave One
Angelina Jolie – A Mighty Heart
Keira Knightley – Atonement

Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama
George Clooney – Michael Clayton
Daniel Day-Lewis – There Will Be Blood
James McAvoy – Atonement

Best Motion Picture - Musical Or Comedy
Across The Universe
Charlie Wilson's War
Hairspray--I've seen this twice, and it's so infectious.
Juno
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street--Saw it, and was lukewarm. But it'll probably win.

Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy
Amy Adams – Enchanted--She's awesome in Enchanted.
Nikki Blonsky – Hairspray--Nikki's a rare find, but I'm not sure she'll win.
Helena Bonham Carter – Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street--OK, but her singing voice kind of brought the movie down a notch.
Marion Cotillard – La Vie En Rose
Ellen Page – Juno

Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical Or Comedy
Johnny Depp – Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street--Johnny rocks in Sweeney Todd.

Mad Men (AMC)
The Tudors (SHOWTIME)--I saw a few free episodes on Netflix, and they were fine.
