The Golden Globe nominations were announced this morning. I will break them all down a bit later in tonight’s Oscar Beat, but for now there are some nominees that can do all the talking for me.

Ben Affleck, nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Hollywoodland, had this to say through his publicist:

“I am honored that the HFPA chose to nominate me in the company of such fine actors. I take this as recognition and acknowledgement of the work of Allen Coulter and the amazingly talented cast and crew that helped to bring George Reeves’ story to life. The Golden Globes are a great party and my enthusiasm for going this year is tempered only by the knowledge of how much George would have loved to be there. I’m sorry he missed it.”

And while Ben is sentimental about this “great party”, Sacha Baron Cohen was a little bit more playful when commenting on Borat’s 2 Globe Nominations (via Craig’s MovieBlog):

“I am extremely honored. I’m very proud as well for my fellow writers as well as our director Larry Charles, and our producer Jay Roach, and am very thankful for the HFPA’s belief and acknowledgment of our film. I have been trying to let Borat know this great news but for the last 4 hours both of Kazakhstan’s telephones have been engaged. Eventually, Premier Nazarbayev answered and said he would pass on the message as soon as Borat returned from Iran, where he is guest of honor at the Holocaust Denial Conference.”

Oh, that Borat.

More Oscar Beat coming at ya this evening, so stick around!
