Golden Globe Nominations Announced; DJANGO UNCHAINED Up For "Best Picture"

Golden Globe Nominations Announced; DJANGO UNCHAINED Up For "Best Picture"

...but there's no mention of The Dark Knight Rises! While the Golden Globes aren't necessarily an indication of how the Academy Awards will play out, is Christopher Nolan set to be snubbed yet again? Django Unchained meanwhile has fared much better. Hit the jump for the full list of nominees.

I suppose it should come as no surprise that The Dark Knight Rises hasn't been nominated for a single award at the Golden Globes, although you would think that there would be some sort of acknowledgement for Christopher Nolan's $1 billion finale to his Batman trilogy. Regardless, it's Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained (the screenplay of which is currently being adapted into a DC Comics series) that has swept up with a total of five nominations. Elsewhere, Adele's Skyfall song is up for "Best Original Song" and the "Best Animated Feature Film" category is VERY competitive this year. The 70th Golden Globes will be held on Sunday, January 13th.

Rises may not have been as great as TDK but it was a great. I appreciated it more when I watched with the previous two films. And if Extremely Loud and Incredibly Annoying can nominated, Rises deserves Best Picture.

As for the GG nominations, I really don't get all the love for Salmon Fishing in Yemen.

BECAUSE THE DARK KNIGHT RISES WASN"T ONE OF THE BEST FILMS OF THE YEAR.

Jesus christ, CBM, stop trying to push it that this is some type of unjustice or snub. TDKR DOESN"T DESERVE ANY NOMS!

It's because they didn't look at blockbusters. What comicbook fans look for, is not exactly what is known as "deep" and "thoughtful"
This the reason because no action movie is in the nomination.
And TDKR tried only to mix easy-to-explain "deep" themes with (poor) action...nolan tried to be a Cannes or Venice festival director, but he's not. He's only a blockbuster director with a gigantic ego.
If you want something really "serious" and "deep" go with Luc Besson's Leon or Nikita, or talking of some more recent, go with the King's Speech. The Joker that isn't the Joker, but just a killer, is not serious, it's sad...
This for saying that at Golden Globes (and maybe at Academy) awards you'll see mainly author movies, not movies that pretend to be author movies ;)

TDKR doesn't even warrant a repeat viewing.

I'm excited for Django Unchained though.

Marion Cotillard gave an golden globe-oscar level performance under Audriard's direction, and a razzie level performance under the nolan's direction. that's one of the reasons he is not nominated. also cause everything in TDKR was waaaay below the quality of TDK.

[frick] bigelow she doesn;t deserve to be there, just like she didn;t deserve to win best picture. HUrt locker was good, not great. Although it didn;t have much competition, except for Inception.

TDKR didn't deserve any "non-technical" nominations, nor did th Avengers. Good to see the voters have some common sense.

WELL DONE!!!

Thankfully the people behind the Golden Globe Awards are people of intelligence, vision, and integrity, unlike the delusional brain-dead nolanites.

tdkr was nothing more than a boring crap-fest.

Don't worry nolan-worshippers. Expect tdkr to sweep the RAZZIES!!!

I don't hate TDKR. I enjoyed it in the theater but I just find no real reason to ever watch it again. I think that kind of speaks for the film, for me anyways. Love the shit out of it, I wont stop you.

GoILL - 12/13/2012, 6:48 AM
Not surprised by this at all, I feel TDKR is still viewed as a kids thing because it is a cbm and therefore won't get nominated for much if any of these awards. I think WB is gonna come off looking foolish with all that for your consideration stuff.

Of course tdkr would have made the cut if there were more nominations....like 100. ROTFLMAO!!!

Come on!! no matter how pretentious, serious, self-important and pompous TDKR tries to be or how much the nolanite cult tries to convince the world that is the new godfather; compared to Argo, Life of Pi and Lincoln the story of the ninja millionaire dressed as a bat fighting some darth vader knock-off with a half baked bomb threat, seems just as comic-booky as the avengers or spider-man.

@Charlie2094

Never try to make your point by including IMDB's top 100 list, since its nothing but a farce of generated list of internet users.

And AFI is the most irrelevant film "award" out, they only try to tap into the pulse of america and throw in blockbusters every year to stay hip and fresh and not feel out of touch.

I like TDKR...it's just not award worthy at all. Nothing wrong with that, but people keep trying to push it like it deserves to sit with the noms for Best Picture or that Nolan did ANYTHING that deserves a Best Director, when compared to the other two Batman films, TDKR falls below them in terms of pace and story.

I'm proud of the Hollywood Foreign Press (who are notorious douche-bags) for not recognizing TDKR. It doesn't deserve it. MAYBE some technical awards from the Academy, but NOTHING in terms of writing/directing/acting matches the previous film.
GiantNerd
GiantNerd - 12/13/2012, 7:02 AM
The last part of @Spoilers comment is a giant WTF moment for me as well.

TheHitchhikingGhost - 12/13/2012, 7:03 AM
...and CBMs don't need a boost. It has all the momentum it needs. The Avengers was biggest movie on the planet and TDKR and Spidey wasn't too far behind. Also, Ledger winning an Academy Award for the friggin' Joker took care of the "respect for CBMs" factor.

Can't say I'm surprised. TDKR was amazing, in my opinion, but I am not surprised.

@TheYoungMan

I know other movies are campaigning the same. I just think that the voters on these type of things don't give cbm's that much thought for anything other than technical or the acting like they did with Heath.
TheHitchhikingGhost
TheHitchhikingGhost - 12/13/2012, 7:20 AM
Avengers will get an Academy nod for effects, maybe some sound.
TheHitchhikingGhost
TheHitchhikingGhost - 12/13/2012, 7:22 AM
@yossarian

I know, it's so weird we would discuss TDKR on COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM.
TheHitchhikingGhost
TheHitchhikingGhost - 12/13/2012, 7:25 AM
It's an obvious discussion. Warner Bros. has a campaign underway to land TDKR some Oscar nods. The Golden Globes is the precursor to the Academy Awards. In most cases, we see the playing field of nominees for that show around this time. It's interesting TDKR is nowhere to be found. Hence, discussion.
TheBurnSays
TheBurnSays - 12/13/2012, 7:33 AM
Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks TDKR doesn't deserve any consideration. It was good but the story was rushed and there is far to many plot holes to be considered for Best Picture. The hype was bigger than the movie. They sold us EPIC and gave us ... well, not epic.
Silentman
Silentman - 12/13/2012, 7:57 AM
no skyfall nomination? no javier bardem nomination? c'mon globes. from what ive seen, lincoln is the best picture of the year so far but django and les miserables haven't been released yet so we'll just have to wait and see. also zero dark thirty looks promising.

Being snubbed implies that a film was worthy of recognition. This isn't the case with The Dark Knight Rises. Thus this article is pointless.
