Although I was initially disappointed at the choice of Will Ferrell instead of Brad Oscar, and Uma Thurman instead Cady Huffman, I can't wait to see the movie! I love Will Ferrell (I just watched Elf again) so he may just pull it off. After all he is nominated for a Golden Globe. And it will be nice to see Roger Bart again. I miss him since he's been killed off on Desperate Housewives.

Ouch -- Rent didn't receive any nominations...

According to this article in Playbill:

"The Producers" -- the new movie musical based on the Tony-winning Mel Brooks Broadway show of the same name -- earned four nominations, including one for Best Motion Picture-Musical or Comedy. The picture will vie for that prize in a field that also includes "Mrs. Henderson Presents," "Pride & Prejudice," "The Squid and the Whale" and "Walk the Line." The Susan Stroman-directed film also scored nods for Nathan Lane (Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture-Musical or Comedy) and Will Ferrell (Best Performance By an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture). A new song penned for the film by composer-lyricist Brooks -- "There's Nothing Like a Show on Broadway" -- was nominated for Best Original Song-Motion Picture.

The other much-talked-about movie musical of the season -- the Chris Columbus-directed film of Jonathan Larson's "Rent" -- earned no Golden Globe nominations.
