GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINEES!



BEVERLY HILLS, California (AP) -- The cowboy romance "Brokeback Mountain" led Golden Globe contenders Tuesday with seven nominations, among them best dramatic picture and honors for actors Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams and director Ang Lee, positioning itself as a key Academy Awards competitor.

Other best drama picture contenders were the murder thriller "The Constant Gardener," the Edward R. Murrow tale "Good Night, and Good Luck," the mobster story "A History of Violence," and the infidelity drama "Match Point."

The Globes have a separate category for musical or comedy films. Nominated there were the theater tale "Mrs. Henderson Presents," the Jane Austen costume pageant "Pride & Prejudice," the Broadway musical "The Producers," the divorce story "The Squid and the Whale," and the Johnny Cash film biography "Walk the Line."

The Globes were the latest recognition for "Brokeback Mountain," a critical darling that has received top honors from critics groups in New York, Los Angeles and Boston.

Along with Ledger, who plays a family man concealing a homosexual affair from his family, best dramatic actor nominees included three actors playing real-life figures: Russell Crowe as Depression-era boxer Jim Braddock in "Cinderella Man," Philip Seymour Hoffman as author Truman Capote in "Capote," and David Strathairn as newsman Murrow in "Good Night, and Good Luck." The fifth nominee was Terrence Howard as a small-time pimp-turned-rap singer in "Hustle & Flow."

Felicity Huffman received two nominations, best dramatic actress in a film for her role as a man preparing for sex-change surgery in "Transamerica" and best actress in a TV musical or comedy for "Desperate Housewives." Her "Desperate Housewives" co-stars Marcia Cross, Teri Hatcher and Eva Longoria also were nominated.

Other best dramatic film actress nominees were Maria Bello as a wife learning painful secrets about her husband in "A History of Violence," Gwyneth Paltrow as an unstable math genius' daughter in "Proof," Charlize Theron as a woman leading a sexual harassment lawsuit in "North Country" and Ziyi Zhang as a poor girl who becomes the belle of Japan's geisha houses in "Memoirs of a Geisha."

Two years ago, the Golden Globes correctly predicted winners in all key categories, including best-picture champ "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" and actors Sean Penn, Charlize Theron, Tim Robbins and Renee Zellweger.

Yet a year ago, the Globes missed the mark, picking "The Aviator" as best picture, an honor that went to "Million Dollar Baby" at the Oscars. Jamie Foxx and Hilary Swank won lead-acting Globes and went on to earn Oscars, but Globe voters chose Clive Owen and Natalie Portman of "Closer" for the supporting-actor honors, which were won at the Oscars by Morgan Freeman for "Million Dollar Baby" and Cate Blanchett for "The Aviator."

The Globes are handed out by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, a relatively small group of about 90 reporters for overseas news outlets. Yet with a nationally televised awards ceremony on NBC and a historically solid knack for picking eventual Academy Award winners, the Globes wield a fair amount of sway among the 5,800 Oscar voters.

Winners of the Golden Globes will be announced Jan. 16, five days before polls close for Oscar voters. Oscar nominations come out Jan. 31, and the awards will be presented March 5.

The Globes feature 13 categories for film and 11 for television. Unlike other major movie awards, the Globes have separate divisions for dramas and comedies or musicals in the best-picture and lead-acting categories.

Anthony Hopkins will receive the group's Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement.

Golden Globe = Foreign Fags

How can Brokeback Mountain have so many nominations and not Kong or Munic? Damn even Star Wars had to had something!

A History of Violence is good... whatever... but it has NOTHING special come on... be objective!

We here watch thousands of movies a year and we can definetly tell its not comparable to a movie like King Kong, or to go more in that level, Pulp Fiction!

This sucks... and I bet this year it will be very different at the GG than the Oscars

Astrostic

no offense andyk, but you are coming off as not a very pleasant or smart fellow.

JG

brokeback mountain is getting so much attention.  now i have to see it. 

Find Your Magali

These nominations are bad news for Munich and King Kong. ... Almost every Oscar winner for best picture has at least been nominated for best picture in one of the Globes' two categories.

The good news is that Heath Ledger is shaping up as the only serious competition for PSH for Best Actor, and while I think Brokeback will do well at the Oscar, I can't see it carrying Ledger to a win over PSH.

If PSH and Huffman win Oscars, the night will have a nice Magnolia-tinged feel to it.

definitely.. and that performance is certainly worthy, though i'm sure PSH's is too.

oh well, either choice would warm the cockles of my heart.

I think you guys are being a wee bit tough (those being tough) on a year in which a Ron Howard film came out and will not win anything significant.  Then, in fact, it might even do something good, in that Giamatti might walk away with an award.  That's fucking cause for celebration as far as I'm concerned.

While a small film will win only to fade away over years and become another Driving Miss Daisy or Shakespeare in Love, hell, at least it ain't gonna be some bloated picture like Rain Man or American Beauty, you know.  I'm trying to not kick a horse in the mouth here, I think the year was quiet but respectable, weak but not hurtful.  I mean it's not going to spawn a year of clones you know.  We'll get 'em next year.  We'll have to damnit.
Raven haired Linda and her school mate Linnea are studying after school, when their desires take over and they kiss and strip off their clothes. They take turns fingering and licking one another's trimmed pussies on the desks, then fuck each other to intense orgasms with colorful vibrators.

I just realized that Malick's The New World is absent, not a single nod.  :yabbse-sad: :yabbse-undecided: :yabbse-angry:
