Golden Globe Film Nominations for 2008
The awards have started. Here are the nominations for the 2008 Golden Globes. You may remember last year's awards ceremony, it was the odd infomercial (due to the writers strike) with Queen Latifah. Well, my first thoughts are there is no love for Valkyrie and very little love for Milk and The Dark Knight.
