Golden Globe Nominations Announced

Tear up whatever list you made of movies to watch this holiday season. The nominations for the 69th annual Golden Globes have been announced, and if you want to have any hope of understanding what people are talking about come awards season, you had better run out and see some of these.

Even though it's had Oscar Buzz since practically the day it started filming, we're still a bit surprised to see The Artist walk away with six nominations, the most of any film. Rounding out the big films are George Clooney's The Descendants with five noms, The Help with five, and The Ides of March, Midnight in Paris, and Moneyball with four each.
