I just saw "Up in the air", the nominations are absolutely deserved.
I just wish "A serious man" had more nominations, it was one of the best movies I've seen this year.

I have to watch "A serious man" yet, and I'll do because I have a thing for Coen Brothers' films, but I agree with "Up in the air", a very fine movie deserving of its nods to Golden Globes.
