Brokeback Mountain Rules the Golden Globes
The gay cowboy romance Brokeback Mountain dominated the
list of nominated movies for the prestigious Golden Globe Awards when the
list was released Tuesday, thereby also positioning itself as a serious
Oscar competitor.
The movie, which follows the life of two gay cowboys (Heath Ledger and
Jake Gyllenhaal), is nominated in seven categories, including best
dramatic picture.
It
also was nominated for best director (Ang Lee), best actor in a drama
(Heath Ledger) and best supporting actress in a drama (Michelle Williams)
as well as best screenplay, best original score and best original song.
The nominations came a day after "Brokeback Mountain" won the New York
Film Critics Circle's best picture, best director and best actor (Ledger)
awards.
"Brokeback Mountain" is expected to get tough competition from the other
contenders in the drama category: Woody Allens "Match Point", the thriller
"The Constant Gardener", "Good Night, and Good Luck" and "A History of
Violence".
The list of Golden Globe nominations is followed closely by the movie
industry as it is often a good indication of who will receive Oscar
nominations later.
