SOT Jim Broadbent - Yes I'll go to America, I'll go for the awards, I think it will be too much of a party to miss, I think 17 Clip - 'Amelie' SOURCE: APTN/Bandits please courtesy MGM, Beautiful Mind Please Courtesy Universal Pictures AUSTRALIA NO LONGER OUTBACK WHEN IT COMES TO FILMS It will be a merry Christmas down under with Aussie talent causing a big spin at the Golden Globe nomiations, announced yesterday Big winners in terms of nominations are 'Moulin Rouge,' directed by Baz Luhrmann and staring Nicole Kidman and 'Beautiful Mind,' with Russell Crowe, both of which garnered six nods each They are also emerging as hot-favourite for the looming Oscars, says Kirk Honeycutt, film critic for the industry bible, 'The Hollywood Reporter' Sydney-born Cate Blanchett is in the frame for her comedy role in 'Bandits' and Kidman also picked a nomination from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for 'The Others' Like Kidman, Billy Bob Thornton is named in both the drama and comedy/music sections With 'The Lord of the Rings,' made in New Zealand and directed by a Kiwi, named in four categories, the Antipodean film industry can look back on 2001 as a bumper year This year's Golden Globes maintained its loyaltly to independent films, recognizing arthouse hits such as freshman director Todd Field's 'In the Bedroom,' hard rock musical 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch', British period piece 'Gosford Park' and the romance drama, 'Iris' Motion Picture, Drama: A Beautiful Mind In the Bedroom The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring The Man Who Wasn't Their Mulholland Drive Best Actress, Drama: Halle Berry, Monster's Ball Judi Dench, Iris Nicole Kidman, The Others Sissy Spacek, In the Bedroom Tilda Swinton, The Deep End Best Actor, Drama: Russell Crowe, A Beautiful Mind Will Smith, Ali Kevin Spacey, The Shipping News Billy Bob Thornton, The Man Who Wasn't There Denzel Washington, Training Day Motion Picture, Musical/Comedy: Bridget Jones's Diary Gosford Park Legally Blonde Moulin Rouge Shrek Best Actress, Musical/Comedy Thora Birch, Ghost World Cate Blanchett Bandits Nicole Kidman, Moulin Rouge Ren?e Zellweger, Bridget Jones's Diary Best Actor, Musical/Comedy Gene Hackman, The Royal Tenenbaums Hugh Jackman, Kate & Leopold Ewan McGregor, Moulin Rouge John Cameron Mitchell Hedwig and the Angry Inch Billy Bob Thornton, Bandits Foreign-Language Film Am?lie (France) Behind the Sun (Brazil) Monsoon Wedding (India) No Man's Land (Bosnia) Y Tu Mama Tambien (And Your Mother Too) (Mexico) Best Supporting Actress: Jennifer Connelly, A Beautiful Mind Cameron Diaz Vanilla Sky Helen Mirren, Gosford Park Maggie Smith, Gosford Park Marisa Tomei, In the Bedroom Kate Winslet, Iris Best Supporting Actor Jim Broadbent, Iris Steve Buscemi, Ghost World; Hayden Christensen, Live as a House Ben Kingsley, Sexy Beast Jude Law, AI Artificial Intelligence Jon Voight, Ali Best Director Robert Altman, Gosford Park Ron Howard, A Beautiful Mind Peter Jackson, The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring Baz Luhrmann, Moulin Rouge David Lynch, Mulholland Drive Steven Spielberg, AI Artificial Intelligence Best Screenplay Joel Coen & Ethan Coen, The Man Who Wasn't There Julian Fellowes, Gosford Park Akiva Goldsman, A Beautiful Mind David Lynch, Mulholland Drive Christopher Nolan, Memento Best Original Score Craig Armstrong, Moulin Rouge Angelo Baldamenti,Mulholland Drive Lisa Gerrard & Pierre Bourke, Ali James Horner, A Beautiful Mind Howard Shore, The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring John Williams, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Hans Zimmer, Pearl Harbor Best Original Song Come What May, David Baerwald (Moulin Rouge) May It Be, Enya (The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring); There You'll Be, Diane Warren (Pearl Harbor) Until, Sting (Kate & Leopold) Vanilla Sky, Paul McCartney (Vanilla Sky) FILM CLIP DETAILS Amelie Miramax 1 212 941 3800 Lord Of The Rings New Line Cinema 1 310 834 5811 Iris Miramax 1 212 941 3800 Moulin Rouge 20th Century Fox 1 310 369 3605 Sexy Beast 20th Century Fox 1 310 369 3605 A Beautiful Mind Universal 1 818 777 1000 Bandits 20th Century Fox 1 310 369 3605
