\"apatows.jpg\"<\/a>The folks who award the Golden Globes aren\u2019t as uptight as the Oscar crowd\u2014good box office and pretty faces carry more weight at the Globes than political correctness and dignified careers. So when the nominations come out<\/a>, as they did yesterday, they\u2019re not to be read so much as bellwethers for Oscar than what Hollywood really thinks. What, then, do we think of the stiffing of Judd Apatow in yesterday\u2019s list?<\/p>\n


\nDespite the huge year Apatow had with \u201cKnocked Up<\/a>\u201d and \u201cSuperbad,\u201d both celebrations of rampant adolescent sexuality, neither those films, he, nor any of his actors, got a mention in the Globe nominations. Okay, so it\u2019s hard to point to any singular performances (though I\u2019d have thought Apatow\u2019s wife, Leslie Mann, would have snared a supporting actress nom for her hyped-up housewife in \u201cKnocked Up\u201d) but register Hollywood as down on bongs and breasts, even if, as in \u201cKnocked Up,\u201d the message is fundamentally pro-family and pro-marriage. To add insult to injury, \u201cJuno,\u201d commonly being referred to as the female \u201cKnocked Up,\u201d promptly got multiple nominations before half the country has heard of it.
\nCross-dressing, however, is fine, even when the filmmaker is gloriously anti- \u2026 well, anti-any old fashioned American value you can name. John Travolta was nominated for his \u201cNorbert\u201d-esque Edna Turnblad in John Waters\u2019s \u201cHairspray<\/a>.\u201d To prove it\u2019s a trend, Cate Blanchett, too, got noticed for her turn as Bob Dylan in \u201cI\u2019m Not There.\u201d Oh, well, Judd, you know where the bar is set now\u2014and I\u2019m dying to see your gender-bending movie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
