Josh Duhamel, Katie Holmes, and Blair Underwood announced the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s 25 categories and their nominees for the 68th Annual Golden Globes on December 14 at The Beverly Hilton Hotel. This news comes late, but hey, I was lazy busy. Most of these don’t come as too much of a shock other than The Tourist, which I never would have guessed was a Comedy or Musical. Go figure.  I won’t get into the nitty gritty about how everyone tosses out the HFPA’s opinion (Avatar over the Hurt Locker), but I can accept the ceremony for its entertainment value and nothing further.

The 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards will premier live Sunday, January 16, 2011 on NBC from 8:00-11:00 p.m. (EST) from the Beverly Hilton Hotel hosted again by Ricky Gervais who was most certainly drunk last year.  You can catch the nominees after the break.
