The Golden Globe nominations are the real start to Oscar season. This past week the Hollywood Foreign Press released their list of the best in movies and television for 2008. For me, the expected out weighed the surprises. Actually there were only 2 surprises, Australia got no nominations and Milk only got 1. 
As for Australia, that was not really that big of a shock. I believe that it is going to be a more technical movie. Baz Lurhman is known for his showy, beautifully filmed movies. I believe Australia will do well come Oscar time in categories such as Cinematography and Art Direction. Milk, for which Sean Penn got an acting, did not get a nomination for movie or directing. This I feel is a huge surprise. Milk was well filmed with true historical accuracy. I am hoping that the Oscars are much more open to this film that the Hollywood Foreign Press has been.
