Perebutan menuju gelar film terbaik untuk tahun 2011 semakin diperhangat dengan diumumkannya nominasi The 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards, malam ini. Untuk tahun ini, The Artist memimpin daftar perolehan nominasi setelah film asal Perancis tersebut berhasil meraih 6 nominasi termasuk nominasi di kategori Best Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical. Raihan The Artist tersebut diikuti oleh The Descendants yang memperoleh 5 nominasi serta The Ides of March, Midnight in Paris, The Help dan Moneyball yang sama-sama meraih 4 nominasi. Sementara itu, film karya Martin Scorsese, Hugo, berhasil meraih 3 nominasi termasuk untuk Best Motion Picture – Drama dan Best Director.
Hollywood Foreign Press Association membuktikan cinta mereka pada Angelina Jolie! Walau tidak menempatkan debut penyutradaraan Jolie, In the Land of Blood and Honey, pada kategori utama, namun film tersebut berhasil meraih satu nominasi di kategori Best Foreign Language. HFPA juga kembali menunjukkan bahwa mereka sangat, sangat mencintai George Clooney — yang film arahannya, The Ides of March, mendapatkan banyak nominasi, Ryan Gosling — yang dinominasikan untuk dua kategori, termasuk sebuah nominasi untuk film Crazy, Stupid, Love. yang sepertinya akan membuat Steve Carell tersinggung serta Kate Winslet yang kembali memiliki peluang untuk membawa pulang dua penghargaan sekaligus — nominasi yang ia peroleh untuk film televisi, Mildred Pierce, sepertinya telah pasti akan menjadi miliknya.
