Golden Globe nominations are in. I took some time to make some wild picks. Even if I haven't seen most of them, I can fake an opinion:
Picture, Drama: "Brokeback Mountain" because foreigners love cowboys. Especially ones that love each other.
Actress, Drama: Gwyneth Paltrow, "Proof" or Ziyi Zhang, "Memoirs of a Geisha." I can't see Charlize playing ugly, white trash twice and winning another award.
Actor, Drama: Heath Ledger, "Brokeback Mountain" because, like I said before, the foreign press loves the cowboy love.
Picture, Musical or Comedy: "Walk the Line." Johnny Cash always wins.
Actress, Musical or Comedy: Keira Knightley, "Pride & Prejudice" Skinniest woman on the planet trumps the others.
Actor, Musical or Comedy: Cillian Murphy, "Breakfast on Pluto" or Joaquin Phoenix, "Walk the Line." for being two of the creepiest actors alive at the moment.
Supporting Actress: Scarlett Johansson, "Match Point" or Rachel Weisz, "The Constant Gardener" for being uber hot.
Supporting Actor: George Clooney, "Syriana" the man deserves an award just for the weight he put on.
Director: Ang Lee, "Brokeback Mountain" or Fernando Meirelles, "The Constant Gardener" Spielberg's movie is too controversial. I like Meirelles for what he did in "City of God"
Screenplay: Paul Haggis and Bobby Moresco, "Crash" Someone has to win for "Crash," it should be them. I've heard things, it sounds like this year's "Traffic" and not just for the similarity in name.
Foreign Language: "Kung Fu Hustle," China. I loved this movie for it's ingenuity and wackiness. The others, I haven't seen, ha.
Original Score: John Williams, "Memoirs of a Geisha" The man who wrote so many memorable themes gets some love from the foreign press for thinking outside his fifth chord box.
Original Song: "There's Nothing Like a Show on Broadway" from "The Producers" Did you know that musicals adapted for movies aren't eligible for Oscars? A travesty.
TELEVISION
Drama Series: "Lost," ABC. Lost always wins.
Actress, Drama: Kyra Sedgwick, "The Closer" Kyra does a bang-up job as a southern bell expat in Los Angeles.
Actor, Drama: Hugh Laurie, "House". I don't care how much emoting Matthew Fox does in Lost or how intense Kiefer is onscreen, Mr. Laurie does a great job every week with a very compelling character.
Series, Musical or Comedy: "Curb Your Enthusiasm," HBO. Have you seen this show? I've never laughed so hard in my life. Where's SCRUBS?
Actress, Musical or Comedy: Mary-Louise Parker, "Weeds." Please nominate someone else besides a "Housewife."
Actor, Musical or Comedy: Zach Braff, "Scrubs." No one does insecure better than Mr. Braff. He deserves this one.
Miniseries or movie: "Warm Springs," HBO. FDR and Branagh, like Peanut Butter and Jelly.
Actress, Miniseries or Movie: Nobody. I can't think of any single stand-out performance. Even if I haven't seen any of them...
Actor, Miniseries or Movie: Kenneth Branagh, "Warm Springs." Mr. Shakespeare plays FDR like a violin.
Supporting Actress, Miniseries or Movie: Sandra Oh, "Grey's Anatomy" The only leading Asian actress on TV these days. I'm still trying to figure why her and Alexander Payne split.
Supporting Actor, Miniseries or Movie: Naveen Andres, "Lost." Our favorite wacky Iraqi brings one home, even if he isn't Iraqi at all.

What?! No Wentworth?! I'm disappointed in you.
Wentworth cannot hold a candle to Hugh Laurie. In a category with both him Matthew Fox and Kiefer Sutherland he's got no chance.
Maybe he'll have a contingency plan and win next year's Emmy...
