The list of Golden Globe nominees is out! The 64th Golden Globes, a three hour telecast, will be held on January 15th at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, and broadcast on NBC.

It looks like Babel, starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett is leading the pack in number of nominations. The movie received seven nominations including best picture and best director. Babel was also nominate for best screenplay, three nominations in supporting categories, and best orginal score. The film didn’t do all that well in the box office but it’s a major contender for the upcoming awards season.

Then there’s Leonardo DiCaprio who received best actor nominations for best actor in a motion picture drama for his roles as South African jewel hunting mercenary in Blood Diamond, and as an undercover cop in The Departed. Peter O’Toole was also nominated in the same category for his role as an aging actor in Venus, and Will Smith also got a nod for his role in The Pursuit of Happyness, as did Forest Whitaker in The last kind of Scotland.

Clint Eastwood is up for awards in the Best Director category for Flags of Our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima. Letters was also nominated for best Foreign film as the movie is largely in Japanese. Martin Scorsese for The Departed, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu for Babel, and Stephen Frears for The Queen have all also be nominated for Best Director.
