The 69th Annual Golden Globe Award nominations were announced this morning from Beverly Hills, and once again it looks like Michel Hazanavicius’ silent film The Artist is leading the way with a total of six nominations in the film categories, followed closely by The Descendants and The Help with five each. As always, there is some debate over what belongs in the Comedy or Musical category with My Week with Marilyn somehow sneaking in there, and they decided to go with 6 nominees in the Drama category, seemingly just so Steven Spielberg’s War Horse wouldn’t be left out.

Speaking of Spielberg, I think one of the more interesting nominations is The Adventures of Tintin in Best Animated Film category considering that it was done with performance capture. Monster House was nominated back in 2006, but with Pixar’s entry being pretty weak this year, it could be the first time a motion-captured film is a serious contender in this category. I’m happy to see Michael Fassbender get a nod for Best Actor – Drama, especially since he was passed over by the Screen Actors Guild Awards yesterday, and it’s also cool that Jonah Hill got a nomination for Best Supporting Actor in Moneyball. Do you see any glaring omissions here? Check out the full list of nominees after the jump.
