Here's some spontaneous reactions to the '09 Golden Globe Nominations.

Inspired by Josh Hall a.k.a skishua and his latest blog post, each reaction comfortably fits Twitter's 140 character limit, more or less.

I recommended Nathaniel Rogers at The Film Experience, for exuberant Oscar coverage and accurate Oscar Predictions.

In general: This wasn't good news for Rachel Getting Married, The Dark Knight and Milk. Each film earned one acting nom. Despite four potential nominations.

Best Drama: An incredible snub for The Dark Knight and Milk but a big PUSH for my predicted win The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Best Musical or Comedy: Will the Hollywood Foreign Press make the right decision and reward Happy-Go-Lucky's charm with the top prize?

Best Performance by an Actress in Drama: A rough competition here, all five vaginas best beware of Sally Hawkins come Oscar time. Seriously.

Best Performance by an Actor in a Drama: All five GG choices will be the five Oscar choices. Sean Penn's locked. Mickey Rourke's pockmarked.

Best Performance by an Actor in Drama: Don't care for anyone here. Everyone's painfully average. And that's enough, In Bruges.

Best Performance by an Actress in a Musical or Comedy: Sally Hawkins Sally Hawkins Sally Hawkins Sally Hawkins. For the love of God, Sally Hawkins. X.x

Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role: He's worthy of a posthumous Oscar. Reward Heath Ledger for the role that KILLED him.

Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role: Finally Viola Davis receives some media attention. Pity she'll loose to Penelope Cruz.

Best Director - Motion Picture: Perhaps the most conventional category? This will be David Fincher's year. But watch out for Danny Boyle.

Best Animated Film: Now, let's call the whole thing off. And award everything on offer to that incredibly cute robot WALL-E.
