Richard Jenkins, Hiam Abbass in The Visitor

BEST ACTOR
Clint Eastwood (Gran Torino)
  Richard Jenkins (The Visitor) 
  Frank Langella (Frost/Nixon)
  Sean Penn (Milk)
Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler)

Clint Eastwood becomes a sentimental favorite whenever he has a Message to convey; 
Sean Penn and Mickey Rourke have been winning awards left and right;
 Frank Langella will get his first Oscar nod (a sort of career achievement recognition, like James Garner&#8217;s &#8212; well-deserved &#8212; nomination for Murphy&#8217;s Romance back in 1985);
 and so will SAG nominee Richard Jenkins.

Runners-up: Unless Dev Patel pulls off a Keisha Castle-Hughes upset (she was pushed as a supporting player for Whale Rider in 2003, but landed a &#8212; truly surprising &#8212; best actress nod instead), the five [...]]]></description>

Golden Globe record holder Meryl Streep in Mamma Mia! (top) and in Doubt (bottom)

The biggest surprise in the 2008 Golden Globe nominations&#8217; list is that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association didn&#8217;t dig a spot for Nicole Kidman in Australia (which was totally shut out), especially considering that Kidman&#8217;s former husband Tom Cruise did garner a best supporting actor nod for Tropic Thunder. (Cruise&#8217;s nomination, by the way, elicited laughter from journalists present at the Golden Globes announcement ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Laughter also greeted  James Franco&#8217;s nomination &#8212; not for Milk, mind you, but as best actor in a comedy or musical for Pineapple Express.)
Among  other Golden Globe oddities was the fact that  Milk  [...]]]></description>

Tom O&#8217;Neil in the Gold Derby:
&#34;No, no, no, no &#8212; contrary to some wrongheaded sources over the past few days, Helen Mirren did not make Golden Globe history by becoming the first star to win kudos for acting on film and TV in the same year. Joan Plowright did so back in 1992, winning best supporting actress in [the] film Enchanted April and best supporting TV actress for Stalin.
&#34;In addition to tying Rosalind Russell as the biggest winner of film awards by a woman (five), Meryl Streep tied another Globe record, too. Back in 2003, remember, she won a trophy for appearing on [...]]]></description>

2007 National Society of Film Critics award winners: New York City on January 6, 2007

&#160;

BEST FILM
Pan&#8217;s Labyrinth directed by Guillermo del Toro (34)

		<description><![CDATA[
The National Society of Film Critics (NSFC), composed of 58 U.S. critics mostly based in New York City and Los Angeles, has chosen Guillermo del Toro&#8217;s Spanish-language dark fantasy Pan&#8217;s Labyrinth as the best film of 2006. 
Set in 1940s Spain, Pan&#8217;s Labyrinth tells the story of a girl (Ivana Baquero) who finds herself living in two worlds: One of Fascist horror above ground, one of dark magic below ground. Also in the cast are  Sergi López, Ariadna Gil, Doug Jones, and Maribel Verdú, none of whom made the NSFC&#8217;s list of winners or top runners-up. (In the last couple of decades, acting categories have tended to be restricted to English-speaking roles.)
