The Golden Globe noms for 2012 pretty much went as expected – The Artist leads the field with six noms ahead of The Descendants and The Help on five apiece – but Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy picked up precisely zero noms – and that’s a real shock.
Presumably the US distributors will now be working very hard to regain awards momentum and try to secure the Oscar noms that the film clearly deserves.
There were other shocks: only one nom for Clint’s J Edgar; just two noms for Spielberg’s War Horse and Fincher’s Girl With The Dragon Tattoo; Clooney’s Ides of March being recognised with four noms; Woody Allen securing four nods for Midnight In Paris; and only the actresses in Polanski’s Carnage being recognised.
Worthy of note: Clooney nominated for actor and director in two different films; Ryan Gosling nominated twice for Best Actor (for Crazy, Stupid, Love and Ides of March); Jodie Foster and Kate Winslet nominated for their roles in Carnage, with the latter actress also shortlisted in the TV movie section for Mildred Pearce.
At this stage, I’d put money on The Artist winning Best Film, but all the other categories are open… with one exception: I think Christopher Plummer, for his role in Beginners, will take the Supporting Actor Globe and every Supporting Actor gong going (he’s already won six and is up for another seven), including the Oscar (he’s never won before and only has one nomination to his name, garnered at the age of 80!).
