I hope this question doesnt sound that stupid, but could someone tell me how does a movie get nominated for a golden globe before its released? Maybe the voters gets an advance screening I guess.

I hate this time of year. They throw out all of these names for actors in movies that aren't even out yet.

Yeah, this is a pretty depressing list... Golden Globes is like the poor-man's-Oscars, right?
I do have to say, though, that I'm pulling for Tom Cruise getting Best Supporting Actor. Powerful performance! ;-P

No love for TDK is ridiculous, but Tom Cruise for Tropic Thunder is just classic, even if I don't really think that's what he had in mind.
