Globes Schlobes

Posted by Wesley Morris December 14, 2006 02:07 PM

I suppose one has to acknowledge that the Hollywood Foreign Press, the organization that hands out the Golden Globes, has become a taste-making force. Whatever. But I am happy to see that a body that does make taste (sometimes the bad variety) liked Emily Blunt in “The Devil Wears Prada.” But where’s Stanley Tucci? Where are a lot of people? Somehow, Maggie Gyllenhaal was nominated for a very good performance in “Sherrybaby,” a no-budget independent film only its makers and movie critics wound up seeing. That’s a kind of star power. (They loved her in “Secretary,” too.) Still, if you’re a tiny or even tiny-ish movie, remember: it’s the Hollywood Foreign Press.
