The 2010 Golden Globe Nominations was recently released and the two major contenders so far are Avatar and Up in the Air. I haven’t watched both movies yet but I’ve seen the trailers and I’m almost 100% sure that I’ll be lining up at the theater houses for Avatar. Another interesting thing in the 2010 Golden Globe Nominations list is that Meryl Streep got nominated twice in the same category! She’s the best actress nominee for two films “It’s complicated” and “Julie and Julia”.

Personally I don’t have any major favorites except for “Up” in the Best Animated Movie category, haha! I totally loved that movie. Yes, I’m a kid at heart.
