Hollywood Foreign Press 2009 Golden Globe nominaees in film

The Golden Globe Award nominations have been announced by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

(Remember that the Globes cover both Film and TV and divide the main awards into drama and music or comedy, so there are more nominees than for any other awards. Many people believe this allows the Foreign Press to kiss the ass of more Hollywood notables. Also remember that - unlike the awards I have already covered - these are just nominations. The awards will be announced on NBC (if there is no actors' strike) on Jan. 11)
