Golden Globe Awards Nominees 2011

The academy announced Tuesday its list of nominees, one month before the official ceremony to be held next January 16.

With 7 nominations, “The King’s Speech” is leading the race, followed closely by “The Social Network” (6). The two favorites for the Golden Globes will compete for Best Film Drama, Best Director (Tom Hooper for the first, David Fincher for the second), Best Screenplay and Best Actor (Colin Firth the first, Jesse Eisenberg for the second).

Also, the boxing film “The Fighter” was nominated six times, including Best Picture, Best Actor (Mark Wahlberg) and Best Director (David O. Russell).
 
With four nominations each, “The Black Swan” and “Inception” are two outsiders to monitor. In “The Black Swan”, Natalie Portman (nominated for Best Actress , competing with Halle Berry, Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Lawrence and Michelle Williams) and Mila Kulis (vying for the title of Best Supporting Actress), is also competing for the trophy for the Best Motion Picture Drama and Best Director (Darren Aronofsky).

“Inception” could take the prize for Best Director (Christopher Nolan) or for Best Motion Picture Drama. Also nominated in the category of Best Screenplay, it is hard to believe that this movie will be rewarded. The salvation may come from the nomination for Best Original Score.
 
Comedy side, note the good performance of “Alice in Wonderland”, nominated three times (Best Comedy, Best Actor for Johnny Depp, also named in the same category for his role in “The Tourist”, and Best Original Score).
