The Hollywood Foreign Press continue to surprise us with their, um, unusual picks for this year's Golden Globe nominations. Some of the strange highlights:

for Best Musical/Comedy: "Burn After Reading" -- Meh'd by critics and audiences alike.
for Best Musical or Comedy: "Mamma Mia" -- Just ... really?
for Best Supporting Actor: Tom Cruise, "Tropic Thunder" - The "surprise" cameo as studio chief "Les Grossman" was called out by critics for being little more than a racist caricature. And really, are we giving awards for fat-suit acting now?
for Best Supporting Actor: James Franco, "Pineapple Express" -- So easy on the eyes, this one. But let's hope the already-tired "stoner" character doesn't replace the "lovable mentally challenged" character as annual awards bait.

Check out the complete list of 2008 Golden Globe nominees here. And now enjoy our list of all-time favorite movie stoners, most of whom were overlooked during awards season.

Cutest On-Screen Stoners

    Floyd in "True Romance":
    Brad Pitt played this small, memorable, and very stoned roommate role in 1993's "True Romance." We haven't looked at honey bears the same way since.

    Kumar in the "Harold and Kumar" films:


    As the more laid back of the weed-enthusiast duo, you can't help but cheer for Kal Penn's character when he gets the girl back at the end of the second chapter.

    Slater in "Dazed and Confused":

    Before he graduated to the "CSI" franchise, Rory Cochrane played uberstoner Slater, whose day was fixing to be a lot better. Set on the last day of school in 1976, his classmates included then-unknowns by the names of Ben Affleck, Matthew McConaughey, and Renee Zellweger.

    Lance in "Orange County":


    Jack Black is the druggie older brother of Shaun (Colin Hanks) in 2002's "Orange County." Lance tries to help his aspiring novelist brother get into Stanford... but is constantly distracted by every drug he can get his hands on.

    Paramount

    Thurgood in "Half-Baked":

    Dave Chappelle's lab worker has to steal and sell medical marijuana to raise bail money for his pal. But the guy runs a business called Mr. Nice Guy, so how could things not work out in his favor?

    Skip Engblom in "Lords of Dogtown":


    In the based-on-a-true-story movie, Heath Ledger's interests include weed as well as helping a few skater kids form a competition to get their careers going. In real life, those small town comp turned the boys into legends. Skater dudes? That's pretty hot.

    Columbia Pictures

    Jay in anything by Kevin Smith:

    Kevin Smith is adorable as Silent Bob, the quiet yet hilarious sidekick to drug-dealing, crap-talking Jason Mewes in a slew of his Jersey-based films. But it's the slick talkin' Jay who, whether he's talking about getting laid or getting high, really gets our hearts pumpin.'

    Jason in "Knocked Up":

    Anyone shocked by Jason Segel's nude scene in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" must not have seen last summer's blockbuster "Knocked Up," where a high-as-a-kite Jason runs around in the buff covering himself with one hand. Good thing we wanna look, bro.

    Universal

    Raoul in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas":

    Raoul Duke (Johnny Depp) isn't just smoking some hash...he is getting down with every drug imaginable in an out-of-control trip to Vegas with his attorney. "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" confirmed two things: Hunter S. Thompson is crazy and Johnny Depp is gorgeous no matter what.

    Universal

    Luke in "The Wackness":


    So maybe hiis dorky alter-ego in Nickelodeon's "Drake & Josh" didn't have much of an edge. In this summer '08 indie, Josh Peck played a drug dealin' teen in nineties-era New York City opposite Ben Kingsley.
