Hi.....The Golden Globe Awards, presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, are nothing without Oscar nominations to go with them, but the 2010 Globe nominations announced today get the nominees halfway there.
And the leader of the pack, sayeth the foreign press, is Jason Reitman's recession comedy 'Up in the Air,' which finds itself on six ballots, including Best Comedy or Musical, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor (George Clooney) and two for Best Supporting Actress (Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick).
Rob Marshall's adaptation of the Broadway musical 'Nine' came in second with 5 nominations while Jim Cameron's 'Avatar' and Quentin Tarantino's 'Inglourious Basterds' each collected 4.
With 15 nominations for the top three, the foreign press have trumped a trio of critic groups' awards announced in recent days, three of which -- those in Boston, New York and Los Angeles -- threw their collective weight behind Kathryn Bigelow's Iraq war drama 'The Hurt Locker.' The foreign press didn't overlook that film; it received nominations for Best Drama, Best Director and Best Screenplay, but the voters ignored its heavily-praised star Jeremy Renner and gave its small distributor, Summit Entertainment, a challenge it may not be able to match.
