Hot young Hollywood nominated for Golden Globes


The nominees for the 2011 Golden Globe Awards were announced this morning, peppered with the names of Hollywood's hot young thangs.

Did Meryl Streep not make a movie this year?

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association splits its film categories into comedy and drama, opening up the field for greater variety of honourees.

Best actor (drama) pits Ryan Gosling (Blue Valentine) up against James Franco (127 Hours) and Jesse Eisenberg (the Social Network). Colin Firth (The King's Speech) and Mark Wahlberg (the Fighter) round out the category.

Best actress (drama) sees Michelle Williams (Blue Valentine) competing with Natalie Portman (Black Swan) and Jennifer Lawrence (Winter's Bone) for the gold. Other nominees are Halle Berry (Frankie and Alice) and Nicole Kidman (Rabbit Hole).

Getting naked paid off for Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway, who are nominated for comedy actor and actress, respectively, for Love and Other Drugs.

And cheers to Emma Stone, who earned a comedy actress nomination for Easy A.

Elsewhere, Mila Kunis is up for best supporting actress for Black Swan.

And Andrew Garfield picked up a well-deserved nod for the Social Network (over equally-deserving Armie Hammer, and not-nearly-as-deserving Justin Timberlake).

Click inside for the full list of 2011 Golden Globe film nominees. The awards will be handed out January 16.

Nominated for best picture (drama) are Black Swan, the Fighter, Inception, The King’s Speech and the Social Network, which have all been long-buzzed about.

The best picture (comedy) category is a bizarre selection, perhaps indicating a ho-hum year for laughers. Nominees are Alice in Wonderland, Burlesque, The Kids are All Right, Red and the Tourist.
