Eastwood, "Dark Knight" among Globes snubs - Yahoo! News:

[The Hollywood Foreign Press Assn] also challenged Clint Eastwood to prove he's a good sport.

The 81 active voting members of the HFPA, the highly idiosyncratic group behind the Golden Globes, decided that Eastwood didn't deserve a directing nomination for either "Changeling" or "Gran Torino." And his performance as "Torino's" angry ex-Marine also didn't merit a spot among the best dramatic actor nominees -- even though the National Board of Review, an equally idiosyncratic lot, has proclaimed Eastwood the year's best actor.

Instead, the Globe-trotters, always eager to attract as many A-list celebrities as possible to their televised awards dinner, issued Eastwood an invitation by way of two music nominations: best score for "Changeling" and best song for "Torino."

Now, Eastwood is as serious about his music as he is about his movies, but that's the equivalent of asking him to sing for his supper.
