Atonement [1] came up big this morning when the nominations for the Golden Globe Awards [2] were announced in Hollywood. The film snagged seven nominations — three for the acting of stars James McAvoy,
Keira Knightley, and Saoirse Ronan and four more for Best Dramatic Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Score.
Also getting a lot of attention from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association: Charlie Wilson's War [3], which snagged five nominations, including Best Musical or Comedy and acting nominations for Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Sweeney Todd [4], Michael Clayton, [5] and No Country for Old Men [6] were close behind with four nominations each.
In the television categories, cable series got a lot of love, including new shows Californication [7], Damages [8], and Mad Men [9].
I'll be back with my complete thoughts later today, but for now, you can check out all the nominees if you .
