The Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s Golden Globes Awards many not be the most respected awards in Hollywood, but they know how to throw a party – and they also know how to throw a spanner in the works when it comes to unusual [and sometimes superior] taste when it comes to selecting nominees.
On the movies side of things, multiple nominee/winner Tree of Life is not on this year’s shortlist for Best Movie, for example – though The Artist makes the list for BestComedy/Musical and Michael Hazanavicius did get a Best Director nom.
A wee bit more commentary and the full list of nominees follow the jump.

Supporting nods went to Jessica Chastain for Take Shelter and Christopher Plummer for Beginners.

The Artist may have continued to build credibility as a genuine Oscar® candidate as it scored nominations for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role and Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, but The Help took the most nomination by a single film with four [Viola Davis nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role; Jessica Chastain and Octavia Spencer nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role; The Help nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture].
On the television side, Modern Family scored Five Nominations [Ty Burrell and Eric Stonestreet nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series; Julie Bowen and Sofia Vergara nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series, Modern Family nominated for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series].
Dexter led cable shows with three noms.
