AND THE NOMINEES ARE….

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have good reason to be smiling today.

The Golden Globe nominations were just announced and Brad got a nod for his work in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Angie was nominated for Changeling.

At a couple of points during the nominations, the room broke out in hysterics — when Tom Cruise and Robert Downey Jr. were nominated for comedy Tropic Thunder and when James Franco got a nomination for his work in stoner movie Pineapple Express.

Looks like that humorous Oscar campaign urging a nomination for Kirk Lazarus, the actor Downey Jr. plays in Thunder, might have paid off.

The Globes, unlike the Oscars, have special categories for comedy work.

Here’s a list of the more important nominations:

    While Brad and Angelina are on top of their games, being honored by various awards body, Aniston is getting so desperate and has now become a porn star!

    Gees, she is becoming so trashy, just trying too hard to be sexy, which she is not!

    I completely agree Supernova. They have money and don’t need to worry about loosing jobs and paying bills and struggling to support a family.

    CoverAwards was going to ask a variety of independent therapists, body language experts and other folks about why Jen is doing what she’s doing.

    You know, posing nude on GQ.

    And saying more things about Brangelina like this joke:

    “The funny thing is, people don’t realize we all go away to The Hamptons on the weekends,” jokes Aniston. “That’d be hysterical: I’ve got Zahara on my hip, and Knox…”

    And, then we decided to not waste our time.

    The answers are obvious:

    1) Movie to promote and if Marly & Me bombs her career is dunzo.

    2) She’s still not over the split and apparently never will be.

    They’re you have it.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^ I’m sure you will recieve a phone call from Bard & Angelina thanking you for all your support! Hahaha DUMBARSE
    I think you’re the one who isn’t over it, maybe you need some counciling. Seek some medical advice, because your emotions are invested as if you are part of the Brangelina bunch.

    I guess just about every actress is Hollyweird is a porn star because it seems they all pose nude, semi-nude for various men’s magazines, Skankolina included even though she doesn’t want to do anything anymore that might embarass her children. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA

    Both pair annoy me, but I can deal with the Cruises for longer. If they stop whoring Suri out to the photogs.

    Man, I can’t believe Stephen Moyer didn’t get nominated for his role as Bill Compton in the HBO series True Blood. I’m pissed!

    I seriously hope neither win. They’re both quite terrible actors.
