More Globes and SAG Reactions!

To see my initial reactions, click here.

Well, I finally saw "Tropic Thunder" and "Burn After Reading"! Burn After Reading was an excellent comedy and Tropic Thunder was funny in its own right.

Reading was nominated for Best Picture (Comedy) and Frances McDormand was nominated for Best Actress (Comedy) at the Globes. Both of them were excellent, but seeing as I haven't seen the rest of the films nominated, I can't judge that much. The screenplay also deserves a nod in the Best Original Screenplay at the Oscars. In my opinion, Brad Pitt is being seriously underrated and should have been nominated for supporting actor, especially if Tom Cruise can get nominated.

Thunder was nominated twice in Best Supporting Actor at the Globes (Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Cruise) and once in the same category at the SAG awards (Downey). I can definitely see Downey being nominated, as he was hilarious as "the dude playing a dude disguised as another dude". Tom Cruise on the other hand was funny, but nothing special. He definitely didn't deserve that over Brad Pitt and others. In terms of SAG, I'm still rooting for Patel in Slumdog.

There's just my two cents, so don't spend it.
