I must say that I'm pleasantly surprised, but also baffled, at the Golden Globe nominations. Inglorious Basterds for Best Picture? Excellent. Christoph Walz nominated? Awesome. But nominated for Best Supporting Actor? What gives? Sure, in such an ensemble film, he didn't as much screen time as your typical Best Actor nominee might, but good luck trying to convince anyone who's seen the film that he wasn't the star. I assumed that he had a Best Actor (Golden Globes, Oscars, what have you) nomination wrapped up after the first scene.
Makes me wonder; if one of Tarantino's original choices for the role of the Colonel Landa, Leonardo DiCaprio, had been cast instead, would he have been bumped up to the big-boy's category?
