Golden Globes – the nominations are announced

Well, there weren't too many surprises.

As widely predicted, both There Will Be Blood and No Country For Old Men got nominated for Best Picture, amongst seven nominations.

One of the nominations was the British movie Atonement, a drama of a World War II love story. The Brits are pretty excited as the film has totally reaped nominations for seven awards – including Best Actress for Keira Knightley, Best Actor for James McAvoy, Best Supporting Actress for Saoirse Ronan, Best Director for Joe Wright, Best Screenplay and Best Original Score. With 7 nominations, Atonement pretty much led the field. It will be a long day of celebrations and congratulations in the British film fraternity.

I will not bore you with all the details, but you may be interested to know that some of your favourite stars have also been nominated, including Julie Christie, Jodie Foster and Angelina Jolie for Best Actress; and George Clooney, Denzel Washington and Daniel Day-Lewis for Best Actor.
