I thought "Troy" was worthy of a few nominations. Several others too.
Every year they choose obscure, low-budget, unpopular, often completely offensive movies. And the SAME actors over and over: Meryl Streep, Johnny Depp, Nicole Kidman, Renee Zelwegger, etc. That Bridget Jones sequel was a total bomb.
But...I'll watch the Golden Globes and Academy Awards anyway! It's simply curiosity about that strange croud of over-paid, self-indulgent, corrupt, uneducated, and automatically left-leaning fools (They do NOT think for themselves! They are like high school students, conformity to be cool)!
I don't even have the curiousity anymore. The last awards show I watched was the Oscars last year. It was so politically correct as to be the most boring show I've ever seen. I may tune in to it this year, but I'll tape it, and fast forward through most of it. I'm only interested in seeing the old-timers: Jennifer Jones, Joan Fontaine, etc. No other reason to watch.
Well, you have to admit that Johnny Depp is really quite a good actor.
Remember this is the same guy who played Ed Wood, Captain Jack Sparrow, Edward Scissorhands, and the odd guy (can't recall the character's name) in Benny and Joon.
The only think those roles have in common is how strange the characters were, but I rarely found myself thinking, "that's Johnny Depp." He's really good at disapearing into his roles.
On the other hand, while I really like watching Kevin Spacey, he's always identifiable as himself, at least in all the movies I've seen him in (I haven't seen the movie where he plays Bobby Darin).
