Richard vs the Golden Globes: my picks from 2008
I read through this year’s Golden Globe nominations…they stink. I feel confidently saying most awards are given to worthless films and trendy actors. So, here are my picks from 2008.
Best Drama: Seven Pounds
Best Superhero Flick: Iron Man
(Honorable Mention: The Incredible Hulk)
Best Action Film: Quantum of Solace
Best Documentary: Helvetica (I know it came out it 2007, but I didn’t find out about it until last year.)
Best Animated Film: WALL-E
Best Comedy: An American Carol
Best Sequel: The Dark Knight
Internet Release: The Echo
Best Actor: Heath Ledger
Best Actress: Natalie Portman (what can I say…I’m a sucker.)
Best Director: Jon Favreau
Most Visually Exciting: The Dark Knight
Best Film: Iron Man
Worst Film: Wanted
Most Personally Disappointing: A tie between The Clone Wars and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Film I Was Most Surprised I Liked: The Incredible Hulk
(I thought about writing a explanation/defense for each selection, but decided instead to let them speak for themselves.)
