68th Annual Golden Globe Awards - nominees announced


The nominees for the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards were announced this morning in Los Angeles by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. The King's Speech led with 7 nominations for Best Picture - Drama, Best Director (Tom Hooper), Best Actor - Drama (Colin Firth), Best Supporting Actor (Geoffrey Rush), Best Supporting Actress (Helena Bonham Carter), Best Screenplay (David Seidler), and Best Original Score (Alexandre Desplat).

Close behind with six nominations each were The Fighter and The Social Network. Black Swan, Inception and The Kids are Alright followed with four nominations each. The Coen brothers were strangely absent from the nominees list with their acclaimed remake of True Grit. Other respected films that didn't receive any recognition include Hereafter, Fair Game and Another Year. Meanwhile, the critically panned films The Tourist and Burlesque each received three nominations, including Best Picture - Musical or Comedy. Who knew The Tourist was a comedy or musical? Red and Alice in Wonderland rounded out the Best Picture nominees.

Johnny Depp received two nominations in the same category, Best Actor in a comedy or musical for Alice in Wonderland and The Tourist. He's the first to receive two nominations in the same category since Jack Lemmon in 1963.

Eight-time Globe nominee Robert De Niro and winner for Raging Bull will receive the Globe's Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement. 

The television categories were led by "Glee" which received five nominations including Best TV Comedy or Musical.

The Golden Globe Awards will be presented on Sunday, January 16, 2011, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles. The event will be hosted by Ricky Gervais.
