"It's become traditional to look for the snubs in any award list and heaven help anyone whose job it is to curate the in memoriam montage on the night and then the next morning apologise for the inevitable hurtful omissions. Snubs have become a cliche of awards season commentary, but you have to wonder about the best director list of this year's Golden Globes nominations."
"There's his amazingly witty and poignant chamber piece Blue Moon, with Globe-nominated Ethan Hawke playing depressed Broadway lyricist Lorenz Hart, and his eerily accomplished pastiche-homage Nouvelle Vague, about the making of Godard's classic Breathless, shot not in the boring old colour in which these events happened but in a beautifully realised monochrome a little reverential for my tastes but still a marvellously accomplished picture."

Paul Thomas Anderson leads nominations for One Battl.
