{Image: Yahoo! Movies}
I really like Awards season. And no, it’s not really because I watch all the movies or the TV shows… because frankly, there are just too many! It’s because I really like seeing all the celebrities all dolled up, for good or bad, and finding out who’s arriving with who. Because we all know that celebs prefer keeping us up-to-date with who they’re with (or not with) on the Red Carpet.
So, without further adieu, we have the 2008 Golden Globe nominations in the movie categories. My picks are highlighted after the jump. Which are your favorites to win?

Ack, I really want to see Juno but no one to see Juno with. LOL. Have you seen it and if so, do you know of any way I can convince my boyfriend that it’s not a chick flick so he’ll go with me to see it? LOL

Hi Anna,
I actually haven’t had a chance to see Juno since something keeps coming up, but the Boyfriend IS willing to go watch it with me. In fact, he wants to watch it also!
I’d argue that any movie that’s nominated for a major award isn’t too girly (just don’t tell him that the girl from ‘Enchanted’ is nominated too)
Have you seen any of the other films nominated?
