Assuming the ongoing writers’ strike doesn’t put a wrench into everyone’s plans, the 65th Annual Golden Globes ceremony is scheduled to air on Sunday, Jan. 13th. (The NBC telecast will come just 9 days prior to the Academy Award nominations.)
Here are the most notable omissions/additions in this year’s list of film honorees:
- Atonement led the nominations with seven; Charlie Wilson’s War came in second with five.
- Musicals (Sweeney Todd, Across the Universe, Hairspray) dominated the Comedy/Musical category.
- Cate Blanchett received two acting nominations (Elizabeth: The Golden Age, I’m Not There).
- Philip Seymour Hoffman was also a double-nominee (The Savages, Charlie Wilson’s War)
- Hoffman’s Savages co-star, Laura Linney, was not nominated for her performance.
- The Kite Runner was nominated in the Foreign Film category.
- Javier Bardem was the only actor nominated from No Country for Old Men.
- Into the Wild was left out of all major categories.

Los Angeles Film Critics Favor ‘There Will Be Blood’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories:
An adaptation of the Upton Sinclair novel, Oil!, was just selected Best Picture of the Year by the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. There Will Be Blood, which opens in theaters December 26, stars Daniel Day-Lewis (Gangs of New York) as an oil tycoon in the early 1900’s. Blood won four honors overall including Best Director (Paul Thomas Anderson), Best Actor (Lewis) and Best Production Design. Just earlier this week, the National Board of Review gave its top prize to No Country for Old Men.
The New York Film Critics Circle is expected to announce its picks later today while the Golden Globe nominations come out this Thursday.
