The 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards will be held in Hollywood on January 11, 2009, and the nominations for the prizes have just been unveiled. The big news is that Doubt, Frost/Nixon and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button lead the pack with five nominations apiece, closely followed by Slumdog Millionaire, Revolutionary Road, Vicky Cristina Barcelona and The Reader with four.

It's anyone's race, as the wide spread of these nominations suggests. The big Best Motion Picture - Drama category sees Button, Frost/Nixon, The Reader, Revolutionary Road and Slumdog Millionaire fighting it out for the big prize, proving that every film with awards pretensions should have at least one British star (Button's got Tilda Swinton, after all, and that's the only one with a merely tenuous link). Just behind the leaders are The Wrestler with three, and In Bruges, which took acting nominations in the Comedy/Musical category for both Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson. Let's hope they don't split the Irish American vote.

Best Motion Picture - Comedy/Musical has an interesting mix of smart, black comedies and one over-the-top Abba fest. The nominees are In Bruges, Burn After Reading, Happy-Go-Lucky, Vicky Cristina Barcelona and Mamma Mia! It'll be interesting to see if the results there follow box office and go for the Meryl Streep movie or reward a much smaller and more interesting film.

Streep, however, will be celebrating, with two acting nods - one for her dramatic turn in Doubt and one for the aforementioned Mamma Mia! But she's not alone: Kate Winslet also landed two, a leading dramatic nomination for her excellent turn in Revolutionary Road, and a supporting nod for The Reader. The Jolie-Pitt household will also be celebrating today, with Pitt landing a nomination for his turn in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Jolie nominated for Changeling. In among the surprises are two Best Supporting Actor nominations for Tropic Thunder, for Robert Downey Jr and Tom Cruise.
