Golden Globe Nominations Are Out!

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has released its list of Golden Globe nominations! Benjamin Button, Doubt, and Frost/Nixon lead all films with 5 nominations each. Slumdog Millionaire, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, The Reader, and Revolutionary Road are next in line with 4 nominations apiece. Nothing exceptionally surprising about the nominees, except perhaps In Bruges scoring three noms despite coming out back in February (though it was a very good movie, so I'm happy it's getting some renewed buzz). Also of note, Tom Cruise joining Robert Downey, Jr. in the Best Supporting Actor category for their roles in Tropic Thunder. For those who consider the Globes a good gauge for Oscar nominations, be warned that The Dark Knight was roundly snubbed. Except for a Best Supporting Actor nomination for Heath Ledger, the film is absent from the list. And while Aronofsky's The Wrestler scored acting noms for Mickey Rourke and Marissa Tomei, it's notably absent from the Best Motion Picture/Best Director/Best Screenplay categories after garnering a lot of early awards-season buzz.

And in the land of Television, HBO dominates all other networks with a whopping 22 nominations. In a distant second is Showtime with 8 nominations. NBC leads all major networks with 6. Head on over to The Hollywood Reporter to read up on the nominees' reactions, or click on through after the jump to see the full list of nominations. The Golden Globes seeks to rebound from last year's dismal strike-afflicted newscast with a return to the full glamour and star power of previous years. The Globes will air on NBC on January 11th.
