The Golden Globes announce film & TV nominees

The King’s Speech (in film) and Glee (in TV) lead the 68th version of the Golden Globes with 7 and 5 nominations, respectively. Besides Tom Hooper’s biopic, Lisa Choldenko’s family comedy The Kids Are All Right leads films nominated in the “Comedy/Musical” categories with 4 nominations. Glee is the clear leader for all TV nominees. In the four (Comedy) Lead and Supporting categories, the musical comedy’s four top actors — Lea Michele, Matthew Morrison, Jane Lynch, and Chris Colffer — are nominated. The frontrunners for TV Dramas are Boardwalk Empire, Mad Men, Dexter, and The Good Wife, bunched together with 3 nominations each. While many may complain of snubs, especially in this year’s crowded “Best Actress” race, nominations for Halle Berry (Frankie & Alice), Mila Kunis (Black Swan), Paul Giamatti (Barney’s Version), and Jacki Weaver (Animal Kingdom) are pleasant additions to an otherwise predictable field. The Cecile B. DeMille (i.e. “Tribute to the Old, White (Overdue) Entertainment Industry Vet”) goes this year to Robert DeNiro.
