[ZetaPhi708]

'Brokeback Mountain' Leads Globe Nods By DAVID GERMAIN, AP Movie Writer

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - The cowboy romance "Brokeback Mountain" led Golden Globe contenders Tuesday with seven nominations, among them best dramatic picture and honors for actors Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams and director Ang Lee, positioning itself as a key Academy Awards competitor.

Other best drama picture contenders were the murder thriller "The Constant Gardener," the Edward R. Murrow tale "Good Night, and Good Luck," the mobster story "A History of Violence," and the infidelity drama "Match Point."

The Globes have a separate category for musical or comedy films. Nominated there were the theater tale "Mrs. Henderson Presents," the Jane Austen costume pageant "Pride & Prejudice," the Broadway musical "The Producers," the divorce story "The Squid and the Whale," and the Johnny Cash film biography "Walk the Line."

I will post the full list of nominees as soon as it is posted.

Well at least Pitt & Jolie don't have to worry about sitting next to Aniston & Vaughn. (There was a whole article about it, how they might have to sit together because of Mr. & Mrs. Smith).

It's on now... does anyone else think the Golden Globes are sort of awkward? I think with the alcohol and the tables and the live broadcast, something funny/awkward always happens.
