Golden Globe Nominations - 2008


The Golden Globe Nominations are in, and guess who has the most nominations?

Per Reuters:

The World War Two saga "Atonement" earned seven Golden Globe nominations on Thursday, including a bid for best film drama, to lead the pack of movies vying for a major Hollywood honor in the widely watched awards season.

"Atonement" was joined in the best film drama category by six other films -- "American Gangster," "Eastern Promises," "The Great Debaters," "Michael Clayton," "No Country for Old Men" and "There Will be Blood."


Rounding out the top movie Golden Globe nominations, relative newcomer Amy Adams of "Enchanted" will vie for best actress in a musical or comedy alongside Nikki Blonsky of "Hairspray," Helena Bonham Carter with "Sweeney Todd," Marion Cotillard in "La Vie En Rose" and Ellen Page for "Juno."

Nominees for best actor in a movie musical or comedy are Johnny Depp, also for "Sweeney Todd," Ryan Gosling for "Lars and the Real Girl," Tom Hanks in "Charlie Wilson's War," Philip Seymour Hoffman for "The Savages" and John C. Reilly in "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story."

Best foreign-language movie nominees were the Romanian film "4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days;" Taiwan's "Lust, Caution;" French animated film "Persepolis;" a U.S.-made entry about Afghanistan, "The Kite Runner," and "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly," a U.S.-French production.

Three movies collected four nods apiece to round out the top five most-nominated films. They were "Michael Clayton," "No Country for Old Men," and "Sweeney Todd."

Among TV categories, the best drama nominees were four cable TV network programs -- "Big Love," "Mad Men," "The Tudors," and "Damages" -- with just two from the major broadcast networks, "Grey's Anatomy" and "House."

Competing for best TV comedy were "30 Rock," "Entourage," "Californication," "Entourage," "Extras" and "Pushing Daisies."

The 2008 Golden Globe Awards will be given out on January 13 in Beverly Hills in a gala ceremony that will air on the U.S. television network NBC.
