2013 Golden Globe nominations announced
Steven Spielberg's 'Lincoln' leads the pack with seven nominations
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) -- Steven Spielberg's Civil War epic "Lincoln" led
the Golden Globes on Thursday with seven nominations, among them best drama,
best director for Spielberg and acting honors for Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field
and Tommy Lee Jones.
Tied for second-place with five nominations each, including best drama are
Ben Affleck's Iran hostage-crisis thriller "Argo" and Quentin Tarantino's
slave-turned-bounty-hunter tale "Django Unchained."
Other best-drama nominees are Ang Lee's shipwreck story "Life of Pi" and
Kathryn Bigelow's Osama bin Laden manhunt thriller "Zero Dark Thirty."
Nominated for best musical or comedy were: the British retiree adventure "The
Best Exotic Marigold Hotel"; the Victor Hugo musical "Les Miserables"; the
first-love tale "Moonrise Kingdom"; the fishing romance "Salmon Fishing in the
Yemen"; and the lost-soul romance "Silver Linings Playbook."
Globe attention can give contenders a boost for Hollywood's top honors, the
Academy Awards, whose nominations come out Jan. 10, three days before the Globe
ceremony.
The directing lineup came entirely from dramatic films, with Affleck,
Bigelow, Lee, Spielberg and Tarantino all in the running.
"It's very gratifying to get this many nominations from the HFPA for a film I
worked so hard on and am so passionate about. I look forward to having fun at
the Golden Globes with my cast mates and fellow nominees," Tarantino said in a
statement.
Filmmakers behind best musical or comedy nominees were shut out for director,
including Tom Hooper for "Les Miserables" and David O. Russell for "Silver
Linings Playbook."
Along with Day-Lewis as Abraham Lincoln in Spielberg's epic, best dramatic
actor contenders are Richard Gere as a deceitful Wall Streeter in "Arbitrage";
John Hawkes as a polio victim trying to lose his virginity in "The Sessions";
Joaquin Phoenix as a Navy veteran under the sway of a cult leader in "The
Master"; and Denzel Washington as a boozy airline pilot in "Flight."
Dramatic-actress nominees are Jessica Chastain as a CIA analyst hunting Osama
bin Laden in "Zero Dark Thirty"; Marion Cotillard as a whale biologist beset by
tragedy in "Rust and Bone"; Helen Mirren as Alfred Hitchcock's strong-minded
wife in "Hitchcock"; Naomi Watts as a woman caught up in a devastating tsunami
in "The Impossible"; and Rachel Weisz as a woman ruined by an affair in "The
Deep Blue Sea."
For musical or comedy actress, the lineup is Emily Blunt as a consultant for
a Mideast sheik in "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen"; Judi Dench as a widow who
retires overseas in "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel"; Jennifer Lawrence as young
widow in a new romance in "Silver Linings Playbook"; Maggie Smith as an aging
singer in a retirement home in "Quartet"; and Meryl Streep as a wife trying to
save her marriage in "Hope Springs."
Nominees for musical or comedy actor are Jack Black as a solicitous mortician
in "Bernie"; Bradley Cooper as a troubled man fresh out of a mental hospital in
"Silver Linings Playbook"; Hugh Jackman as Hugo's long-suffering hero Jean
Valjean in "Les Miserables"; Ewan McGregor as a British fisheries expert in
"Salmon Fishing in the Yemen"; and Bill Murray as Franklin Roosevelt in "Hyde
Park on Hudson."
Competing for supporting actor are Alan Arkin as a Hollywood producer helping
a CIA operation in "Argo"; Leonardo DiCaprio as a cruel slave owner in "Django
Unchained"; Philip Seymour Hoffman as a mesmerizing cult leader in "The Master";
Tommy Lee Jones as firebrand abolitionist Thaddeus Stevens in "Lincoln"; and
Christoph Waltz as a genteel bounty hunter in "Django Unchained."
The supporting-actress picks are Amy Adams as a cult leader's devoted wife in
"The Master"; Sally Field as Mary Todd Lincoln in "Lincoln"; Anne Hathaway as a
mother fallen into prostitution in "Les Miserables"; Helen Hunt as a sexual
surrogate in "The Sessions"; and Nicole Kidman as a trashy mistress of a Death
Row inmate in "The Paperboy."
Kidman was a dual nominee, also in the running as best actress in a TV movie
or miniseries for "Hemingway & Gellhorn." ''Quartet" star Smith also had a
second nomination, for supporting actress in a TV series, miniseries or movie
for "Downton Abbey."
Snubbed completely was the low-budget critical darling "Beasts of the
Southern Wild," which won top honors at last January's Sundance Film Festival.
Also shut out was the stripper hit "Magic Mike," which had good buzz for
supporting player Matthew McConaughey, who also earned acclaim for roles in
"Bernie" and "Killer Joe."
With three nominations, "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen" was a surprise, since
the film had virtually no awards buzz behind it.
Globe acting winners often go on to receive the same prizes at the Oscars.
All four Oscar winners last season -- lead performers Streep of "The Iron Lady"
and Jean Dujardin of "The Artist" and supporting players Octavia Spencer of "The
Help" and Christopher Plummer of "Beginners" -- won Globes first.
The Globes have a spotty record predicting which films might go on to earn
the best-picture prize at the Academy Awards, however.
The Globes feature two best-film categories, one for drama and one for
musical or comedy. Last year's Oscar best-picture winner, "The Artist," preceded
that honor with a Globe win for best musical or comedy.
But in the seven years before that, only one winner in the Globe best-picture
categories -- 2008's "Slumdog Millionaire" -- followed up with an Oscar
best-picture win.
Along with 14 film prizes, the Globes hand out awards in 11 television
categories.
The nominees for best television drama series are: "Boardwalk Empire,"
''Breaking Bad," ''Downton Abbey," ''Homeland" and "The Newsroom." And the nods
for best TV comedy series are: "The Big Bang Theory," ''Episodes," ''Girls,"
''Modern Family" and "Smash."
Jodie Foster, a two-time Oscar and Globe winner for "The Accused" and "The
Silence of the Lambs," will receive the group's Cecil B. DeMille Award for
lifetime achievement at the Jan. 13 ceremony.
There will be some friendly rivalry among the hosts at the Globe ceremony,
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Both were nominated for best actress in a TV comedy,
Fey for "30 Rock" and Poehler for "Parks and Recreation."
Fey and Poehler follow Ricky Gervais, who was host the last three years and
rubbed some Hollywood egos the wrong way with sharp wisecracks about A-list
stars and the foreign press association itself.
With stars sharing drinks and dinner, the Globes have a reputation as one of
Hollywood's loose and unpredictable awards gatherings. Winners occasionally have
been off in the restroom when their names were announced, and there have been
moments of onstage spontaneity such as Jack Nicholson mooning the crowd or Ving
Rhames handing over his trophy to fellow nominee Jack Lemmon.
Give it a rest, folks. Lincoln had the war forced on him by the South, South Carolina in particular. The early Lincoln didn't want to abolish slavery; he felt there was no equality between the races, and favored return to Africa for all who wanted to go. The Emancipation Proclamation didn't come until nearly two years after the war had started, and applied only to territories already controlled by the Union armies. The bloodiest war ever fought by the US, with close to a million casualties-everybody killed or wounded was an American, after all, has been over for 147 years. People with a revisionist history of that war need to get over it, as well. You started it, you lost it.
