golden globe nominations 2011

The Golden Globe 2011 nominations were announced Tuesday morning, and as Dan Zak reported, there were some surprises in the announcement:

"The King's Speech," a British period piece starring Colin Firth as a stammering King George VI, snagged seven Golden Globe nominations Tuesday morning, just ahead of the Facebook origin story "The Social Network" and the lacerating boxing drama "The Fighter," which scored six each. The psychological ballet thriller "Black Swan" and the confounding sci-fi epic "Inception" rounded out the nominees for best motion drama.

The entire main cast of "The Fighter" was nominated, including Mark Wahlberg for best actor in a drama and Christian Bale, Amy Adams and Melissa Leo in the supporting actor categories, which are divided by gender but not genre.

The nominees for best picture musical or comedy are a less acclaimed bunch: Tim Burton's trippy CGI-drenched "Alice in Wonderland," the showgirly Cher comeback vehicle "Burlesque," the elders-with-guns action flick "Red," and "The Tourist," the umpteenth espionage potboiler starring a dangerous sexy couple -- in this case Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie, who were both nominated for their performances as an American traveler and a mystery woman who enchants him.

As Lisa de Moraes explained, the nominations for television were no less anticipated:

This season's freshman crop of TV shows was mostly a bust, if Tuesday's Golden Globe nominations are any measure - and they are.

An AMC zombie drama, a Showtime comedy about cancer, and an HBO drama about Atlantic City during Prohibition are the only new series to snag noms in their program categories for this year's Globe competition. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is known for many things and, among them, is its willingness to embrace new TV series much more readily than the hidebound TV academy that dispenses the Primetime Emmy Awards.

But this year, the HFPA seemed largely unimpressed with the new crop of TV series.
