Brokeback Mountain is the early favorite for nominations in the Oscars race, dominates in Golden Globe nominations, and is the darling of critics. Brokeback Mountain looks like the film to beat.

With the bulk of the critics awards and Golden Globe noms behind us, the SAG and guilds noms are next up. Check out my 2005 awards season schedule for details (and the LA Times schedule too).

'Brokeback' Mountain' 8 Nominations – 3 Oscars Best Picture – Best Director – Best Actor Best Supporting Actor – Best Supporting Actress Best Screenplay Adaptation – Best Cinematography Best Original Score Congratulations to Ang Lee, Gustavo Santoalalla, Diana Ossana and Larry McMurtry! Gratitude to E. Annie Proulx, Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhall, Michelle Williams, Anne Hathaway, Roberta Maxwell and all the cast and crew of BBM.

Golden Globes

BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN: BEST DRAMATIC FILM – BEST DIRECTOR BEST SCREENPLAY – BEST SONG The Hollywood Foreign Press Association hosted its 63rd annual Golden Globe awards ceremony on January 16. 'Brokeback Mountain' walked away with four important wins. Brokeback Mountain dominated the Golden Globe noms with seven: nominations for everybody except Jake Gyllenhaal (ouch!). The next most nominated film was Good Night, Good Luck with only four. Interestingly, most of the big-contender films snubbed.
