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.

Winners will be announced Jan. 16, 2006.

CECIL B. DEMILLE LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
Anthony Hopkins
capote should have gotten a nod - definately over history of violence
most ridiculous category: BEST ACTRESS, TV MUSICAL OR COMEDY. i've never seen Weeds but i hope mary-louise parker wins, that would be funny.
every other award should go to michelle williams.
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
no offense andyk, but you are coming off as not a very pleasant or smart fellow.
brokeback mountain is getting so much attention. now i have to see it.
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.
I just realized that Malick's The New World is absent, not a single nod. :yabbse-sad: :yabbse-undecided: :yabbse-angry:
it's the golden globes.

I hope you're right, but my prediction is that Giamatti gets screwed again and doesn't even get nominated. .......... Best Supporting Actor is a brutally tough category and it's looking like Clooney's award to lose for Syriana.
these are pretty solid, i don't know what y'all are fussin' about.
glad to see constant gardner get some recognition-- was my fav this year.
dying to see match point, bareback, and munich.
and fyi-- Weeds is a great show are mary louise is hot.
I was surprised by all the attention paid to The Constant Gardener. I haven't seen it and don't have anything against seeing it, but it seemed that it came and went without much hoopla from either critics or audiences.
My Golden Globe picks:
Best Film (Drama): Brokeback Mountain
Best Film (Musical/Comedy): Walk the Line
Best Actor (Drama): Heath Ledger
Best Actress (Drama): Felicity Huffman
Best Actor (Musical/Comedy): Joaquin Phoenix
Best Actress (Musical/Comedy): Reese Witherspoon
Best Supporting Actor: George Clooney (weight gain = awards)
Best Supporting Actress: Michelle Williams
Best Director: Ang Lee
Best Script: Brokeback Mountain
assuming thats a predictions and not neccesarily hopes, right? bytheway, thats nearly identical to EW's picks too.
Yup, these are predictions, not hopes.
I'd love to see Hoffman win. I think the Best Actor (drama) race is very tight, between Hoffman and Ledger. I give the edge to Ledger, because I think Brokeback is going to win a lot of awards -- and the coattails of Brokeback will bring Michelle Williams along for the ride. Also, Ledger has won some critics awards, too.
I think Clooney will win because he's up for so many awards, he has to win something, and this is the most likely category. He gained weight for his character in Syriana and plays against type. Plus, he's made two politically relevant films, so he gets brownie points for doing serious films.
Ang Lee won the DGA award for Crouching Tiger, and he has displayed his versatility with Sense & Sensibility, Ice Storm, Hulk and Brokeback Mountain.
I think Brokeback will win Best Film (and Best Picture at the Oscars) because it has become something a cultural phenomenon, and has aroused controversy (like Million Dollar Baby last year). In addition, critics and audiences seem to love it.
I think Phoenix and Witherspoon are overdue in receiving awards. Witherspoon should have received an Oscar nod for Election.
Yeah... so happy about Philip Seymour Hoffman!!!
Golden Globes for Felicity Huffman and Philip Seymour Hoffman. :bravo:
Magnolia-riffic!!!!!!!!
Congratulations to those two. That's awesome.
and other than those... good for Steve Carrell (and his speech), Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon, and Lost winning Best TV Drama!

Complete List of Golden Globe Winners
Actress, Musical or Comedy: Mary-Louise Parker, "Weeds," Showtime
Hahaha, I enjoyed that so much.
started out great and got less funny towards the end. for a while it was like all the winners were comedians. i didn't even watch it last year, or care about the winners, but last nite was an especially slow nite for television so i tuned in.
highlights:
-mary louise parker winning
-geena davis' speech, funniest of the nite.
-rachel weisz and darren aronofsky (best shout out)
-michelle williams and scarlett johansson (best cutaways)
wtf moments:
-john travolta's random comment before he announced best actor comedy/musical "you men hav all raised the bar.. all you MEN" or some crazy travolta shit like that. WTF?
-james mangold not getting ANY screen time even tho he was name dropped and pointed to a million times. would it hav killed them to flip a camera around?
-fernando meirelles. i think i'm the only one who first thought he was a young black brazillian, then was SHOCKED to find he's 50 or whatever, and then i was blown away when i realised he's a white dude. this'll teach me to do my research.. it makes his movies all the more impressive.
-ryan phillippe, douche bag of the nite. hey dude just cos u think Crash was your "comeback" doesn't mean u should try to get everyone's attention by being overzealous about everything. "pay up???" yeah like joaquin wasn't the most predictable winner of the whole nite. i was embarrassed for reese.
-mispronunciation of names. so invalidating, go home jamie foxx.
-OH the most hilarious thing, matthew mcconaughey not being able to say Joyeux Noël in the foreign film category, and sarah jessica parker taking over so then he just says all the english titles. hahah. go home matthew who.
Another embarrassing moment: Dennis Quaid on Brokeback Mountain..."Let's just say, it rhymes with Chick Flick." Wow, classy.
Paradise Now winning was awesome. Ryan Phillipe was lame.

me: waiting for him to mention women.
travolta: done talking about it.
crowd: stunned.
travolta (in his head): once again we men have had to carry you ladies for an entire year.

All of the camera men had little swatches with some less familar faces on it. Mangold wasn't included. I didn't even realize he was going to be there. He wasn't seated at the "hot" table that was the home to Witherspoon and Phoenix.
