HOLLYWOOD
- Ensemble drama
Babel
leads the nominations at next year's Golden Globe Awards, boasting seven nods including Best Dramatic Picture and an acting accolade for star
Brad Pitt
.
The film, spanning several countries telling four interrelated stories, sees
Pitt
praised in the Best Actor in a Supporting Role category. He'll battle it out alongside
Ben Affleck
(
Hollywoodland
) and
Eddie Murphy
(
Dreamgirls
), as well as
The Departed
co-stars
Jack Nicholson
and
Mark Wahlberg
. The mob thriller earned a total of six nominations today.
Babel
's
Rinko Kikuchi
and
Adriana Barraza
also received supporting acting nods, along with
Cate Blanchett
for
Notes on a Scandal
,
Emily Blunt
for
The Devil Wears Prada
and
Jennifer Hudson
for
Dreamgirls
.
But it's
Leonardo DiCaprio
who looks most likely to convert an acting nomination into a trophy after being named twice in the Best Actor category.
His performances in
The Departed
and
Blood Diamond
are up against
Peter O'Toole
's in
Venus
,
Will Smith
's in
The Pursuit of Happyness
and
Forest Whitaker
's portrayal of former Ugandan dictator Idi Amin in
The Last King of Scotland
.
Actor-turned-director
Clint Eastwood
is another star with a double reason to celebrate--
Flags of Our Fathers
competes against his other war film
Letters from Iwo Jima
in the Best Director category.
Meanwhile,
Helen Mirren
stands to win three awards at the star-studded Hollywood ceremony next month. Her role as monarch-in-crisis Queen Elizabeth II in
The Queen
pits her against another veteran British actress,
Judi Dench
, for
Notes on a Scandal
.
Penelope Cruz
is also a strong contender for Best Actress in
Volver
, as well
Maggie Gyllenhaal
(
Sherrybaby
) and
Kate Winslet
in the suburban drama
Little Children
.
Mirren
's other nods are for small-screen work--her roles in
Prime Suspect: The Final Act
and period piece
Elizabeth I
could see her pick up a Best Actress in a Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television.
Both films will compete for Best TV Mini-Series alongside the star-studded adaptation of
Charles Dickens
' complicated crime masterpiece
Bleak House
,
Broken Trail
and
Mrs. Harris
.
There were no surprises in the most popular TV categories with
24
,
Big Love
,
Lost
,
Heroes
, and hospital drama
Grey's Anatomy
all in with a chance to win the Best Drama Prize, and
Desperate Housewives
,
Entourage
,
The Office
,
Ugly Betty
and
Weeds
battling it out for the Best Comedy or Musical.
Last month it was revealed Hollywood legend
Warren Beatty
is to be honored with the 64th Cecil B. DeMille Award for Lifetime Achievement at the 2007 Golden Globe Awards. It will be
Beatty
's sixth Globe.
The awards are given out annually by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and are a key indicator of which movies will compete for the Academy Awards, the film industry's top honors.
