Golden Globes race led by Spielberg's Lincoln

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 13 Desember 2012 | 22.19

Steven Spielberg's Lincoln, a portrait of the Civil War-era president at the most critical point of his career, earned a leading seven Golden Globe nominations this morning.

Lincoln is up for the best dramatic film trophy, and will face off against the Iran hostage drama Argo, shipwreck story Life of Pi, slavery revenge tale Django Unchained and the hunt for Osama Bin Laden thriller Zero Dark Thirty for the top prize, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced Thursday.

Along with Spielberg's directing nod, the performances in the historical epic Lincoln were singled out, with star Daniel Day-Lewis and co-stars Sally Field and Tommy Lee Jones nominated.

Day-Lewis will see strong competition for the dramatic film actor title, including from Joaquin Phoenix's raw navy veteran-turned-religious follower in The Master and John Hawkes's praised turn as a paralyzed man seeking the help of a sex therapist in The Sessions.

Rounding out the category's nominess are Richard Gere, who plays a cutthroat hedge-fund magnate in Arbitrage, and Denzel Washington's portrayal of a troubled, alcoholic airline pilot in Flight.

The field for best dramatic film actress is equally competitive and includes some of the industry's top performers, including Helen Mirren as the strong-minded filmmaker's wife in Hitchcock and Marion Cotillard as a whale trainer who loses her legs in an accident (Rust and Bone). Also nominated are Jessica Chastain, for her role as a CIA analyst in Zero Dark Thirty, Naomi Watts (who plays a mother caught up in the Asian tsunami in The Impossible) and Rachel Weisz, as a woman embroiled in a torrid affair (The Deep Blue Sea).

The nominees for direction came strictly from the dramatic categories. Along with Spielberg, Ben Affleck is nominated for Argo, Kathryn Bigelow for Zero Dark Thirty, Ang Lee for Life of Pi and Quentin Tarantino for Django Unchained.

The best comedy or musical film nominees are the warm retiree story The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, musical theatre remake Les Misérables; quirky childhood romance Moonrise Kingdom, British romantic drama Salmon Fishing in the Yemen and misfits tale Silver Linings Playbook.

TV nominees feature veterans and newbies

Among TV nominees are stalwarts The Big Bang Theory and Modern Family, which will face off against newer series Episodes, Girls and Smash for the best TV comedy or musical prize.
