• Golden Globe Nominations Announced

  David Fincher's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Ron Howard's Frost/Nixon lead nominations with five apiece. Heath Ledger received his expected posthumous nomination for his stellar performance as The Joker in The Dark Knight, although the nod was the only love the Globes showed the year's most successful fan favorite.

  In the "Musical or Comedy" categories, much love was shown for In Bruges and Vicky Christina Barcelona, with both being nominated for Best Picture as well as two nods apiece in the Musical or Comedy acting categories.

  Mickey Rourke continues to draw acclaim for his transformation in The Wrestler, while his costar Marisa Tomei (considered an outside chance) was nominated in the supporting category. Bruce Springsteen's theme song was also nominated.

  78-year-old Clint Eastwood shows no signs of slowing down. The Hollywood legend surfaced in two unusual categories, nominated for Changeling's score and the theme song to Gran Torino, which Eastwood sings.

• Jonah Hill to Play Marisa Tomei's Jealous Teenage Son?

  Variety reports that Jonah Hill, Marisa Tomei, and John Reilly may form one of the stranger triangles in recent Hollywood filmdom. Reilly will play a divorced man who falls for single mom Tomei, and Hill will play Tomei's jealous teenage son, who also happens to be a 40-year-old studio executive. Okay, we made up that last part, but if the writers can fit it into the script somehow, it will make the whole thing more believable. Even if he shaves the beard and puts in some contacts, 25-year-old Hill is looking just a little bit too super-old to keep playing teenagers, isn't he?
