Golden Globe 2007 – Le Nomination

Ad un mese dalla magica serata in cui avrà luogo la cerimonia sono state annunciate le candidature per i Golden Globe 2007, il premio considerato l’anticamera degli Oscar per il cinema e che per la televisione è il più ambito insieme agli Emmy Awards.
Scorrendo la fatidica lista saltano all’occhio le ben 4 nomination per Weeds, la dissacrante miniserie trasmessa via cavo da Showtime, con Mary Louise Parker candidata come Miglior Attrice Protagonista. Già lo scorso anno Weeds ricevette 2 nomination ai Globe e proprio la Parker fece le scarpe alle varie “casalinghe disperate” che si trovarono candidate con lei, ma come nel più classico dei copioni dovette arrendersi di fronte a Desperate Housewives nella categoria Miglior Serie (Comedy).
Solo Grey’s Anatomy, serie che è oramai stabilmente fra i primi tre programmi più visti in Usa e tallona da molto vicino l’inossidabile Csi: Las Vegas, eguaglia la performance di Weeds con altrettante nomination. Fra queste anche quella per Miglior Serie (Drama), dove sfida fra gli altri Lost, vincitrice lo scorso anno, e il mostro sacro 24.
Fra le serie tv più giovani ben tre trovano posto nelle categorie regine del premio: rispettivamente Ugly Betty per la categoria Comedy, Heroes e Big Love per quella Drama.
Raccoglie pochissimo, solo una nomination in una categoria minore, l’osannata (più dalla critica che dal pubblico) Studio 60 on The Sunset Strip. Completamente snobbate altre due serie di grande successo, Prison Break (l’anno scorso presente in due categorie) e Jericho.

Nei giorni che ci separano dal serata del 15 Gennaio andremo a spulciare fra le pieghe delle nomination per parlavi delle sorprese (poche) e delle conferme (molte) che la Hollywood Foreign Press Association ha offerto quest’anno, intanto vi proponiamo di seguito la lista completa:
