A Serious Man’s one and only Golden Globe nominee, Michael Stuhlbarg, missed out in the Best Performance by an Actor Comedy or Musical category to Robert Downey Jr for his stint as Sherlock Holmes.

It’s not all bad news for the Coen brothers fraternity though, The Dude himself, Jeff Bridges, won in the category Best Performance by an Actor Drama for his role in Crazy Heart and T. Bone Burnett won for Best Original Song in a Motion Picture for this theme for the same movie. Burnett, for those that don’t know, has collaborated with the Coen brothers in the past most notably on O Brother, Where Art Thou?, The Ladykillers and The Big Lebowski in the role of musical archivist / music producer.

Complete list of nominees and winners can be seen here.

The nominations for the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards have just been announced and A Serious Man star Michael Stuhlbarg is up in the BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE – COMEDY OR MUSICAL category! Unfortunately this is the movie’s only nomination.

The very best of luck to him!

Regular readers of You Know, For Kids! will know that the Coen brothers’ latest, Burn After Reading, was nominated in two categories at this year’s Golden Globes, well, it won neither! In the category of Best Motion Picture Comedy or Musical it was beaten out by Woody Allen’s supposed return to form, Vicky Christina Barcelona while thew award for Best Performance by an Acress in a Comedy or Musical went to Sally Hawkins for her performance in Mike Leigh’s Happy-Go-Lucky beating Frances McDormand.

Boo!

The ceremony was cancelled due to the WGA strike but the awards were still dished out. That’s right the Golden Globe winners have been announced and the fact that you’re reading this here can mean only one thing- No Country For Old Men has won something! Not just some thing but TWO things. Javier Bardem took home the Globe for Best Supporting Actor while Joel and Ethan took home the award not for directing but for writing- Best Screenplay. Surprisingly Best Film (Drama) went to Atonement, Best Film (Comedy/Musical) to Tim Burton’s Sweeny Todd and Best Director to Julian Schnabel for The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.

Congrats to all and let’s hope for further recognition at the Oscars.

In addition to nice little haul above, No Country is also up for 4 Golden Globes; Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor (Javier Bardem), Best Director (Joel and Ethan Coen) and Best Screenplay (Joel and Ethan). The awards ceremony is on January 13th.
