GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINATIONS LED BY 12 YEARS AND AMERICAN HUSTLE


To the majority of audiences, the Golden Globes are the second-most prestigious film awards of the year. To the rest of us, they're not. Just when it looked like American Hustle wasn't living up to expectations set by the NYFCC, along comes the HFPA with seven nominations for David O. Russell's film, including one for each of its four leads. In the drama categories, 12 Years a Slave matches it, and considering the HFPA's tendency to give out Best Picture prizes to the most-nominated films, I'd say we have our two frontrunners! Also noteworthy: Lee Daniels' The Butler is shut out entirely, Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom scores three nominations, entering the race with some impact, The Wolf of Wall Street looks to still be suffering from a lack of visibility with voters, and the comedy / musical categories are as strong as they have been for years, overall, mostly due to a lack of actual musicals or comedies in the lineup.
