Let The Snubbing Begin...

Well I for one am a bit offended by this year's Golden Globe nominations. I mean we all knew that BrokeBack Mountain would lead the pack but the films it is up against are probably the worst competition it could possibly have. I mean The Constant Gardner and THe History of Violence over Crash? Come on. Why don't they just hand BBM the award? I mean at least put BBM up against something that could give it some competition and Crash the respect it deserves. I'm so tired of every year movies that should be nominated aren't only because they were released earlier in the year(Passion of The Christ 2004). Though I'd want to see Crash beat BBM if it were nominated, even I can't argue that BBM deserves this over the movies it's up against. And then Terrence Howard gets nominated for the completely wrong movie. Matt Dillon at least pulled out a nomination but I would be very surprised if he won because I don't think the Golden Globes want the Oscars to even consider Crash. Even Munich didn't get nominated! Could the Golden Globe's fear of not wanting BrokeBack Mountain to lose be anymore obvious? The Golden Globes need to stick to television. I always preferred the Oscars over the GGs for various reasons (The Aviator beating Million Dollar Baby) but now they have completely showed their blatant disregard of great films by putting THEIR favorite film of the year up against films we all know will not beat it. Now is that cowardice or what?
