Kinsey nominated for Best Picture, Drama in Golden Globes
Sideways, a critically acclaimed tale of two men looking for love in California's wine country, led Golden Globes nominations on Monday with seven, one more than its closest rival, The Aviator, a biography of young Howard Hughes conquering Hollywood. The nominations for the awards given out by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association on January 16 are often an indicator of what films are jockeying for position for the U.S. film industry's top awards, the Oscars, presented in February. Also receiving five nominations each were Closer, a story of tangled love affairs among two couples; Finding Neverland, a fictional film about Peter Pan author J.M. Barrie; and Clint Eastwood's female boxing movie, Million Dollar Baby. The award for Best Dramatic Film is considered the top Golden Globe, and joining The Aviator, Closer, Finding Neverland, and Million Dollar Baby in this category were Hotel Rwanda, which chronicles the plight of one man in the Rwandan genocide, and Kinsey, about the life of sex researcher Alfred Kinsey.
Sideways topped the nominees for Best Film Musical or Comedy. That group included the romance Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind; the musical Ray, about the life of soul singer Ray Charles; The Phantom of the Opera, based on the play of the same name; and the hit animated movie The Incredibles. Two French films were among the five nominated for Best Foreign Language film: The Chorus and A Very Long Engagement. Also nominated were Spain's The Sea Inside, international coproduction The Motorcycle Diaries, and China's House of Flying Daggers.
The Golden Globes awards help narrow the competition for 2004's top films because in the past many nominees have gone on to win Oscars. That fact is especially important in this year's race, which has been considered wide open. "Two months ago we were thinking this had not been such a good year for movies," said Lorenzo Soria, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, "but recently we have been seeing lots of interesting and relevant films."
Don Cheadle in Rwanda and Liam Neeson in Kinsey earned nominations for Best Actor in a Drama. They will compete with Leonardo DiCaprio, who portrays eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes in The Aviator, Johnny Depp for Finding Neverland, and Spain's Javier Bardem in The Sea Inside. In a first, actor Jamie Foxx was nominated in three categories: Best Performance in a Film Musical for Ray, Best Supporting Actor for crime thriller Collateral, and Best Performance in a Miniseries or Made-for-TV Movie for Redemption. Among actors in a comedy or musical, Foxx will go head-to-head with Sideways star Paul Giamatti, comedian Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Kevin Kline in the Cole Porter musical De-Lovely, and Kevin Spacey for the Bobby Darin biopic Beyond the Sea.
Nominees for Best Actress in a Drama were Nicole Kidman for Birth, Britain's Imelda Staunton in Mike Leigh's abortion piece Vera Drake, Hilary Swank in Million Dollar Baby, Uma Thurman in Kill Bill: Vol. 2, and Scarlett Johansson for A Love Song for Bobby Long. Nominees for Best Actress in a Movie Musical or Comedy were Annette Bening in Being Julia, Ashley Judd for De-Lovely, Emmy Rossum for The Phantom of the Opera, Kate Winslet in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Renee Zellweger for Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason.
