63rd Annual Golden Globe Nominations

And finally with all the commotion surrounding the final exams at Marquette University and the anticipation of Christmas Break (screw that PC Winter Break crap), I nearly forgot to mention the Golden Globe nominations. Yeah, I realize the Golden Globes are a joke, merely an excuse to see celebrities get drunk and display their utter stupidity with total acceptance. Right now I am bit preoccupied with other things (working on my comparative politics essay which is due tomorrow afternoon), so I will post only the nominees and make my selections as to who I believe will win later on.
