manman85	11:39a	In A Related Story, Justin Timberlake Is Adorable John Krasinski is in It's Complicated. Diane Kruger is in Inglourious Basterds. Witness their professional excitement over the nominations for those films. P.S. Justin, stop reading People and make a new album. XOXO (5 Comments |Comment on this)
manman85	10:53a	2010 Golden Globe Nominations FILM BEST PICTURE - DRAMA Avatar The Hurt Locker Inglourious Basterds Precious Up in the Air [Nick has a theory that everyone has an investment in Avatar because it costs so much money to make that if it doesn't do well, it will signal the death of the movie industry. Tom Arnold was talking about it last night on Conan even though he's not in it. I'm freaked out by this and I think it looks so stupid. I really don't want to have to see it.] BEST PICTURE - MUSICAL/COMEDY 500 Days of Summer The Hangover It’s Complicated Julie & Julia Nine BEST ACTOR - DRAMA Jeff Bridges, Crazy Heart George Clooney, Up in the Air Colin Firth, A Single Man Morgan Freeman, Invictus Tobey Maguire, Brothers [I can't believe Tobey Maguire beat out Jeremy Renner for this! I didn't see either movie but now I want to see Brothers even more.] BEST ACTRESS - DRAMA Emily Blunt, The Young Victoria Sandra Bullock, The Blind Side Helen Mirren, The Last Station Carey Mulligan, An Education Gabourey Sidibe, Precious BEST ACTOR - MUSICAL/COMEDY Matt Damon, The Informant! Daniel Day-Lewis, Nine Robert Downey, Jr., Sherlock Holmes Joseph Gordon-Levitt, 500 Days of Summer Michael Stuhlbarg, A Serious Man [What an awesome group of actors! I was totally pleased with this until I read that Dave Karger predicted that Bradley Cooper would get nominated. It wasn't the showiest role (although the film was a huge hit) so I'll get over it.] BEST ACTRESS - MUSICAL/COMEDY Sandra Bullock, The Proposal Marion Cotillard, Nine Julia Roberts, Duplicity Meryl Streep, It’s Complicated Meryl Streep, Julie & Julia BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR Matt Damon, Invictus Woody Harrelson, The Messenger Christopher Plummer, The Last Station Stanley Tucci, The Lovely Bones Christoph Waltz, Inglourious Basterds BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS Penelope Cruz, Nine Vera Farmiga, Up in the Air Anna Kendrick, Up in the Air Mo’Nique, Precious Julianne Moore, A Single Man BEST DIRECTOR Kathryn Bigelow, The Hurt Locker James Cameron, Avatar Clint Eastwood, Invictus Jason Reitman, Up in the Air Quentin Tarantino, Inglourious Basterds [No Precious??] BEST SCREENPLAY District 9 The Hurt Locker It’s Complicated Inglourious Basterds Up in the Air BEST SCORE Up The Informant!

Well done, Golden Globes!] BEST TELEVISION SERIES – COMEDY OR MUSICAL 30 Rock (NBC) Entourage (HBO) Glee (FOX) Modern Family (ABC) The Office (NBC) ["Community" is a better show than "Entourage," but I'll let it slide since the rest of these shows are great.] BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A TELEVISION SERIES – DRAMA Simon Baker, The Mentalist Michael C. Hall, Dexter Jon Hamm, Mad Men Hugh Laurie, House Bill Paxton, Big Love BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A TELEVISION SERIES – DRAMA Glenn Close, Damages January Jones, Mad Men Julianna Margulies, The Good Wife Anna Paquin, True Blood Kyra Sedgwick, The Closer BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A TELEVISION SERIES – COMEDY OR MUSICAL Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock Steve Carell, The Office David Duchovny, Californication Thomas Jane, Hung Matthew Morrison, Glee [I am SHOCKED Morrison got this. Good for him, bad for Jim Parsons and Zachary Levi. All the others are fabulous. I always root for the underrated Duchovny. I think people think he’s just playing himself but he’s truly wonderful on that show and he seems to get better every season.] BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A TELEVISION SERIES – COMEDY OR MUSICAL Toni Collette, United States of Tara Courteney Cox, Cougar Town Edie Falco, Nurse Jackie Tina Fey, 30 Rock Lea Michele, Glee [I didn’t even know Lea Michele was eligible in the leading category! I’m so happy for her. If I were her, I’d be like “I don’t need your fucking Tony nomination, Broadway.”] BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A SERIES, MINI-SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION Michael Emerson, Lost Neil Patrick Harris, How I Met Your Mother William Hurt, Damages John Lithgow, Dexter Jeremy Piven, Entourage [Not a single miniseries or TV movie nominee?

manman85	1:21a	Entertainment Weekly did a First Look of the new Todd Phillips/RDJ/Zach Galifianakis/Michelle Monaghan movie, Due Date. Initially I was psyched about this movie, but when I saw the picture (which features Downey wearing a tie and talking on a Blackberry) I remembered that RDJ's middle aged good looks handicap him when it comes to comedies and leave him saddled with playing the straight man to young upstarts (Anton Yelchin) and less attractive character actors (Galifianakis). So that made me a little bit sad. But then I read the caption in which ZG says, "I got lost biking to Robert's house and showed up late and sweaty. Then I made a derogatory comment about an actress he once lived with." So now of course I love Zach Galifianakis. Because what was the worst mistake Robert Downey Jr. ever made? It wasn't getting addicted to heroin or getting fired from Ally McBeal or getting arrested and breaking his parole. It wasn't that interview he did while waving around a loaded gun. Not even that time he broke into somebody's house and slept in a little kid's bed. No, the worst mistake Robert Downey Jr. ever made was seriously dating Sarah Jessica Parker. It's the worst mistake anyone could ever make, really. P.S. I just read that in Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes, Holmes and Watson share a bed and wrestle. Cannot wait for this movie. P.P.S. I just found this old Oscar roundtable with RDJ, Frank Langella, Brad Pitt, Anne Hathaway and Mickey Rourke. I haven't watched the whole thing yet, but I swear it's enough to make me hate actors. What a fucking circle jerk. (Comment on this)

manman85	12:15p	Gossip Girl Facebook Update (Or "What flows through Nate Archibald's veins?") I hate myself for not commenting on the Tveit/Tripp/Edward Cullen connection before! Current Music: "No One Else" - Allison Iraheta (Comment on this)

manman85	5:59p	How Carrie Underwood Won American Idol Seeing as how Simon Cowell's prediction that Carrie would sell more albums than any previous Idol winner recently came true, I thought it was my duty to post this funny video from her holiday special this week. Bonus appearances by Seacrest, Bo Bice, and a Constantine voodoo doll (if that's your thing). Carrie is also the most decorated Idol winner, with seven Grammy nominations and four wins. And if you were not shocked that David Cook didn't get nominated this year, read this: "All of the American Idol winners except Taylor Hicks & David Cook earned Grammy nominations during the year they were first eligible." Seriously, ouch. Current Music: "Morning Sun" - Robbie Williams (Comment on this)
