The HPFA gave a spanking to Hollywood bad boys Russell Crowe and Sean Penn when it announced its nominations today. Penn’s “Into the Wild,” which led nominations for the rival Critics Choice awards announced earlier this week, got shut out at the Globes except for song and score nominations for Eddie Vedder. No love for Penn’s Best Actor wannabe Emile Hirsch or Best Supporting Actor wannabe Hal Holbrook. Crowe, a former favorite of the HFPA, was ignored for his lead work in “3:10 to Yuma” (ignored in all categories, much to Lionsgate’s distress) and his supporting turn in “American Gangster.” There was also little love for Best Picture aspirant “The Kite Runner,” which got marginalized in the foreign picture category and whose only other nom was for Albert Inlesias’ schmaltzy score. Also snubbed was Seth Rogan of “Knocked Up,” who looked like a lock for Best Actor on the musical/comedy side. But producer Judd Apatow, who was probably expecting a Best Picture nod as well, probably isn’t complaining too loudly. John C. Reilly surprisingly scored a Best Actor nod for Apatow’s mediocre, about-to-open “Walk Hard: The Charlie Cox Story,” as well as sharing a songwriting nomination for the title song with Apatow, director Jake Kasdan and Marshall Crenshaw.
