Four-time Oscar nominee Julianne Moore was in the running for a best supporting actress Golden Globe for her performance in A Single Man, Tom Ford's drama starring Venice Film Festival best actor winner Colin Firth. In the film, Firth plays a gay college professor in 1960s Los Angeles, where he must deal with the unexpected death of his lover (Matthew Goode). Moore plays a married friend who is attracted to the professor.
Tobey Maguire recently made entertainment headlines following his announcement that he'll not return for Spider-Man 4. Rumored replacements have ranged from Michael Cera and Chace Crawford to Robert Pattinson and Zac Efron. Maguire was nominated for a best actor (drama) Golden Globe for Brothers, in which he co-stars with Jake Gyllenhaal and Natalie Portman. Brothers failed to create much of a stir at the box office, so Maguire's nomination was kind of a surprise. His Spider-Man credits probably helped.
Glee's Matthew Morrison was up for a Golden Globe in the best actor in a television series (musical or comedy). He lost to Alec Baldwin for 30 Rock. Too bad, really. Morrison, who is excellent in Glee, should have won.
