For instance, the Hollywood Foreign Press sure do love Moneyball. The semi-true baseball story nabbed nods for Jonah Hill, Brad Pitt, best dramatic picture, and best screenplay.
Unlike the Screen Actors Guild snub of Michael Fassbender's unparalleled performance in Shame, The Golden Globes showed it some love. Other pleasant surprises? The Skin I Live In for best foreign picture, Rooney Mara for best actress in the highly-anticipated The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and all the nods for the stage-to-film adaptation, Carnage (two best comedic actress nods for Kate Winslet and Jodie Foster)
We would be remissed to omit complete mention of the well deserved attention Midnight in Paris has received from the Foreign Press--best actor nod for Owen Wilson (in, hands down, his most mature performance to date), best screenplay and best director nods for Woody Allen (also one of his most mature projects).
Wilson's performance dwarfs that of Ryan Gosling in the severely lackluster romantic comedy Crazy, Stupid Love. But, while we're talking about Gosling, we need to talk about why he wasn't nominated for Drive, but got a nod for the less superior movie, The Ides of March...Go figure
