The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HAFTA) announced its 2009 nominees for the Golden Globes this morning. The Golden Globes are considered a harbinger of the Oscar season, even though they generally throw a few wacky choices into their slate.
For those keeping track, Up in the Air nabbed six nominations, followed by Avatar with four. Sandra Bullock continues to enjoy a stellar year, as she was nominated for The Blind Side as well as The Proposal. Other double nominees include Meryl Streep (Julie and Julia, It’s Complicated), and Matt Damon (Invictus, The Informant!). Directors Quentin Tarantino and Jason Reitman each got a nod for directing and screenplay as well.
