The Golden Globe nominations for 2005 are out, and the list is, how we say in French, le fucked up. In the Best Drama category, there's no sign of Syriana, Munich, North Country, King Kong, Capote or Memoirs of a Geisha. The Constant Gardener, which is good but not great, gets a nod, as does the largely floppish A History of Violence. Brokeback Mountain, Good Night and Good Luck and Matchpoint round out the category.

Despite Brokeback Mountain scooping much of the pool on nominations this year, Jake Gyllenhaal has been overlooked in the Best Supporting Actor category (George Clooney, Matt Dillon, Will Ferrell, Paul Giamatti and Bob Hoskins took the five available spots), and also disappointing is the fact that, apparently, the Hollywood Foreign Press don't watch Arrested Development. Bastards.

The full list of nominations follows the fold.

Fans of TV's greatest show, Arrested Development, know full well why Fox is choosing to end the life of the show. Put simply, Fox are fucktards of the highest order, who have killed more great shows than most networks have aired. Family Guy, Futurama, The Tick (shut up, it was great), Firefly, the list rolls on like Kirstie Alley on a Stairmaster. And if you wanna know why, I found a great explanation of it, right here.

If you don't want to bother reading, because you're mentally 'tarded or have to rush off for the latest episode of CSI: Peoria, allow David Cross to sum it up for you:

Or maybe you can be guided by the words of AD creator, Mitchell Hurwitz, when he told the audience as he accepted yet another Emmy for the show:


I'll say it right now - whichever cable station or network picks up this show gets my undying loyalty. I'll watch every fucking show on their schedule at least once, just out of thanks for saving the best show on TV.

And Fox? You don't get my business anymore. Season four of '24' is dead to me. Dead.
