The Golden Globe nominees were announced Thursday, December 12, with French films once again strongly represented this year.
These nominations come two years after The Artist's Golden Globes triumph (Best Motion Picture and Best Director) and one year after Love's Best Foreign Language Film win. Once again this year, the nominations list for the 2014 Golden Globe Awards, which are presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and are considered a prelude to the Oscars, offers excellent visibility to French films.
Blue is the Warmest Color and The Past are nominated in the Best Foreign Language Film category, joining the ranks of The Great Beauty, a minority French production. Three French productions/co-productions thus feature as nominees in this category, as was the case last year (Love, The Intouchables, and Rust & Bone).
There is even a hint of a Francophile flavor this year, with the nomination of Julie Delpy in the Best Actress category for her role in Before Midnight by Richard Linklater.
The Golden Globes ceremony will be held January 12, 2014, in Beverly Hills.
