Golden Globe Nominations 2013

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association really likes Lincoln. Steven Spielberg's historical drama led the 70th Annual Golden Globe nominations with 7 nods, while also showing love for Argo, Les Miserables, Zero Dark Thirty, Django Unchained, Silver Linings Playbook, and...Salmon Fishing in the Yemen?

Helen Mirren scored a Best Actress nomination for Hitchcock, who after her recent recognition by the SAG Awards seems poised to score an Oscar nomination over Emmanuelle Riva, whose stunning performance in Amour keeps getting inexplicably shut out. Nicole Kidman also scored another nomination for The Paperboy. Her SAG nomination was a complete surprise, but her nomination here seems to suggest there is more support for her than previously realized. Could she sneak in that 5th slot over Maggie Smith?

I am most thrilled by the recognition of Rachel Weisz in The Deep Blue Sea. She remains one of my  favorite performances of the year, and I hope this inspires Oscar voters to pop in those screeners.
