69th Annual Golden Globes Nominations

The 69th Annual Golden Globes Nominations have been announced and, as expected, no major surprises. "The Artist" (6 nominations), "The Descendants" (5 nominations), "The Help" (5 nominations), "Moneyball" (4 nominations) and "Midnight in Paris" (4 nominations) are clearly the movies that will receive the most attention during the awards season. "Hugo" (3 nominations) and "War Horse" (2 nominations) managed to take some notice, thanks mostly to the fact that they were directed by Scorsese and Spielberg, respectively.  And in another surprise, David Fincher's remake of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" scored two nominations, for Best Actress - Drama (Rooney Mara) and Best Original Score (Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross). The Golden Globes will be awarded on January 15, 2012, and the show will be, once again, hosted by Ricky Gervais. Read the full list of nominations after the jump :

ARGO - September 14, 2012

Official Synopsis: Based on true events, “Argo” chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis—the truth of which was unknown by the public for decades. On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point, militants storm the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. But, in the midst of the chaos, six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of the Canadian ambassador. Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found out and likely killed, a CIA “exfiltration” specialist named Tony Mendez (Affleck) comes up with a risky plan to get them safely out of the country. A plan so incredible, it could only happen in the movies.
