Golden Globe Nominations Released

The nominations are out for the up and coming 2011 Golden Globe awards which means that you may be looking at the list of potential Oscar nominees as well.  It has been a long standing tradition that often movies and actors nominated for the Golden Globe Awards will also be on the ballot for the Oscars.  Also the Golden Globes wins due tend to run along the same lines as the Oscar wins as well with one of the recent exceptions of Avatar winning best Dramatic Motion Picture and Best Director but it was later pointed out to me that to win at the Oscars usually you also have to have some nominees in the acting categories. Below is a list of the nominees.  Get out to the theaters, your local Redbox or hit Netflix to watch these films and make your determinations.
