Golden Globes 2015 nominations revealed

Golden Globe Award voters soared with “Birdman” — this year’s movie nomination leader with seven — and continued to keep broadcast TV shows at arm’s length, NY Daily News reports.

The nominations for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s 72nd annual Golden Globes announced Thursday revealed few surprises — except for a complete snub of Golden Globe darlingAngelina Jolie and her POW drama, “Unbroken.”


That paved the way for “Birdman,” the quirky backstage comedy featuring Michael Keaton as an aging actor, to emerge as a leading candidate when Oscar nominations are announced early next year.


“The Imitation Game,” about British codebreakers, and “Boyhood,” Richard Linklater’s one-of-a-kind film captured over 10 years of a child’s life, finished with five nominations each, including the top prize, best motion picture drama.

“It’s a personal film,” Linklater told the News. “But at the end of the road, over 450 people worked on this over 10 years. It’s kind of cool for all of them.”


The other best drama nominees are “Selma,” “Foxcatcher” and “The Theory of Everything.”


“Birdman” is a frontrunner in the other top category, best musical or comedy film. It will compete with “Into the Woods,” “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” “St. Vincent” and “Pride” when Tina Fey and Amy Poehler host the casual, boozy awards show on Jan. 11.
