Ed Helms, Megan Fox and Jessica Alba, were all up early this morning to read out the nominees for the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards.

Stephen Spielberg’s Lincoln took out the most nominations with 7 (including Best film, Best Director, and Best Actor for Daniel Day Lewis), Ben Affleck’s Argo and  Les Misérables received the next highest nominations with 5 and 4 respectively.

Surprisingly, Meryl Streep managed to pick up yet another nomination for her role as one half of an unsatisfied married couple in Hope Springs. Not that she gave a bad performance (Meryl could never do that!), it’s just that I didn’t think it was an award nominated performance – but then again, it’s Meryl Streep!

In the TV category – Modern Family, Homeland and Breaking Bad took out the most nominations.

The Hollywood Foreign Press will honour Jodie Foster with the Cecil B DeMille Award.

Miss Golden Globe (always a child of a famous actor), this year is Francesca Eastwood (daughter of Clint and Frances Fisher).

The Golden Globe Awards are voted for by the members of the Hollywood Foreign Press (who contribute to publications in 55 countries around the world), and are one of the favourite award ceremonies of the season as it includes both the big and silver screens
