Golden Globes

[Stu in USA]

Can anyone explain why "Pride and Prejudice" was nominated for best comedy, not drama and vice versa for "Match Point"? I haven't seen Match Point, but its a Woody Allen film, so assuming its comedic.

Hi Here is a copy of the synopsis for match point and it does not look like a comedy to me.

Chris Wilton, a young tennis instructor, becomes involved with a wealthy family, one member of which he's teaching tennis. This leads to his rise in the world of upper class people and his subsequent romantic involvement with two women. A clandestine affair follows, leading him into a ever deepening quagmire until the only way out for him is to contemplate doing away with one of the women. This story is romantic, socially critical and suspenseful in a Hitchcockian way. The ending will come as a surprise."

As for Pride and Prejudice I have always thought it is more of a comedy than a serious piece of work, but I guess that is just my opinion.

I'm just surprised that Keira Knightley can be nominated for anything with that fish pout of hers...
