Gone Baby Gone is In!

The Golden Globe(R) nominations were announced yesterday and Boston is well represented with at least six nominations depending on how you want to count them.

Gone Baby Gone
Our prediction of Amy Ryan earning a Best Supporting Actress nod was dead on.

In Gone Baby Gone, Ryan's character seems like she is straight from the streets of Dorchester. Her Boston accent and portrayal of a down-on-her-luck mom is as authentic as it gets. If there is one nomination that picks up the hardware, this is the one we are rooting for.

Some other notable Boston nominations...

• Local Casey Affleck was a long shot for a nomination for Gone Baby Gone but he did get a nod as Best Supporting Actor for The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford. How about them apples?
  

• Best Picture. Partially filmed in Boston, The Great Debaters with Denzel Washington earned a nomination.
  

• BEST TELEVISION SERIES – COMEDY OR MUSICAL. Inspired by life of Boston local Mark Wahlberg, ENTOURAGE is HBO's new staple replacing The Sopranos as a "must see." Wahlberg is also the Executive Producer.

• Boston Legal earned a nod with William Shatner picking up a nomination for BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A SERIES, MINI-SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION.
  

• Local funnyman Steve Carell got on the nomination board for the hit NBC show The Office. Carell grew up just outside Boston in the Acton/Concord area. The official nomination....BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN TELEVISION SERIES – COMEDY OR MUSICAL.
