2008 Golden Globes Nominations Announced; Atonement Leads

by Alex Billington

The nominations for the 65th Annual Golden Globe Awards, the precursor to the Oscars, have been announced for 2008. This year's selection has some promising choices, including plentiful mentions of No Country for Old Men, Michael Clayton, Juno, Charlie Wilson's War, and even Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. While the Golden Globes aren't exactly what we'll later see at the Oscars, they're a great set of awards that honor those who are sometimes forgotten by the Academy. The Globes will air live on NBC at 8PM (EST) on Sunday, January 13, 2008 from The Beverly Hilton in LA. Without further ado, you can catch the full list of nominees below.

Atonement leads the nominations with the most, 7 in total across a wide variety of categories. Charlie Wilson's War comes in second with 5 nominations. In addition, I'm very glad to see some particulars mentioned like Casey Affleck in Supporting Actor for Assassination of Jesse James and both Amy Adams for Enchanted and Nikki Blonsky for Hairspray. And of course I've got a smile on my face for them including "Walk Hard" the song from Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. That's almost like Sacha Baron Cohen from last year! Sound off!
