UPDATED: Oscar contenders "The Descendants" and "The Help" follow with the George Clooney-directed political thriller "Ides of March" receiving recognition.
Barely saying a word, The Artist swept the film nominations for the 69th annual Golden Globe Awards, taking a commanding six nominations, including one for best comedy or musical. A pair of American dramas, The Descendants and The Help, followed with five noms each.
It was a good morning for a wide variety of filmmakers, including George Clooney, whose political drama The Ides of March made an unexpectedly strong showing with four noms; Woody Allen, who earned multiple noms, including directing and writing, for his Midnight in Paris; Angelina Jolie, who was included among the best foreign-language nominees for her Bosnian War drama In the Land of Blood and Honey; Glenn Close, who in addition to a best actress nom for Albert Nobbs also earned a song-writing nomination for the lyrics she wrote for a tune in the movie; and Madonna, who also squeezed into the action with a song-writing nomination for W.E.
On the TV side, the big winners were PBS/Masterpiece Theater’s upstairs/downstairs series Downton Abbey and HBO’s foray into hardboiled James M. Cain territory, Mildred Pierce, with both shows taking home four noms each.
The membership of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which votes the annual awards, which will be handed out at televised ceremonies hosted by Ricky Gervais on Jan. 15, named Descendants and Help as two of the best dramas of the year, along with Martin Scorsese’s 3D valentine to the history of moviemaking Hugo, Clooney’s Ides, Bennet Miller’s baseball drama Moneyball and Steven Spielberg’s World War I epic War Horse.
In addition to an acting nom for Clooney, who plays a father whose life is unravelling, Descandants collected mentions for supporting actress Shailene Woodley, director Alexander Payne and its screenplay penned by Payne, Nat Faxon and Jim Rash. Help earned its five nominations with the help of acting noms for actresses Viola Davis, Jessica Chastain and Octavia Spencer and a song nomination for "The Living Proof," by Mary J. Blige, Thomas Newman, Harvey Mason, Jr. and Damon Thomas.
Woody Harrelson, star of the upcoming cop drama Rampart, drew laughs at the early-morning announcement held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel when, before announcing the best drama nominees, he adlibbed, “Rampart opens Jan. 27, but I don’t see it on the list.”
On the lighter side, Artist topped the list of best comedy or musical nominees, where it was joined by 50/50, a comedy about a young man with cancer; the bawdy all-girl jokefest Bridesmaids; the Gallic-flavored Midnight in Paris; and My Week with Marilyn, an account of a fling with Marilyn Monroe, which also brought Michelle Williams a best comedy/musical actress nomination for her performance as the iconic star.
Contributing to Artist’s sweep were acting nominations for its two lead players Jean Dujardin (as best comedy actor) and Berenice Bejo (as supporting actress) as well as director and screenwriter Michel Hazanavicius and composer Ludovic Bource.
Although the HFPA consistently denies that it favors star, there was a lot of star power on display among its choices.
Along with his acting nom, Clooney claimed a nomination for directing Ides. His buddy Brad Pitt was also on base with a dramatic actor nomination for Moneyball; Meryl Streep racked up her 26th Globe nomination for playing Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady; Leonardo DiCaprio secured a nom for his portrayal of another real-life figure, J. Edgar Hoover in J. Edgar; Ryan Gosling snared dual acting nominations, one in the drama category for his political operative in Ides and another for his comedy turn as a ladies man in Crazy, Stupid, Love; and Carnage, in which two Manhattan couples face off, earned two comedy actress nominations for its stars Jodie Foster and Kate Winslet, with Winslet also picking up a TV miniseries nomination for playing the title role in Mildred Pierce.
At the same time, the Globes voters welcomed a number of relatively new faces: Rooney Mara was nominated as best dramatic actress for her fierce and pierced performance in The Girl With the Golden Tattoo; Michael Fassbender grabbed a nom for his equally exposed portrait of a sex addict in Shame; and Kirsten Wiig picked up a best actress in a comedy nom for Bridesmaids, although her costar Melissa McCarthy was left standing at the altar, without a nomination.
While there were 11 films spotlighted among the best drama and best comedy/musical pictures, there were only five directors nominated, which meant someone had to be left off the list. From the comedy side, Allen and Hazanavicius made the cut, while the dramas served up Clooney, Payne and Scorsese. But that resulted in no noms for Help's Tate Taylor, Moneyball's Miller or Horse's Spielberg.
However, in addition to Horse, Spielberg was represented by The Adventures of Tintin in the animation category, which also includes Arthur Christmas, Cars 2, Puss in Boots and Rango.
Harvey Weinstein, who bet on Artist back in May when he picked up the film just prior to its debut at the Cannes Film Festival, had a lot to crow about, since the Weinstein Co. amassed 12 nominations, edging out Sony Pictures Classics, which had 10.
But for rival producer Scott Rudin, it was a morning with mixed results: While his Moneyball had four noms and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo had six, his post 9/11 drama Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close was entirely overlooked.
