Movie thoughts -- Golden Globe Nominations

I'm very happy about the nominations. One article I read noted that all the nominated drama pictures are independents, made for "less than $30 million." How cool is that??? And there are lots of great performers getting their due. In fact, I don't know how the Academy will cram 10 deserving actors into their 5 slots (the Golden Globes separate comedies and dramas). I'm just thrilled to see smaller movies and less famous performers getting in the spotlight, both because they deserve it (for taking chances and being committed to producing a quality product) and especially because it raises the profiles of these movies and makes them more successful. Hurrah all around.
