17th Indiana Critics Shortlists
Although the Indiana journalists call this their nominations, they are in fact shortlists. Wicked: For Good is entirely shut out while The Naked Gun gets more mentions than it probably warrants. Their rules for getting on the shortlist don’t seem to be very particular and I’m guessing that it just takes one person to get…

83rd Golden Globe Nominations
In a way, the old Golden Globes are back again. Oddball star-futzer mentality gets Julia Roberts a nomination while big name titles that score several nominations miss out in the top category (Wicked for Good for example). These don’t tell us nearly as much as they might once have. Still, there are a lot of…
