The 69th Annual Golden Globe Nominations [VIDEO]

Well it is no secret that I love award shows.  I think that is why I love American Idol, it's like one long award show.  The Golden Globes are upon us, and we are going to get introduced to a bunch of non-mainstream movies that we should watch, or in my case just see the promos for during the show.  Of course some weird movie is up for best picture,  and is sweeping all the nomination categories.  It's called the Artist.  It's all done in black and white and set in the late 20's.  I am bored just thinking about it.  Though I did like 'The Kings Speach' - last years big winner...this one seems just blah.

The nominations were announced by Sofia Vergara, Woody Harrelson, Rashida Jones and Gerard Butler. The Golden Globes will air on NBC January 15th, hosted by Ricky Gervais, who in my mind is the only reason to watch the Golden Globes!
