Buy your tickets now to see http://buzzsugar.com/tags/the+king%27s+speech this weekend, because the small British drama is about to be in demand. The Colin Firth film led the pack in this morning's http://buzzsugar.com/tags/2011+golden+globes announcement with seven nods, followed by http://buzzsugar.com/tags/the+fighter and http://buzzsugar.com/tags/the+social+network with six each. Katie Holmes, Josh Duhamel, and Blair Underwood took to the podium to call out the lucky batch of nominees — some surprising, some not.

 

The King's Speech, The Fighter, and The Social Network all received a nomination for Best Drama, and their three leading men — Colin Firth, Mark Wahlberg, Jesse Eisenberg — earned a nod for their work. But surprisingly absent from the Best Actor list: Javier Bardem for Biutiful. Blame it on the fact that the drama categories are noticeably more cutthroat this year than their comedy/musical counterparts.

 

Even though it was panned by most critics (including http://www.buzzsugar.com/Tourist-Movie-Review-Starring-Angelina-Jolie-Johnny-Depp-12501497), http://buzzsugar.com/tags/the+tourist received a nomination for Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy, along with Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp for their respective roles. http://buzzsugar.com/tags/alice+in+wonderland and http://buzzsugar.com/tag/red were also named, despite their somewhat tepid reviews. Guess it was slim pickings this year!

 

Moving on to TV, http://buzzsugar.com/tags/glee garnered the most nominations yet again this year with five, including another nod for Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison. http://buzzsugar.com/tags/30+rock, http://buzzsugar.com/tags/Dexter, http://buzzsugar.com/tags/modern+family, and http://buzzsugar.com/tags/mad+men followed right behind with three each.
