‘Carol’ tops with 5 nods at Globes

“Carol”, a lesbian romance set in 1950s New York starring Cate Blanchett, topped nominations for the Golden Globes yesterday, as Hollywood’s awards season revs into high gear ahead of the all-important Oscars.

The film — starring Blanchett as a housewife who falls for a store clerk played by Rooney Mara — earned five nominations, including for best motion picture drama film and its two star actresses.

Financial crisis film “The Big Short”, thriller “The Revenant” and biopic “Steve Jobs” followed close behind with four nominations for the Globes, which will be handed out on January 10.

Apart from “Carol”, the other best motion picture drama nominees are “Mad Max: Fury Road”, “The Revenant”, harrowing kidnap tale “Room” and “Spotlight”, which recounts the Boston Globe’s probe into sex abuse in the Catholic Church.

In the race for best comedy or musical film are “The Big Short”, “Joy”, “The Martian”, “Spy” and “Trainwreck”.

The Globes nominations were announced a day after the Screen Actors Guild award contenders. “Trumbo” topped that list with three nods, including best ensemble cast and best lead actor for Bryan Cranston.

The nominations veered from expectations of “Spotlight” and “The Revenant” getting the most nods for best drama.
