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.
