Hollywood Foreign Press Announces Nominees

Following on the heels of the Broadcast Film Critics Association award nominations, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association just announced their nominations for this year's Golden Globes.

HFPA will celebrate its 70th anniversary this coming January. Today its nearly 90 members represent more than 50 countries with a combined readership of more than 250 million. Their publications include publications in Europe, Asia, Australasia and Latin America, ranging from the Daily Telegraph in England to Le Figaro in France, L’Espresso in Italy and Vogue in Germany as well as the China Times, leading Brazilian web portal UOL and the pan-Arabic magazine Kul Al Osra.

The Golden Globes honor both television and film, and this year's awards ceremony on January 13 will be hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Here are the nominations. No surprises. "Lincoln," "Argo," and "Zero Dark Thirty" are looking like favorites with Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained" being the "indie" title to find the most traction. As with the BFCA's Critics Choice Awards, the Golden Globes divide nominations up between comedy and drama in order to spread out the winnings, which makes the studios happy by increasing box office for both the nominees and winners. The Oscars have yet to do this but they did recently extend the number of best picture nominees from 5 to 10 to provide box office boost to more films at the end of the year and for their DVD release.
