Get Ready for the Golden Globe Nominations

December 13, 2006

The Golden Globe nominations will be announced tomorrow morning, and I'm on the edge of my seat to see which of my favorite movies and TV shows this year will be nominated. For best picture, I'm crossing my fingers for The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine, and though I haven't seen The Queen, it sounds like Helen Mirren is a sure shot. As for TV, I'm hoping that "Friday Night Lights," "Heroes," "The Office" get the nominations they deserve. So check in with BuzzSugar tomorrow to see who gets a nod!

They say the Golden Globes are a bellwether for the Oscars, but there are also plenty of critics' awards that act as leading indicators for the Golden Globes. Here's a look at what some of the major critics' organizations have honored so far. (And by the way, what's up with all the kudos for United 93?)
